KfW stop! Energy consultant wants his money!

Question from a non-businesswoman: At the tax office or with the builder? What is more advantageous for the energy consultant?

What do you think? The contractor claims lost profits against the client. Like the energy consultant against the annoyed homeowner. Although I’m not exactly sure whether VOB applies here in the "private sector".

Basically, according to the VOB, he could invoice for the services rendered and claim lost profits for cancelled services.

Which craftsman invoices private individuals according to the VOB? That is totally unusual. One should not agree to VOB with consumers.

You can save yourselves such comments, because it is clear here that you haven't understood what is bothering me, and you can't insult me at all, I will give that back to you just the same! Above all, the suggestion to reduce the bill came from him and not from me. Besides, in a job it is also expected that you deliver full performance, and if not, you have to face the consequences!!!!

Well, if you only want approval, then a public forum is probably the wrong place for you. I have expressed my personal opinion about your behavior. An insult was not included. Apart from the fact that he delivered his performance and you owe him the appropriate compensation, your further behavior here does show me that you are not willing to behave verbally moderate. That makes such negotiations much harder.

I said then that I don't know exactly. We only do B2B.

This is just going around in circles. No one can confirm that you are right based on your information. And you can see that there are obviously no like-minded people here either. You need to clarify the rest directly with the energy consultant.

2. He offered that we first transfer 1000,- and if his previous service is no longer usable due to the KfW stop, he would reduce the invoice (1000,-)!

Sorry, I still don’t understand which amount is supposed to be reduced here. The total amount, i.e. 4600 €, or the down payment of 1000 €? A down payment is not the same as an invoice? That’s why I’m asking again: did you specifically address this with the energy consultant??? The final invoice has now been requested several times. It should itemize the costs in detail, including the discount. You haven’t given any concrete answer regarding this yet!
