Face book , market placeWe're did you see the boat advertised? How was contact made? Have you tried prefacing the number with 141 to hide your number?

RepliedGood point.
Almost certainly won’t give you it. GDPR regs etc.The docks might put you in touch with the owner. However the real owner might not be the person you paid £500 to.
They would give it to plod tho - a combination of a record of your messages sent, the bank transfer and the Marina knowing his address should be an easy case.Time to call in the plod.
No, taking the boat would be theft. Being legally precise about things, the boat is not your property.Yes so because it’s civil I can go over and take the boat until its resolved
Theft yes , unless I explain it’s a civil matter and I have a claim to the boatNo, taking the boat would be theft. Being legally precise about things, the boat is not your property.
Being new to this forum you probably don’t realise that the people who are trying to help you really know their stuff and are very experienced in complex commercial negotiations. Suggest you listen to them before jumping to your own diy conclusions.Theft yes , unless I explain it’s a civil matter and I have a claim to the boat
No. You definitely do NOT have any claim against the boat. Your claim is civil - the seller (who I assume is a private individual) is in breach of contract for failing to deliver the boat you paid a deposit on. However, your chances of getting it back are pretty low. Sending a deposit to an unknown person on a boat you have not seen with no evidence in writing of the contract is highly risky.Theft yes , unless I explain it’s a civil matter and I have a claim to the boat
You can explain it but you would not be correct. It would be theft. You have no claim on the boat in English law.Theft yes , unless I explain it’s a civil matter and I have a claim to the boat
You could attempt to legally put a lien on the boat but you would need to take legal advice. The key point will be do you have any proof that the £500 deposit you paid related to the boat purchase, the seller could simply counterclaim that it was a personal debt that you paid.Theft yes , unless I explain it’s a civil matter and I have a claim to the boat
