Legal route for me IF its viable. No other route for me if it isn't. I'm middle-class.
Most of my battles have been against 'City Hall' (the BBC, the Arts Council, the University of London), so I just had to walk away from these. Me against collossal legal teams? Wasn't worth the negative energy and emotional stress, let alone the loss of positive, productive time.
But I used to live in various **** parts of London, where some people operate entirely outside of middle-class ways.
No doubt some middle-class people aren't very nice either, but I try not to keep their company.
I'm not advocating, nor have I ever advocated, anything criminal. But that doesn't mean that criminal methods aren't used by those with criminal attitudes - and I mean real life and not just TV.
To the OP: do your best to recover your money through all available legal channels. If you cannot, then put it down to experience and move swiftly on.
