No legal contract or anything?

What the actual fuck? :-D
@HotaruBlaze
The whole who has the contract thing wouldn't hold up in court. In best case scenario it would be noticed and would lower the charge at best.
The customer must be notified prior to a take over of data, which doesn't seem to be the case here. If Eric or whatever argues here that he took over the operational from 12/25/2025 it would lower the charge but it would still be a GDPR breach if he has already access to every customers data.
The contracts are with Lewis and his company. He's gone and removed himself from all access to everything.
My intentions are to ensure the systems are online and operational for everyone who wants to use them. I'm still reviewing all the data as there's a ton of crazy stuff here and there's a lot of sales that were just plain unrealistic
Eric, if I were you, I would get a lawyer and find a way to annulled the transfer. Document everything. Including your communications with Lewis
I don't know how much you pay (Don't disclosed it before seeing a lawyer). But, I would assume it's amount lower than the possible chargeback
Not a great sign.
Looks like you didn't know this (unrealistic deals as you put it) before the buyover? That's outrageous
what buy over?
mr lewis edwards simply gave mr eric access to everything
what buy over?
mr lewis edwards simply gave mr eric access to everything
haha
This is a load of bullshit and I don't believe a word of it. Trying to keep the systems up so people who want to use it can, but will not honor contracts moving forward? Even if he just turned over access to everything to someone, and no money exchanged hands, why would that person want the liability?
Interesting profile picture on his steam account

@VeloxMedia did you make this purchase from Lewis via reddit? out of curiosity
Is the period from 12/21 to 12/24 a kind of black hole?
Grace period?
hey smokes you should check out her instagram
URL updated on Steam so fast?

should be a perm link
so who gets to deal with all the incoming chargebacks?
also - really glad i didn't fall for any of the the veloxmedia deals on BF - it all smelled a bit fishy.
fake story = same guy maybe ?
Yes, and as a sole trader he is personally legally liable for honouring those. If those are deals aren't honoured, customers have every right to chargeback and paypal will be chasing him personally to recoup that money.
Not necessarily. If their original privacy policy allowed for the provision of sharing data with relevant business partners, then they're probably completely fine.
I mean in the general case. There have been quite a few instances where relatively bigger companies rescue a deadpooling small company, and I think in almost every case it's negatively affected their own image.
A small company "rescuing" a smaller company seems like asking for trouble. Like deliberately speedrun a game on hard mode when they haven't even figured out if they can survive the first level on easy mode.
Nah, contracts are for losers, in gentlemen world it is traditional to trust each other.
Any deals to celebrate
Are you sure? As Veloxmedia isn't registered as a company, the invoice should have explicitly stated that it was Lewis trading under that name. Usually "person t/a brand" or "brand (a trading name of person)".
I am so sad.. this was my first purchase on LET and I am now kind of afraid to make any more.. I am without a job right now and this was supposed to be my development box, now I am at a loss as how to move forward. I am out the money,I literally pawned stuff to make this possible and now can't trust my setup... this isn't a sob story just a real life experience. @VeloxMedia
It was the weekend. The whole of the UK is down the pub during the weekend.
EDIT: maybe they were down the pub on Sunday and just have a really bad hangover now...
So anyway, does Mr Eric have a surname?
What country is Mr Eric based in?
Is Mr Eric aware that in the UK at least, using the word "bent" in your company name makes it sound like you're intentionally planning on scamming people?
