Hi.
Seeking help on a rather complex situation... 3 separate issues with same undischarged bankrupt (i'll call him Joe - not his real name ) in qld.
1. Joe & his partner entered a residential lease agreement with me in Sep 2013. Partner vacated several months later. Joe remained in the house until Mar 2015, however ceased making rent payments in Jul 2014. Rent arrears $12,600
2. Joe purchased a car from me in Sep 2013 for $10,400... Ceasing payments with $5,600 outstanding balance shortly after he "wrote off" the car.
3. Joe was a friend, thus he was aware I was looking to renovate my house. Joe, was a building designer and thus to enable debt recovery of above 2 items I entered a design agreement with him for my house renovation. Unbeknownst to me, Joe had deliberately misled me with regard to his licence for design work and with regard to the standard of execution / professionalism he intended to provide. He apparently had no intent to follow the industry standard management procedures included in the agreement he issued and invoiced against. Email confirming his position after design dispute arose. The design is 10months late, does not comply with design brief and can not be licenced. Fees paid $21,400
Joe continues to work now doing design work for cash - by his own admission.
Looking for help regarding the path forward for recovery of rent arrears, car payments and claim for design breaches, etc... Knowing Joe is an undischarged bankrupt - are there chances of recovery?
RTA dispute resolution has been requested for rental arrears...QCAT has been contacted about design dispute... Mediation via Dept Justice also initiated.
Other than suing Joe for car payments, I'm unsure as to how to proceed with this... Purchase agreement was unsecured ( trust based )
Quite a mess really, trying to find a path forward.
All suggestions appreciated.
