The seller ( xxxx) reserves the right to place a stop on the cheque or delay payment if the Settlement Agreement correctly executed and not returned prior to the presentation of the refund.

That is seconded. The first sentence makes the form invalid anyway and a court would not allow it.

 

What are the circumstances of this purchase? Was it bought from a private individual or is it a business? It sounds like a bit of a [problem] to me.

I take it you have his name and address? If so write to him/her demanding the goods or refund (dont use that form!) otherwise court action will be taken. This form sent to you is just a nonsense.

 

It may be worth checking out the address to see if it is a house or business premesis. If it looks like a busines premesis, then call Trading Standards (or Consumer Direct)

The address I was given is false, the telephone is for some old dear who can't even understand what I say shes so deaf. It was sent to me and all contact has been via email.

I have the bank account details with sort code and name but no address which the bank won't give to me - (understandable but not helping!)
