frommelt seo Friedemann Frommelt Request for Payment of Outstanding Balance for Completed Apex Turf Project Leipzig Saxony

Dear Friedemann,

I hope this message finds you well, although I must express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the recent developments.

In accordance with your instructions, I diligently submitted a positive review in response to my previous complaint. However, I am appalled to discover that the payment you made in relation to the matter was subsequently canceled, leaving us unpaid and without a clear explanation for this sudden reversal.

Furthermore, your previous email mentioned alarming threats of filing a harassment case against our company and contacting our embassy, alluding to potential damage to our reputation on the internet. Such actions are not only unwarranted but also deeply unprofessional.

Adding to our distress, all attempts to communicate with you have proven futile. You have blocked all of our contact numbers, rendering us unable to establish direct communication with you. Despite my numerous emails seeking clarification and resolution, my efforts have been met with silence, exacerbating the frustration and sense of helplessness.

Regrettably, your actions have forced me to once again draft this complaint to address the ongoing issues we are facing as a result of your behavior.

I urge you to immediately rectify the situation by honoring your payment obligations and ceasing any threats or actions that may harm our company's reputation. Additionally, I implore you to unblock our contact numbers and engage in open and transparent communication to resolve this matter promptly.

We believe in fair and ethical business practices and expect the same level of professionalism from all parties involved. It is my sincere hope that we can find a mutually agreeable resolution that restores trust and ensures a positive way forward.

Dear Friedmann,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my gratitude for your recent payment, which covers the outstanding balance for the work I completed for you. It is always a pleasure to work with clients who value the effort and dedication that goes into providing quality services.

Your prompt payment is greatly appreciated and is a testament to our successful collaboration. I sincerely hope that you were pleased with the work I delivered and that it met your expectations.

Thank you once again for your timely payment. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can assist you with.

Best regards,

Dear Abhi Doshi and Janvi Anadkat N. from Code Buddy's,


I am surprised you are writing bad reviews about my business and complaining about not having received payment. As of today, April 23rd, 2023, I have not received your full bank details to pay you. Furthermore, there are still mistakes in your invoice.

Prior to working with Code Buddy's (https://codebuddys.in/), I agreed with Janvi, who I had the first meeting with, that all invoices have to contain all information to comply with German taxation law as my company is registered in Germany. Janvi agreed and stated that it would be no problem for Code buddy's to provide complete and legal invoices for German taxation. 

I have also provided you with a list in English that contains all the information that is required: (https://stripe.com/en-de/guides/invoicing-best-practices-for-germany)

To this day, you have failed to include your business' name on the invoice as well as what type of legal entity your business is. 

I have received the account number and IFSC code of Janvi's personal bank account on the invoice. However, as she abbreviated her last name with N. in her resume and only provided an email address on the invoice, I was not able to make a payment to this day, as the full legal name of the account holder is required.

I was not provided with the details for a business bank account belonging to Code Buddy's or a personal bank account from Abhi, though he said he is the sole proprietor of the business.

A few pieces of information that I would like to add to the statement of Abhi from Code Buddy's that were left out or stated incorrectly:

".. as per our agreement, and successfully completed it by March 21st."

Code Buddy's never finished the project. Simple changes like centering images on mobile were not implemented and were falsely delivered to me as completed tasks. Even after several review requests. 

"We have made numerous attempts to contact you since March 22nd, but we have not received any response." 

I stopped responding as you did not manage to provide me with the required details. I was fed up with having to correct you over and over again on how to write a simple invoice without forgetting crucial information such as your business name and your full bank details.
I have provided you with all the information that is required by German tax law, and all of the information regarding my company that you needed to write the invoice are publicly available on my website. 

"Instead of responding to our messages, you have made threats regarding your SEO company's ability to defeat us. We want to make it clear that we are not interested in engaging in any battles. Our sole objective is to receive payment for the work we have completed."

That is not true. You threatened me with bad reviews and "Scam complaints", upon which I informed you about several mistakes in the invoice. Furthermore, I mentioned that it's not very professional to send threats regarding payments 2 days after the invoice was issued. Especially since the invoice is not containing all the necessary information for taxation, nor the full name of the beneficiary of the bank account owner to initiate the transfer. 
As a response to your threat of bad reviews, I responded: "And maybe reconsider if you want to do an online reputation battle against an SEO Agency. It's not a very smart move".
This is not a threat. It is a response to a threat.

"you have taken logins of our Google sheet and Hubstaff time tracker without any notice."

I have created the Google sheet and I pay for Hubstaff. Those are mine, not yours. I am at liberty to exclude you from my spreadsheets and tools at any time. Especially when you are taken off the project due to incompetence. 

Kind regards
