Anton Montoya - Vagabond Creative Did not complete or even start website that I paid him for TX Internet

On May 15, 2013 I hired Anton Montoya at Vagabond Creative to design a website for me. I paid him $482 through his website. The invoice from Vagabond Creative I received said the project would be completed within 2-3 weeks. I sent all the information and files he needed right away. He rarely responded to my emails and voice mails. He kept giving me excuse after excuse why it was not getting done. Finally he just stopped answering my calls and emails. I needed my website completed so I hired someone else to do it. I repeatedly sent emails and left voice mails asking Vagabond Creative for a full refund. On March 22, 2014, he actually answered the phone. He gave me yet another excuse and promised to refund my money within a week.

A week later I did not receive my refund so I called and left a voice mail. I have been calling once a week and he will not answer the phone or return my voice mails. I filed a complaint with the BBB and he did not respond so they couldn't do anything to help me. On December 2, 2014, I contacted a collection agency. They had trouble contacting him, and when the finally did weeks later, he told them that he had given me a refund. They called me, and I told them that I couldn't believe they believed him because they knew the whole story. Since then, I still have not received a refund and the collection agency has not been able to contact him.
