No worries, it's kinda my day job. I'm a credit manager at work so need to investigate certain people that "disappear" I could possibly obtain a trace on the fella, but seeing there activity around him that may not be required. The company name is not listed at the Irish Companies house, neither is he a director of any other businesses. I just wish you good luck, especially if you wish to take action via a small claims court which will be costly due to his business being in Ireland.
Glad to help though. That's what this forum is all about.
