Message from client :
Gaston, I know you read your emails, and you have online connections when you want, and you give me lots of excuses about connection problems for almost a month. Now that you have connection established, what else seems to be the problem? I cannot work like this. Even I gave you the $1900.00 in advance, and haven’t seen enough work to justify that money already paid to you. What’s the most frustrating is that you’ve made me wait until now, March, more than 3 months now and not even close to being done.
I have no choice but to go to FreelancerSite.com **(URL not shown due to the client’s request)** and cancel the programmer and reactivate this project. I need to find another programmer at this point, as it seems you are either telling me the truth, but have too many problems with the internet, or you are just hiding something from and and not honest with me from the beginning. Either way, I cannot work like this. I will only state on the review what is true and not go beyond that, and maybe, if you choose, you can work together with my new programmer, and maybe that will get things done a little faster. I just cannot keep going through this. Do not blame me for this decision. I’ve tolerated more than enough.
Message from Gaston Gorosterrazu :
Sorry, just coming from Buenos Aires on a trip that should have been for a few hours and turned to be for two days, but enough of excuses. Bottom line: You’re right, this year has started extremelly bad for me and can’t keep up with the work, at least at the pace we had in the first month, while I do feel there’s not much to be done to reach a working state, I would not choose me to finish because we had 1 month of good work and fast development and 2 months of mainly excuses.
Work/Money: I do think the 1900 have been covered with the work done so far, but of course, you don’t have to share that point of view, I would love to be able to give you a full refund right now, but the truth is I can’t as my trip to capital city was for a debt I was unaware from a bad partnership I had 8 years ago, and now it turns to be that I’m owing 20k to a bank, so, I would propose to even wait for a few months until I’m recovered and give you a refund or help your new programmer to keep things up until you feel I’ve paid my debt.
Well, again, I’m sorry you had to know me in my worse time ever, I hope everything keeps going good with your site. Gaston
