Studio Groups Taking Advantage of Girls

[Trinity-Belle]

I would say he is almost certainly bluffing... and more importantly, there is a concept in English law of an "unfair contract" which is meant to protect people from underhanded and unscrupulous behaviour like this.

Legally, I think he is on very dodgy ground. If you can substantiate your claims that he has behaved this way, then he is "controlling" you, which is pimping, which is illegal. Simple as that really.

It is likely that the cost of taking you to court is probably more than he could possibly hope to recoup, so he just won't bother... especially knowing what dodgy ground he is on. He could only take you to "small claims" because the amount of money involved is so trivial (in the grand scheme of things) and because of that, a "no costs" policy usually applies... which basically means that he is unlikely to be able to claim against you for the cost of bringing the case even if he wins. The judge can award costs, but in reality they rarely do, and even when they do it tends to be in the hundreds of pounds rather than the thousands... probably less than you will save by ditching him!

Personally, I very much doubt that the contract is worth the paper it is written on... most especially if he is not paying out to promote your profile.

My advice would be.... if you ditch him, tell AW what you are doing and why, set up a new profile and ask them to close your old one. Be up front with AW and they will help you... try to deceive them and they will come down on you like a ton of bricks. I am sure they will be very interested to hear about how he operates.
