Hi everyone!
I'm haveing a very dificult situation ahead of me with an old customer of mine.
I've made this customer a website around two years ago, and put a countdown plugin on the CMS that automaticly reverts the site to maintanence mode. The reason to why I did that, was because, the customer hadn't payed the last an update I made just 2-3 weeks after I've finished the site.
I must add, that I was at the time still trying to learn how to deal with websites and francly needed the money. I got paied under the table.
According to the Google Analytics, he only had 200+ visits during the whole year last year. And has had 63 visits until the site went down. I didn't get any e-mail about it, because I did not know how to make that happen with that perticular plugin for that CMS.
Now the customers wants me to redesign and make his website successful for free and though that payoff the aledges moneyloss.
Thanks in advance!

please rephrase and clarify:
"...make his website successful for free and though that payoff the aledges moneyloss."
and
"...if it every was going to get to court. I've done some misstakes with this whole thing aswell, but they are not sevear in my oppinion."

If they didn't pay, they never owned it. You can do what you want with your own product. They want to go to court, ask them to show proof of payment to you, otherwise its just a delinquent account and you reposed it. Law may never that black and white, however, that is where I would start. Call their bluff, as I bet that is all it is.

As for monies lost as a result of the site going down, it's their burden of proof to show the site even generates income. Stating something and proving something is a court of law is miles apart.

can you switch modes so that the site returns or install the a back of the site? If they never paid you fuck'em.
