Tired of excuses. Now cannot pay me back my deposit.

Unreliable, empty promises, cannot pay me back my deposit immediately, can only pay back on 6 March 2022. Not sure he is 100% honest about his whereabouts. Every time he has to start at my place, there is an excuse, does not respond to my messages, then he has a new phone, then the new phone breaks. After I paid my deposit he had to first attend to another client, then when he finished at this client, which was supposed to be a 2 day job, he claimed this his worker had Covid. In January, when he was supposed to start, he claims he was in Botswana. After realising that he also only responds when I post a comment on his FB page, I asked my deposit back. After my comment on his FB page, it page gets deleted.
