Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I will keep the details as brief as I can. I bought a van for the start of my business in March. It was defective and I had to reject it, to do this I had to use the services of a solicitor. I did not get the replacement vehicle until July. I asked for a courtesy car and they would not provide one, I could not afford a hire van as all my cash was tied up in the rejected vehicle.
As a result I lost three months earnings and missed the time critical phase of March for the start up of my business as a Garden Services business. How do I go about starting a small claims process? From my limited experience I understand that I have to explore other options first, but I am a bit lost as to what this means.
I dont think you will be succesful if you are going to claim for lost business and earnings unless the purchase of the vehicle is linked by way of the terms of the contract otherwse we would all be doing it.
Hello Harry, I'm afraid I have to agree with raydetinu on this. Most vehicle sales contracts will exclude consequential losses.
Can you imagine what kind of claims they would be leaving themselves liable to otherwise?
It may be worth approaching the dealer in a friendly manner to see how they react but if you needed to use a solicitor already I think this is probably a lost cause - Sorry.
