  1. I received a letter which was from my mortgage company, on the back of this letter was someone elses reposession details!!! surely this is a breach of data protection Should I a) contact the MOrtgage company to advise them of their error? b) contact the other person on the letter and let then know i have this document? Any advise welcomed when requesting my CCA documents I have also received someone elses CCA Document!!!! This must be a breach of data protection
  2. Hi guys, thanks for all the responses I've sent the response that was suggested and he said he would see me in court but (hoping not to speak too soon) I've heard nothing yet
  3. the pristine reference is to the rear seats he asked what the interior was like i said the rear seats had hardly been used and were almost pristine ie no marks or tears. He did also ask me about the fault on th car and i said it usually starts after a couple of tries, which it did when i had it.
  4. See Below the 3 responses i received from him Dear XXXXXX I thank you for your prompt reply, and your refusal to accept that you deceived me and other ebay users. I can not take this matter further. yours ps does deceit come into this caveat emptor ruling? maybe you should look up the word pristine. seems you know your latin but not your english. and i think im entitled to reply to your query that you found it strange that i found your posting to the forum (im pleased you've admitted it was you, saves me allot of investigation). the reason i looked and enquired on the internet was to try and resolve the problem and find out if it was a common thing with this model/make as id only driven the car home after buying from you and it would not restart after leaving for five minutes and you would not answer your telephone or reply to my texts, that in my opinion is guilt on your part knowing you had deceived me. hi sorry the email i sent to you at 18.16 on the 8/6/2009 should have read "i can NOW take this matter further". should i be worried?
  5. I have contacted ebay and thay have said they do not get involved in individual disputes. But they did say that i was in the right for disclosing the fault
  6. Thanks guys, I've sent him an email saying that i intend to defend any claim he puts in and we'll see what happens next
  7. so what do i need to do about his threats to take me to court?
  8. He paid in cash. He paid after the auction ended, he came to collect the car and inspected it for about 15-20 mins, and he started and stopped the car 5-6 times. we signed the documents over then he paid
  9. Hi everyone, I'm in need of a bit of advice, I listed my car on ebay with the following description " 2001 Vauxhall Vectra Estate in Silver this is a 1.8l petrol model which means it's quite ecconomical to drive 88,000 Electric front windows, CD player, power steering, ABS, Adjustable seats, Adjustable steering column/wheel, Driver airbag, the bodywork on the car in is good condition for its age. The car has 3 months Tax and 5 months MOT left. I believe in being completely honest and disclosing all minor problems the car has an intermittent immobiliser fault which shouldn't be too hard to rectify this means that the car will sometimes take a couple of trys to get it started. And the light is on for the brake pads but i have had the car checked at vauxhall and the brakes are fine there is a fault with the sensor (common problem)." The description acknowledges that there is a fault with the car. The buyer did not inspect the car before bidding on it the end of the auction, the buyer started and stopped the car half a dozen times before driving it off. 1 week later i begin to get messages from him that he is not happy with the car and wanted a refund. I refused his request. The buyer then sent me an email with the following post which i had submitted to a forum"Mon 23 Feb 09 21:58 01 1.8 intermittent starting fault - [EDIT] I'm having a nightmare with my vectra it has an intermittent fault on starting, sometimes it will start no problem othertimes it will turn over then flash up the car spanner light indicating an immobiliser fault i've had the imobiliser ecu changed but it is no better. When my brother uses the car there doesn't seem to be a problem when i use it it leaves me stranded in all sorts of places refusing to start. The only suggections that i've had suggest changing the ECU, but i have also been told that you cannot fit a second hand unit. Any suggestions welcomed. Thanks Hayley Last edited by: Pugugly on Mon 23 Feb 09 at 22:52 [EDIT] Tue 24 Feb 09 09:42 01 1.8 intermittent starting fault - [EDIT] >> When my brother uses the car .... Are you both using the same key, or do you both have your own? If the latter, try using your brothers key to see if the fault still occurs. [EDIT] Tue 24 Feb 09 14:41 01 1.8 intermittent starting fault - [EDIT] we've tried both keys, and now are just using the one key but there is no improvement sometimes it starts fine other times it will start run for a couple of seconds and other times just turn over and not fire up ie immobiliser problem. Its so unreliable and frustrating it's killing me [EDIT} I replied to him with details from the email i had sent to ebay regarding the matter and said that i had not misdescribed the car and it was sold with a fault. His latest reply threatens court action "I too have sought advice from two solicitors that i do works for and shown them your listing and your plea to the technical forum and they agree with me that your listing on ebay was not honest and was contradictory to the plea you posted. your listing should have mentioned the fact that when the car is warmed up there is no way it will start again till its cooled down. and that its a £750 repair bill using vauxhall parts or a £400 repair bill using a full ecu replacement from ebay. this in my opinion is an uneconomical repair given the state of the vehicle and im sure you looked at the avenues of repair before placing the car on ebay and in my opinion that is dishonest and deceitful of you to place the item on ebay without giving the potential buyer the full facts, starting the car several times when cold as i did would not affect or bring the problem to light as the car needs to be warmed before the problem occurs, which im sure you knew that, as you had owned the car for a few months before placing on ebay. i could see by the state and dirt and bird excrement on the vehicle that you had not used it for some time, this suggests to me that you had had enough of it and decided to deceive an ebay buyer. I can now go ahead and take this matter further which i fully intend to do so unless you take the vehicle back or make a contribution to the repair. if i have to appear in court i will request that you take the vehicle back and compensate me for loss of earnings and whatever other expenses i have (court fees etc.)." Please help I'm sure i'm in the right as i declared there was a problem, he bid on the car knowing this and if he was unsure about it he should not have bid in the first place. The car sold for £820 which is 50% of what it would have been worth with no fault which i feel is more than enough compensation for it's problems. Thanks
