Wasn't it Conniff that first pointed out how as more details come out.......... Not only has Jo not posted the letter, she hasn't said why???

 

This stinks! (and be for you say a word UKAVITOR) This is a PUBLIC forum, were people express opinions. And my opinion of all this is "This stinks" and it would seam I'm not alone in my opinion.

I would kindly appreciate you not having a go at me or others on this forum.

 

I have come to this forum in order to ascertain whether my brothers friend is being ripped off with labour charges and all you lot seem to do at the moment is nitpick between yourself and insult my integrity. I have been a member of CAG for 10 months now and have never had so much aggression being directed at myself. Should this continue I will have this thread closed and will seek help elsewhere.

[Dont trust the banks]

Ok this thread seems to be getting a bit out of hand.

 

the facts as I know them.

 

1. The original owner of the van happens to be my brother.

2. He sold the van to a friend of his, but it did not have an MOT.

3. My brothers friend also purchased another van of a later model and was going to use the parts from this donor van to do up my brothers ex van in order to sell it and make a profit.

4. Brothers mate then went to the garage and agreed initially with the mechanic to use this donor van to do up my brothers ex van, but in the end decided against it, so therefore just wanted to get my brothers ex van an MOT. the donor van was then taken out of the equation.

5. The mechanic told my borthers friends wife verbally that it should cost approx £450 to £5oo and possibly even less. he was also told that they didn't want spend more than £500.00.

6.mechanic then did is stuff and produced an invoice for over £800.00.

7. My friend disputed this invoice.

8. mechanic then raised another invoice to cover admin costs of £300.00, and told them that he is going to keep the van in storage until the bill is settled, also charging them with the storage costs.

9. Prior to the van being MOT'd, the mechanic repaired some obvious MOT faliure points of which I do not know what they are.

 

Right......I'v just read that again and I would like every one involved in this thread to read it again, "my brothers ex van"... Now is that the one that was MOTed or the donor or the one that was going to be "dunn up"? :confused:

[Dont trust the banks]

Jo, I was compiling that as you were posting, Very bad timing on my part sorry.

 

Regards Banks.

[jowalshy]

I'm not sure what you are apologising for banks. yes it was my brother's ex-van that was MOT's.

 

THE DONOR VAN WAS SCRAPPED, FORGET IT, NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE DONOR VAN, THE DONOR VAN DOES NOT COME INTO THE EQUATION, I WAS TRYING TO GIVE A FULL PICTURE.

 

Also which letter do you want me to post?

[HSBCrusher]

Hello folks.

 

this thread has been brought to my attention... please keep to the topic concerned, thank you

[Dont trust the banks]

Hi Jo, I was apologizing for pointing out some thing that under close scrutiny falls apart, As for letters the most resent was the one I was thinking of but if you have access to all of them then start from the begining....... As far as I can work out, 1 of 2 things is going on hear, You are ever being riped off or you are trying it on?????.

 

From what I've read so far I'm not convinced - Convince me

 

Regards Banks.

[Dont trust the banks]

Fair point HSBCrusher...... I'm thinking about a new thread for the off topic "motor trade stuff", May be in the Bear (Beer) Garden????

[HSBCrusher]

I will set up such a thread in the BG, and move your stuff there

 

oh.... jo is not trying it on. Please take her word for what it is. Thank you

[Dont trust the banks]

Sorry fella but I'm not having that......Moderator or not.....

 

The only way you can make such a statement like that is by being in possession of material facts. As nothing has been proved so far Ifeel we should all keep an open mind to all possibility's. I appreciate Jo has been a member for some time and people have "got to know here" but do any of us actually know WHO our "on line" friends are????

 

I have based my opinions on what I have actually read in the post.

 

Regards Banks.

[midas..not]

id send the garage a bill for van rental.....

Bear Garden.

 

 

The Bear Garden, allegedly named by Queen Victoria after the crowds of litigants and lawyers there which reminded her of the occupants of a bear pit, the Painted Room and West Green Building Court Lobby are further smaller areas available for hire in this grandiose building.

 

 

The Royal Courts of Justice Venue, London, WC2

[Hammy1962]

That's torn it, fun stops here folk's. Someone, prob'ly Coniff, has reported us to the authorities

 

Mod's involved. Got to get all serious agian even if the tale is getting a bit far fetched.

 

I don't think I've posted anything not relevent to the plot...................

 

Censorship awaits.

[HSBCrusher]

After 10 months of rubbing shoulders with jo, I think I know her quite well enough.

She has given the best knowledge she has to try and unravel what has happened for a pal of hers.

Please can this thread be used to help jo out, any further agressive posts will be removed.

I have set up a motoring trade bear garden thread for your use.

[Dont trust the banks]

id send the garage a bill for van rental.....

 

1, They will just say, Fi you had paid your bill........

2, As the van was being moted to sell it what would be the point of hiring one?

word for word please jo kind regards.

[Hammy1962]

A scan would be better, not that I'm suggesting anything.

 

Hammy

[Dont trust the banks]

Well a scan would be a lot quicker. I trust it would be no more accurate.

 

Regards Banks.

[setmefree]

Wasn't it Conniff that first pointed out how as more details come out.......... Not only has Jo not posted the letter, she hasn't said why???

(so Jo hasn't posted the letter,what's the big deal,and why should she have to explain herself to you:confused:)

 

This stinks! (and be for you say a word UKAVITOR)(yes this is a public forum ukaviator,but as you have been told,before you say a word..pot kettle black)This is a PUBLIC forum, were people express opinions. And my opinion of all this is "This stinks" and it would seam I'm not alone in my opinion.

 

 

Regards Banks

 

 

Jo started a thread for a little bit of advice,not to be questioned such as above.

[setmefree]

1, They will just say, Fi you had paid your bill........

2, As the van was being moted to sell it what would be the point of hiring one?

 

Regards Banks.

In answer to question (2),perhaps a xmas tree was pre planned to be picked up which was too big to fit in a car,so hiring a van to fulfill commitments i guess would be appropriate .

[setmefree]

A scan would be better, not that I'm suggesting anything.

 

Hammy

 

If your not suggesting anything then a typed explanation would be appropriate.

[setmefree]

Well a scan would be a lot quicker. I trust it would be no more accurate.

 

Regards Banks.

 

Jo has said she will type it for you,so no reason to suggest any other methods.

After all you have said it would be no more accurate.
