Car mechanic problems!

[Conniff]

It would help if you gave us a few more details of the problems you encountered and why you took it elsewhere ?

 

 

S75 is not as simple as submitting a claim and the money returned, they do contact the other person and get their side of the story.

Also the card provider is more than likely to give you false and / or misinformation in the hope you will believe you don't have a claim or you've run out of time etc.

 

 

What do you have in the way of hardcopy to prove what you asked for and he quoted ?

If you have proper written bills from the second garage that you can use as proof he did not act in a professional manner, then yes, go ahead with the S75. As I said earlier, expect some grief from the bank as they don't like doing it, but stand firm.

[Conniff]

First, are you ready to make the claim, ie, do you have all your paperwork together and does it show that the first garage made a bodge of it all ?

 

 

Are you claiming back the full amount, and if so, are there any parts on the car that the first garage supplied ?

[Conniff]

That is fine. Do you required guidance on making your claim ? If so I will move you to the legal section.

[Conniff]

Moved and flagged up for assistance.

Original text edited out as answered by your attachment.

 

The maf and software update were done at the BMW dealer?, were they both done at the same time ?

 

Also, you say "Upon picking the car up, I did a quick test to see if the sensors worked-they were still not working. I paid in full"

 

Why on earth would anyone pay for work not completed or carried out ?

[Conniff]

Can you just clear up a couple of things. When you say 'merchant' are you refering to the repair garage ?

 

How much did you pay and how much do you want back ?

[Conniff]

You will need detailed bills from the original garage of all work disputed. You will also need a detailed bill from the correcting garage.

This will be required as you can't just submit a claim for the return of monies paid unless you can prove that it is genuinely owed to you by poor professionalism and workmanship.

 

Even harder will be proving that you lost money from your trade because the car was in the second garage. Bills for taxi, bus fares, insurance etc mean absolutely nothing unless you can show that they were as a direct result of the first garage.

 

Similarly you will have to show without any doubt, that you lost sales because the car was in the garage, that customers who were coming to you went elsewhere and bought their parts. How can you show that?

 

Also I think that will be practically impossible as your claim includes insurance for a replacement car to use while yours was in the garage, why didn't you use that car, unless the insurance certificate didn't show for business use, then the intention will have been to use it was social domestic and pleasure and couldn't be used to deliver parts without breaking the law.

 

S75 and chargebacks are used to recover monies when a service or goods hasn't been received. No bank will entertain a claim for consequential losses.

 

If you want to take this further, you must get together all the paperwork that shows beyond doubt that you never received goods or services that you paid for.

Any updates on what ??

[Conniff]

If you have all the paperwork together in chronological order so that it is apparent by date and time when things happened, what was said and what did or did not happen plus the amount and why you are claiming that amount, then get your claim in, there is no point in hanging on.

Saying 'can't be bothered to go to court' isn't the right attitude. If you lose this, it will be because you didn't attend and I can't see you getting much sympathy.

[Conniff]

Yes, I saw it and that bit shouldn't even pass through your mind. Attending is secondary "but if it comes to that". You should be keen to go especially if you think you have a good case and will win. Seeing the look on their faces when they lose will be something worth capturing and is the biggest part of the pleasure of winning.

[Conniff]

It means that if you have a lot of people with the same problem with a company/product etc;

instead of you all taking turns to go to court individually,

one person can go representing all of you.

 

Neat Huh!

[Conniff]

I thought Logic was ' inference' and fact an 'actuality'. I can't see how you can have both in the same sentence.

[Conniff]

Did he actually use the word 'Slander' ???

[Conniff]

Ah right. Libel is the written word, and if everything you have posted here can be proved then no problem and he is trying to frighten you. Besides, it takes a very rich person to bring a libel case.

[Conniff]

Opinion isn't truth. But if they have been removed then no problem.

 

The site gets threats every now and then from companies who don't like what is being said about them as they know this is usually the first site to come up in google when something in it is searched for so he will know that it will be read a lot.

[Conniff]

Ok, give him the benefit of the doubt if it's by cheque and post, but if it's not arrived on Monday get right back and have a talk with the bailiffs.

[Conniff]

even if I was lied to about who was doing the work??

 

You are starting to complicated things now. The answer is as Liverpoolluke has said, whoever you sued is the one to chase.

If the business has wrapped up, you will have to find if there is an administrator or liquidator and apply to them.

I very much doubt it as a lot of garages are fly by night and just wrap their hand in at the first sign of trouble and start again

under a new name.

 

What is the name of this Ltd company ??

[Conniff]

if you have successfully sued and be awarded an amount from Mr A's Company LTD then it is only Mr A's Company LTD that has been ordered to pay, you could only ask bailiffs to act upon Mr A's Company LTD I don't think you could further sue Mr A as the matter has already be dealt with

 

You have been given the answer a few times and I've quoted liverpoolluke post to repeat your 'only' course of action.

[Conniff]

You're not getting this. You took a car to a garage for repair but are not happy with that repair so want a refund. The garage refuses so you take the garage to court.

 

On the court papers you issue it says xxx garage ltd. The court agrees with you and orders xxx garage ltd to repay you.

So far xxx garage ltd hasn't obeyed the court and repaid you, so you send in bailiffs to xxx garage ltd the name on the court suite you issued and the name the court ordered to repay you.

 

I can't see your problem.

[Conniff]

You said it had been to court and a judgement given. That says it hasn't been to court and judgement been made.

 

A sole trader means he is the only owner so can keep all the profits himself.

[Conniff]

It doesn't matter about any letter, can you scan and post here the court judgement as given to you on court paper ??

[Conniff]

I suggest you write or phone them asap and find out what is happening.
