Dirty barry

Judge made a reference to me not test driving but I said I took the consumer for his word . Doesn’t give the excuse to breach legislation. Also it’s the sale of goods act because it’s trade against consumer. Consumers excuse was he couldn’t remember any reference to gear box judge didn’t believe him. Also it’s proof buy probability in civil case not reasonable doubt so easier to get the fair verdict .. worst case scenario I lost £300 and two hours in court. Made him sweat for 3 months no doubt !!! Not been paid yet. Was awarded £1600 but will pay that again to enforce. Wasn’t about the money This guy befriended me then shafted me. I’m only a small garage and quite frankly I’m sick to death of dishonest consumers!!! Start fighting back guys

It’s the main reason there are so many faulty vehicles out there. Rogue consumers part exchanging a known faulty vehicle

I have just successfully taken a customer to small claims court over a faulty gearbox on his part ex!!! REJOICE !!! I had NOT test driven the camper but because I had specifically asked him about the condition of the gearbox he had breached the sale of goods act 1979 The legal jargon is IMPLIED TERM which results in a misdescription. This will also work for the old favourites like I’ll drop the full history in or spare key !!I had a witness who heard the conversation and had a report from gearbox expert. Even better if you can get the customer to fill out form saying gearbox good electrics good brakes etc. The facts are if you take the right action quickly they cannot stitch you up with a faulty motor and walk away !!! Start fighting back guys !!! Ring your local trading standards get ccj on line and go from there. Send everything recorded delivery and take expert witness if you can. I didn’t but still won !!! It will cost you about £300 !!! If I can do it anyone can !!! What have you got to lose ???Stop the biggest liars and cheats out there The Consumer !!!! Good luck!!!
