norman Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Yup, tell him to p155 off, he's trying it on with his mate at the BMW garage, what do you want one of those sheds for anyway.

breff Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Did you actually Sign anything??? I doubt it, so tell them to go take a long jump off a short pier. The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct! (Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rjbsec Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 this guy asked me to email him to confirm what colour etc i wanted, so i did, Probably not legally enforcible but depends what was said/written/documented in ANY form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 He's confirmed colour etc but has not entered into an agreement as he has not signed any order form, We could all ring/e-mail the dealer to confirm what we would like, but, as I say the guy is trying it on, take the evidence to the local Trading Standards and play him at his own game the tit.

mcelec Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 well i have contacted the bmw garage and they are adament that i must pay this charge regardless of me not having signed any paper work or the fact that i have never even heard of them as they are based in leeds, they have demanded payment within 7 days, got an appointment with cab on monday, contacted a solicitor and was told that it could cost me more in legal fees to fight it.. i feel like im being held at gun point because if i dont pay and they take legal action it will effect my credit rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
