Legal advice please – cancelling a new car dispute

Well that’s 30 minutes of my life I’m not getting back. I should charge for my time reading it, where do I send my invoice for £500 +vat?

So we’ve had racism and homophobia from a poster and they’ve not been banned? Brexit voter too, what a lovely person they must be the ****.

Would you help a friend get heavily into debt buying a car the clearly can’t afford ?? I wouldn’t

What about your brother in law?

She does have something rather charismatic about her though – like Trump or Farage…

What’s seen as a ethically reprehensible by one may well be seen as an opportunity by another. Tory

FTFY

Judging by past posts on here, unfortunately Mick just seems like one of those people who’ll always get themselves into sticky situations. Everyone knows one, the heart on the sleeve types. Maybe this thread’ll serve as a warning to companies who get contacted by a Geordie Mick who wants to do business 😉

Whoever you have a signed contract with which allows you to charge them unspecified amounts for your incurred costs…

Egg and pasta in your last posts Jamie. Is it dinner time?

Read the posts, as of next month I’m on a £4K a month contract. The car was ordered by BIL to coincide with funds being available.

The reason for cancelling is because I have concerns it may be delayed.

If he wants to finance it in his name that’s his business and he knows the risks, his choice.

This thread is still giving I see.

I thought STW was crammed with IT middle management, but most of them seem to have a side line in legal expertise. If we can get a few to understand bikes as well this place would be even better

Did they give you 14 days notice before backing out?

**** me. Your concern for outcomes for others in your extended family seems to go as far as for suppliers too. i.e. not very far.

Who would pick up the tab if the £4k/MTH contract ended?

Sorry…

I just wanted everyone to know how important that question is.

At least she isn’t an estate agent.

Oh I don’t know, old chap, I’d still buy a car through Ling after all this. It’s Geordie Mick in ‘sales’ I probably wouldn’t buy anything from; with his ethical ‘problems’.

Yup. I reckon if I ordered a car from Ling’s Cars there’s a strong chance I’d get a car. If I sold a car to the OP/OP’s mate there’s a strong chance I’d get arsed around.

Just because something’s legal doesn’t mean it’s right.

That’s shit, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll set up a crowdfunding page.

Watch who you pledge your exigencies to in life I say.

Yeah, it doesn’t really roll off the tongue though does it?

I’ll chose curto, for trying to make proper, legal, sense of this mess.

I work with someone similar to the op, in that she is forever trying to find technical details with which to get out of agreements/contracts (phones, credit cards, loan terms, car leases etc) she’s signed up for but can’t really afford. it’s painful to watch/listen to her basically systematically go through every possible angle and eventually, if required, threatening a social media backlash and/or legal action. Invariably the company backs down and gives her a better deal or cancels the agreement. I despise her and the OP appears to fall into a similar category.

Hopefully ling has encouraged the OP to think a bit more carefully about any future deals he makes, so as to be sure it’s what he really wants…

If he wants to finance it in his name that’s his business and he knows the risks, his choice.

😯 or maybe not. You’d drop him in a heart beat if you’d got the car then fell on hard times in a year or so, wouldn’t you? He knew the risks after all…

That’s shit, I’m sorry to hear that. I’ll set up a crowdfunding page.

Low. Very low. As low as the floor.

Sad way to end your contribution poopscoop. That last post was really pathetic.

The reason for cancelling is because I have concerns it may be delayed.

Oh, I thought it was because you were getting a company car?

Read to page 4 and had enough, ling seems a real aggressive arse and find it hard to believe people will stick up for anyone with such an attitude.

I’ve missed pages 3-17 and can’t be arsed to read it all

Who’s winning?

Can this be turned into a gritty ITV drama series please? Starring…?

Wow. Quite… er…. wow.

hard to believe people will stick up for anyone with such an attitude.

Ling does have a certain way with words, but if the OP wasn’t a serial chancer who **** people over and thinks it’s ok, he wouldn’t even be in this situation. He needs to knuckle down, pay his own debts off, stop living beyond his means and messing people round. Do all those things and he won’t face the wrath of people like Ling. Simple really.

The thing is though, as much of a chancer as the OP might be, he’s still on the right side of consumer law, whereas ling is trying to play dodgy games with that.

Low. Very low. As low as the floor.

Laminate or engineered?

Funnily enough I’ve just cooked some eggs.

Ling gone berry ?

Just for the record here guys.
People that stuck up for Ling were standing up for a person that owns illegal e bikes, boasts about her disdain for cyclists on the road and has views on immigration I know many on here would find repugnant.

Probably drives over baby robins too. I’ll stick up for who I want to, thanks very much.

I want to say a genuine thank you to everyone on this thread. Today has been quite stressful and the bat shit insanity of this has kept me entertained.

Glad to help. Give the missus our love.

Wow what thread. I thought this would eclipse Picolax.

Sadly it seems to me that after 18 pages the OP and business owner are just trying to run lings round each other.

IGMC.

Hope you’re all hanging in there, P.

I thought it because his business partner pulled out?

Not sure about that, OP was going back into paye employment 6 months ago…

Hands up all of those out of pocket because of the actions of the OP?*

*not those who’ve wasted an afternoon of their employers time reading this.

Just like to thank Ling for a great read,youre my new found internet battler, as for the website, works great for me, a lot different to the corporate crappy ones, bright and colourful with some humour.

I’ve had to recharge my phone during the day for the first time ever due to these shenanigans!

You’ll have to ask everyone who subsequently buys a car from Ling and doesn’t get as good a deal as she’s having to cover the costs of cancelled orders.

Wow! Indeed.

Certainly, for those who CBA to read it all, my view is that the OP, his bessie/BIL and poopscoop need help and a few others not quite so much help but their all for one, one for all code just a tad trite. What I am a little concerned about is my finding ling strangely attractive and at one point wondering whether to put together a pre-nup before popping the question…
