Legal advice please – cancelling a new car dispute

Some shops now charge you to try on stuff you don’t buy.

Really? which ones?

It is illegal though (If Crankboy is correct above)

Unsure why you quoted me and highlighted a word.
Was I not clear enough in what I wrote ?

(Which has since been confirmed by curto)

don’t promise to do stuff you’re not sure you can do.

Like send somebody an invoice for £500 + VAT?

Indeed, and I expressed my view on that some pages back. Ling clearly isn’t going to be going to court for that, and it was wrong to say it.

I’m not seeing any dispute about that.

Fancy Dress hire shops for one.

Really? You go into a fancy dress shop & say I’d like to try on the maid’s uniform please & they say: “Certainly sir, that’ll be a fiver”

Depends.

Probably not if it’s for 5 minutes but if it’s for a couple of days they’ll want paying.

Unless you are Mr Benn in which case all bets are off.

It’s also been my experience that “trying on the maid’s uniform” costs considerably more than a fiver.

No wonder Mr Benn’s not on any more. Although some of those adventures were worth £5 (+ VAT) of anyone’s money. Even when the £ had some value to it

Unsure why you quoted me and highlighted a word.

I highlighted the word if because if is a big word that changes the contextt of a sentence and, as crankboy has pointed out, this isn’t his area of expertise – although he is doubtless more expert than I am. And it helps keep the fun going

From the parallel Facebook argument…

Ah its not geordiemick00 again is it? Apparently hes well known round Gateshead for ordering things then cancelling. Even Greggs wont serve him now. Someone told me his eyes are bigger than this wallet. We used to call them timewasters/dreamers. Sad really. I kind of feel sorry for the lad.

🙂

Has anyone seen a gift list for the wedding yet??
I sent a card and cheque for £500.00, but have since been to the bank and cancelled the cheque and moved my money to another account. Is this sufficient to swerve actually paying

Think they just want money to put towards a car 😆

Yay! Finally got to the end of this thread, its been rolling quicker than bob marley at a party on Saturday night. This has been my entertainment for the last 2 days (work taking up precious reading time and another 5+ pages when i get back to it). Although IANAL i think with whats been said by both sides on here would have any lawyer rubbing his hands with glee over this case. I agree with the 14 day cooling off stage for what its worth and think its pretty shady of ling to ask £500+ for… (actually i dont know what its for anymore) although the OP is also wrong to say they will pay said ‘fine’ then back out. That website is a true reflection of what web designers can do on a ton of acid. Lets keep this thread going by taking it in turns to back out of buying a car off ling,

There’s a parallel Facebook argument

So who on here is Glen?

She needs the £500 +VAT to go towards inventing a new colour to add to those already on her website. I’m struggling (ha ha) to think of anything else unless emails or paper have suddenly had a HUGE price increase.

I’m also genuinely interested in how many of you would actually part with £500 +VAT if you cancelled something within a preset cancellation period and without being told what said cash sum was for. I know I **** wouldn’t, but then again I’m honest enough not to pretend I would on teh internez

Sweet baby unicorn’s, this is still going! I think I was on page 25-ish before leaving for work type stuff this morning.

Any chance of a quick summary of the days’ insults and character assasinations please? No need to include any of the boring legalities, unless of course they spur the aforementioned.

TIA

Ling is adamant a 14 day cooling off period doesn’t apply to her….. She’s backed by Gateshead Trading Standards remember, who when approached to confirm this gave a firm 🙄

I can’t speak for the person who signed the form, however, day to day he is surrounded by lawyers in his work, so maybe he knows enough about the law to realise that such loosely termed nonsense on the order form that has absolutely no links to any company T’s & C’s and no specific amount was probably made up by someone who doesn’t work for Gateshead Trading Standards and actually is a cleaner at Gateshead Primary School and he a) didn’t think it would be cancelled due to the fact at the time of ordering we had no plans to cancel and b) thought that if we had to then it would have been in a well documented cooling off period covered by fairly common distance selling rules that apply to pretty much everybody, except Ling, in her mind.

As the car (to her own admission) was never ordered then she doesn’t really have any real loss. Her loss is the same as mine and SC’s which is the loss of time discussing which stock cars where available and the time spent on here establishing that her process is back to front, she has a total disregard for data protection and how she handles sensitive data and after the phone call that’s just been had with the FCA, very little respect for the FCA code of conduct.

With regards to the website then I’m with Ling on that one, it is amazing…. I can’t take that away from her (apart from a huge lack in T’s & C’s stating any cancellation process whatsoever..

Now she is stalking my bestie/BIL/proposer on LinkedIn and basically trying to satisfy her crazy self obsessed notion that he has applied for finance illegally, then it’s time to bring this to a close because quite frankly her accusations are libellous, incorrect and her conduct is falling way short of the FCA’s code of conduct. He has now taken legal advice based on the screen dumps of everything on here and this is going to get quite snotty now.

I can take all the snotty, judgemental comments in the world on here, people have obviously cottoned on i’m a loser who has a history of backing out of things, so fill your boots, it blows right over my head *most of the time*

He on the other hand, has no active part on this forum, has filled in documentation she has requested using his own information and acted completely within the boundaries of the law and her website yet he is being touted as a joker who has fraudulently tried to obtain a vehicle and lied lied lied. And now she’s sniffing round his LinkedIn profile (obviously trying to verify his work info) then that takes shit to a whole new level, so its time for that to be nipped in the bud.

So not only are Trading Standards, FCA (awaiting a response on IC), my mate is too.

Meanwhile I may fill my time looking out for some other people who’ve had incorrectly applied ‘fines’ from her for backing out… Could be a nice little earner.

over and out.

Trust.

That’s the work I was looking for.

There are some folk you can trust.

And there are others who will back out of something unless you’ve tied it up in some watertight legalese.

That’s the work I was looking for.

You mean word surely??

Obviously you’re the person Ling employed to write her contract…

£10,500 of finance over 2 years isn’t something to duck out of lightly…

But thanks for your useful contribution

There’s a parallel Facebook argument

Yes, although a mere 30 odd posts. But some amusing comments nonetheless.

Diminishing returns after 1k posts.

I think we need some more input from Ling to liven things up again on this thread. Some of her responses yesterday had me laughing.

I need something to keep me occupied over the weekend 🙂

Ding-a-Ling where are you ?

Thing is on her own Facebook page she’ll not be challenged….

Thanks Jamie, I’ll take that.

Thing is on her own Facebook page she’ll not be challenged….

Not surprising. Even on here she never answered most specific questions asked.

32 pages still no closer to resolving the issue.

Will someone please think of the children.

I don’t think ling will hire cars to them.

Pleased someone other than me noticed. Tad pathetic attempt to avoid the real issues in her processes and procedures by making ridiculous accusations.

I’m guessing she’s gone quiet cos she’s got an emergency appointment at Gateshead Trading Standards to ask why they didn’t draw up her fag packet contract properly

Using your legally allowed cooling off period to cancel, isn’t something I would consider as an action that would cause any loss of trust.

Perfectly acceptable behaviour.

I don’t think ling will hire cars to them.

No – they’d need someone, a best friend or a brother in law for example, to sign up on their behalf is what this thread has taught us (if nothing else) 😆

even after all this i’m distraught Ling hasn’t spoke to me like this chap 😆

Maybe we have a future after all…

Loving the hubris on display here

Link broken by swear filter ?

Ace.
Reading this thread from start to finish has now left me with adverts for borderline illegal loan companies/sharks and crappy stack em high, sell em cheap car warehouses.

Thankfully all in the UK.

And watches for some reason.

Anyone for a chuck berry song?

Edit: Glad to see the see you next Tuesday post taken down 😯

I side with ling in the see you next Tuesday thread on her Facebook that guy was plain rude and stupid.

Jaysus. How is this still going?

<Heads off to catch up>

Now she is stalking my bestie/BIL/proposer on LinkedIn

You mean ling ding.

Seriously though, I’m spent. Please make it stop.

I’ve just skipped from p19 to here, I can’t take anymore of it monopolising my time, I’ve been trying to read the paper and watch quest all day as I’ve been off sick. Have I missed anything?
