slander

No, it is only slander is only if its not true..If its true and you can prove it it isn't classed as slander...in a song or not! but I don't picture you as much of a singer Tom?? :lol:
 
Well then I can't wait for the AGM to hear you belt out a few tunes...
Ah, a plackard (Sign :icon_redface:) Nope, still not slander once its true. All you are doing is advertising a fact, its perfectly legal (Just be sure its true). I assume its a money related issue...somebody not paying up!?
 
yep my old car whitch i had for sale turns out to be crashed so after exhausting all avenues i can think of with the dealer im going with a 5 ft sing to his garage tomorrow to spread some christmas cheer :icon_grin: :boohoo:
 
Best of luck Tom :thumbsup: As I said, just make sure every word is the truth otherwise you're the one in trouble...Happy Christmas!
 
at first when i brought the car back to him he said the car was perfect :boohoo: :boohoo: he even rang the previous owner in frount of me (whitch i couldnt hear) so i told him i was going to get the car inspected, next time i call in he mysteriously admits that the car was crashed they also done some work on it in there own garage, i always ask was a car crashed, recieve paint etc when buying, the sales man was addiment it as perfect the car even had that nissan gold standerd :ponder2: so fook him im not going to take the hit on it when i tried to trade in at another garage thats when it was discovered and they offered me 2,500 for it. its a 05 almeara
 
Nissan Gold Standard me arse! There is no such thing, ask anyone who has worked in a Nissan Dealership/Garage. Scoobydel used to and he said its all lies, the 57 point or whatever check they do is a load of crap too! I'd get onto Consumer Rights about it too...see where exactly you stand!? Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Thats crap alrite, is there not some act or law about goods bein sold bein as stated

otherwise the seller is misleading the customer. Feckin cowboys!

I hope the spelling on your sign is better than on here or nobody will know what you're talking about :icon_grin: :wink:
 
You definitely have a come back there under the sale of goods and supply of services act 1980.

* of merchantable quality
* fit for its normal purpose, and reasonably durable
* as described, whether the description is part of the advertising or wrapping, on a label, or something said by the salesperson.
 
If any of the above are breached you are entitled to a:

Repair,
Refund Or
Exchange.

Its between the two of you to decide which ya pick.

i suppose it serves me right for buying a nissan in the first place :subaru:
 
Hello Copperhead,

First of all I am sorry to hear you have been miss-sold a car in "damage repaired" condition, without you knowing :doh:

If you have been sold a car by a car dealer registered with the SIMI and it turns out that they have lied or have hidden the truth with regards to the condition during the sale process....you have two avenues which you can explore :thumbsup: :

Consumer Rights Act

The car was "mis-sold", as it was sold / bought on the premise that it was not damaged previously.
(A car dealer is LEGALLY OBLIGED to inform all prospective buyers of prior damage repairs to a vehicle, whilst conducting a sale. If they do not inform the sale time they are acting illegally :doh: ) As they have admitted following the sale that they knew / done some of the repair work, they really do not have a leg to stand on....... :iamwithstupid:


Report the Garage to the SIMI

The SIMI operate on a code of ethics, if the dealer is found to be in breach of these ethics, they could have their membership revoked. How would that look for a car sold under a "Gold Standard" :ponder2:
Again if he has admitted that they have carried out damage repairs to the car and not informed you during the sale process..... they are in breach of their SIMI standards also :cuckoo:

I know the SIMI are only an association, but they may be a cheaper option to explore before you go legal :dontknow:

"Frawls" on the forum may be able to help you out also, he is a solicitor and should be able to give a legal opinion on the above :ponder2:

I hope this helps a little :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Michael

Hello Copperhead,

Ring the SIMI again tomorrow and Explain to the lady that you are not looking for "advice", but wish to lodge a complaint...... :thumbsup:

You are in the position now that you have been miss-sold a car, so you do not need advice :doh:

See what she has to say with regards to resolving your issue and not to give out advice :thumbsup:

Again, I think Frawls may be able to help you out :thumbsup:

I hope this helps :subaru:

Best of Luck :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Michael
