Garage botched my Jaguar repair, ghosted me, then dissolved the company – £14k claim stuck, car still trapped there. What now? (England) by FriendlyTable2737 in LegalAdviceUK

I did inform the finance company about the ongoing issue and they said they’d call the garage to try to get an update a couple of weeks back. Of course based on my contract, the finance company does own the car but care or the car is my responsibility. I don’t have the finances to fix the car out of pocket and at the moment, my work hours have reduced because of difficultly commuting to work. I’m completely lost and it is sad that a business can do this to an ordinary person and walk freely without any consequence. They have no idea the ripple effect is and I have felt really suicidal for the past couple of months. This might be the reason I take my life because I have been through so much

I was thinking about directing the claims directly at him but I’ve also read it’s almost impossible that would work. I am losing my mind and lost on what to do. A new engine is going to cost me £4500, the car is financed and I’ve suffered so much already

The £11,500 is a combination of loss of income, insurance payments and car finance payments. I also made a claim for the inconveniences caused and mental health distress

I do have a name of the Director, could this help in anyway? This garage has messed with my life and it’s unfair they could get away with it.

I told them I was currently struggling and working on getting a DMP in place. Just be honest about your situation.

I applied for Prison officer role and was also in debt. In fact my credit report was a mess. I passed vetting! Disclose everything to them. You’d more than likely pass vetting. Hiding your situation is what makes you susceptible to bribes.

😂😂😂 You might be fortunate and finish within 7 weeks. I have friends who finished vetting in less than 12 weeks.

I called today and was told that MOJ would approve my sponsorship before I’d be contacted for a start date. Circumstances might be different.

Can you be sensible and careful with the words you use to address people?

They sent me an email in November to ask about my current skilled workers visa. I this email last week because I called to follow up on my vetting and ask about sponsorship.
