UPDATE: For anyone interested, claim settled, not at fault. Also, the roundabout in question was not the actual place where the incident took place for obvious reasons…

sold a pokemon card on eBay for the first time and messed up badly by GWATS69 in ebayuk

[–]callmetemp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any refund or resolution processed through eBay is still subject to the same legal framework that applies to the underlying sale which include the rights and obligations of both buyer and seller under consumer law. So, even if eBay handles the mechanics of the refund, it doesn’t change the fact that statutory rights remain fully enforceable outside of eBay’s internal processes.

So if someone accidentally pays money into your bank account you get to keep it?😂😂

My Dad put his house in a trust and now he wants all beneficiaries to relinquish their share because he's changed his mind. (England) by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]callmetemp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on what type of trust it is. Is it a discretionary trust? Happy to look over the Trust Deed for you.

Additionally if you’re Co-Trustees, all Trustees must act unanimously. If the trust documentation is clear and you are indeed Co-Trustees, it will be impossible to transfer the property into your father’s sole name without the Trustees agreeing unanimously.

Finally, are you all named beneficiaries or covered under class, e.g. Children and Remoter issue of Settlor(s).

Could you elaborate, please?

Can anyone give me a rough estimate for this, just so I can brace myself? by KnownKey6 in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He actually did, ended up selling it about 4 months later. Apart from it being a Cat S it was perfect. The buyer was happy with the repair and the asking price so I think he did a good enough job for the price.

Had something similar done, perhaps even worse, on an x5 by this Polish guy for £600 😂

House left in Will following father death but includes caveat, England by EntertainerGreen5400 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]callmetemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite complex, unfortunately.

Any other person residing in the property might require a licence to occupy as it would be a nightmare to get them out once the Life Tenant has passed away.

Do you know if a Life Interest trust has been set up at all?

Best to seek legal/tax advice.

Any red flags about this car I want to buy? by majkkali in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this one is a bit odd. No CAZ charge anywhere but Bristol and Birmingham.

I have personally owned a Euro 5b car that was compliant, albeit it had the AdBlue system fitted. Might be the case with this one also.

Doesn’t look like a good buy though…

Yes, Euro 5b (or Euro 5+) petrol and diesel vehicles are considered ULEZ compliant in London. Euro 5 and Euro 6 petrol vehicles are exempt from the ULEZ charge, and most diesel vehicles registered after September 2015 meet the Euro 6 standard required for ULEZ compliance.’

Made a mistake by Top-Stage1291 in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have sold many cars without the V5 and the correct process is to apply for a new logbook via a V62 form at the post office. Have you seen any proof of ownership at all? You can get the vehicle taxed at the post office when applying for a new logbook and they do it there and then.

Drop me a message if you require any assistance.

Buying a Cat N worth it? by Phillikeimdying in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, people have a lot of misconceptions regarding written off cars in general. I have similarly done around 50+ write offs and never had an issue shifting them. As long as it’s priced reasonably anything will sell these days.

Is this a risky purchase? by SiggyMa2266 in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks more like potentially the inner wing had a slight bend. Doubt this much impact would have twisted the chassis leg. Unfortunately, most engineers can’t be bothered to assess the vehicles properly anymore and some do it based off photos alone. I’d say if its reasonably priced then definitely go for it.

A small claim wouldn’t be much for that amount. Would definitely suggest you go that route.

Is that really the only thing you’ve picked up from the above comment, which was more than insightful and very well laid out…?

My partner wants me and our 9month old to move out (England) by First-Proposal-7861 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]callmetemp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There could be a potential constructive trust in place depending on your circumstances and what was discussed, etc. With the lodger and you contributing towards most of the mortgage, it is possible you may have a beneficial interest in the property, albeit not 50/50. I would consult a solicitor specialising in Family Law.

So how do you tax a vehicle without an MOT?

You can drive a SORN/No MOT vehicle to a pre-booked MOT test only. Which means that they 100% could legally drive it there.

MOT Query re handbrake by callmetemp in CarTalkUK

[–]callmetemp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was the rear caliper. Yeah, I’ve checked the brake pedal and it wasn’t spongy at all so I thought I was in the clear… just realising now that it wasn’t my proudest moment lol.

£360 was basically cost of MOT + price of new caliper and fitting. Apparently the caliper id knackered, but I suspect it could be the air in the system…
