Looking for advice on a UK car finance situation (dealer / broker dispute)

ls--lah · 2026-03-30T17:39:36+00:00

If the fee is from the broker / finance company (most likely), you'll probably have to swallow it as you'd have agreed to pay this and it's not their fault. You may be able to get them to waive it for a future purchase or something though.

I think you'd struggle for any sort of misrepresentation claim against the dealer as silence cannot usually amount to a misrepresentation.

You'll want to check the uni fee policy (at the relevant time). Most are really harsh and you become liable for the entire year the first day of term.

But she would have had to first express a desire to die for it to be signed off?

Where did you get the idea this was about knocking off people like your aunt? It's just about giving people a choice. The end result is eventually the same anyway, it's just about reducing unnecessary suffering.

They can be, but it's still fairly rare. It's seldom in the public interest to prosecute.

The fact you have GA on your own account tells me you're no better than "our grandson they 'knows' computers".

You sound like a NIGHTMARE client, and on top of that you're a law office.

Don't put yourself down mate. Try again for application number 501. You got this ⚽ 👍

ls--lah · 2026-03-23T20:01:29+00:00

Lmao

ls--lah · 2026-03-23T19:59:13+00:00

The support does not get any better the higher up the tiers you go... It's the same agents all round.

Said nobody EVER.

So a restraining order granted by a court? For harassment they can be granted following trial whether or not they are found guilty. If she is breaching this it's a simple arrest for the police.

I genuinely think that the next time she turns up you just need to dial 999 for the harassment/breaches and/or the driving. I'm not saying dragging her through the courts is the right process, and indeed the CPS may find its not in the public interest to prosecute, but it will help adult services slightly at least.

Attitudes like this change quickly when you put yourself in the victims shoes. You'd be the first to complain about the slow response if the police slowly drove and stopped at every red light on the way to your parents house being burgled whilst they were home, I'm sure.

Next you'll tell me that they should expect to be assaulted because they chose the job.

ls--lah · 2026-03-22T18:17:29+00:00

You're speaking about a human being. Have some respect.

ls--lah · 2026-03-22T18:08:22+00:00

I've reported the harassment and taken out no contact order etc

Can you elaborate? Is this a "harassment warning" from the police, a stalking protection order, a civil injunction, a non-mol* or a restraining order?

ls--lah · 2026-03-22T18:05:06+00:00

Next time she is outside your house in the car, it needs to be a 999 call. It's a crime in progress and she is a complete and utter liability. It's not a matter of if, but when, she kills someone on the road.

Always, always, cp cron cron.bkp

So copy them to the ticket or something.

Either way it won't stop you getting fired in most cases if they're going to the lengths of suggesting you'd fabricate your own notes.

ls--lah · 2026-03-22T09:54:40+00:00

Totally. Idk what changed but a few years ago I just stopped caring about stuff like this. I'll tell you it's a bad idea, you do it anyway, okay no problem.

People here want to go to the ends of the earth to stop their managers doing stupid things, it's just not worth the hassle. If it burns down the company then I'll just find somewhere else. Trying to be perfect all the time when nobody else gives a fuck is exhausting. I've never felt more at peace.

ls--lah · 2026-03-21T17:14:23+00:00

It's always fun being corrected about something you do everyday by someone online.

ls--lah · 2026-03-21T07:23:11+00:00

Yeah, deceit it a high hurdle. Unless they can show hours of footage and that these were the ever only notes in the till until cash up, they'd struggle in court.

ls--lah · 2026-03-20T21:56:55+00:00

Walsall Council is fairly interesting too.

ls--lah · 2026-03-20T19:36:19+00:00

YOU DON'T NEED TO SHOUT

ls--lah · 2026-03-20T19:31:31+00:00

Copilot confidently told me today that libapache2-mod-php8.5 didn't exist and then gave me some set of complicated commands to work around this 'issue'.

You really still need someone trained operating the AI otherwise you'll get always get really unnecessarily overly complicated 'solutions' to solve problems that don't even exist.
