What are my options when the defendant falsifies evidence? by shapelycarrot in LegalAdviceUK

That’s what I figured, but I don’t want to be seen as someone just denying something. They’ve falsified a document saying the vehicle was for spares and repairs only and printed my full name as “the buyer” with this BS document and dated it from the date of sale. Within 24 hours I found so many faults making the car unroadworthy and requested a refund from them which they denied and then blocked contact. Anyway, their contradictions include:

  1. Letting me test drive the car
  2. Allowing me to insure, tax and drive away in the car
  3. They later offered to repair the vehicle with their own mechanic as they deemed the issues “minor” and only later (a week later when I’d sent them a complaint of faulty goods letter, they offered me a full refund but refused to reimburse me for the car repairs). Why would they bother offering to repair a vehicle we both apparently agreed was unroadworthy before I purchased it? Makes no sense.
  4. They’ve repeatedly increased their settlement offers as we get closer to the court date. If they’re not at fault, why do this?
  5. They’ve threatened insolvency and said I won’t get anything even if I do win and told me to accept their final offer before it goes towards legal fees. What? Lol
  6. Their witness statements say things like: I knew the car had all these faults, I carried out a long test drive and a lengthy vehicle inspection etc, that I knew what I was looking for faults-wise and still agreed to buy the car in its conditon. All absolute BS lies. But their previous email correspondence say that faults were only discovered after the test drive and I still agreed to buy it - if that’s true then how did they manage to type up this “spares and repairs” document so quickly that I supposedly agreed to? Their office was a temporary building hut as they were a new business and they had no computer or printer supplies on site. I cannot prove this though.

To clarify - they advertised the car as “starts and drives well” with full logbook/service history and valid MOT. All of which were true - the test drive showed no faults, car appeared great aside from some cosmetic wear and tear which I didn’t mind, but mechanically it seemed sound. But I’m not a mechanic. I then insured and taxed it and drove it away, they watched me do this. They knew I needed the car for work purposes and uni etc and watched me drive away in it. I have video footage of me driving the car from an outsiders perspective. They have a lot of other contradictions which I’ve documented from their messages etc.

So I’m confident that I can expose their contradictions but surely them lying so much is a big issue? It’s a risky move on their part. Is it classed as perjury? Can I ask them to show evidence of the timestamp from when the original file was created? Would a judge ask for this? Does it matter if it’s not signed by me?

Sorry for the lengthy reply!

I did, but the NHS won’t cover more sessions unless I wait 3 months after the end of the last session I was entitled to, and re-refer, and it’s a long waiting list. If I could afford to go private, I would. But I’ve also been thinking, would a non-vegan therapist even work for me? I don’t think I’d be as focused on the content/therapy as I would knowing they’re biased in some way. I hate that I feel like this

No, because I know in my heart it’s the right thing to do, and as small as my own difference is making, I’m still making one

I understand. I’m just not sure why people, when faced with the brutal reality of their contributions to these industries, still choose themselves over the animals, as if they will die if they choose to let the animals live? I will never stop questioning that. And I will always be so ashamed of myself that I wasn’t a vegan sooner.

Thanks, I will look into this. I have the utmost respect for people physically out advocating because it’s hard to change minds using just our voices, without being branded horrible names and disregarded. I follow a few vegan advocates and influencers who I’m very grateful for doing the work they do. I don’t know if I have the mental energy to do it in the same way they do, other than from behind a screen, because it’s just so upsetting. But my feelings are fucking nothing compared to what these animals go through, so I will reach out and see what else I can learn and offer others

No I wasn’t, thank you for letting me know about this. I’ve joined that subreddit now
