Badly Screwed

[Anquetil]

Doesn't the disclaimer cover you against this crap?

I remember the OCAU forums being offline for a while for simailar circumstances.

In a word, no. Just because there is a disclaimer, or because what was said is the truth, doesn't stop someone from bringing an action against you, and even if they don't win, the object is often to outspend you because lawyers and barristers are expensive and companies tend to have greater resources than individuals.

That's where the :bs!: comes from.

If there is a disclaimer etc. Shouldnt even be allowed into court to 'outspend'

what a dirty, filthy tactic

so with regard to getting "badley screwed" if you are lucky enough to have been put in this position by a buisness of some discription (not a private sale) all you have to do is click on this link http://www.consumer.qld.gov.au/oft/oftweb....nt&L1=Consumers this contains an online complaint form

I spoke to a very helpfull guy in this department who informed me that people are being swindled every day in Australia by company's like ******* devolopments, he said "if only they would just contact us, a prosecution is very easy providing you are dealing with an bona fide company that is not liquidated"

here is another usfull link that may help

it is a great shame when sh*t occurs, as it breaks down any trust you may have with honest people, I won't be sending money away again without gaurantees which is a shame because the forums are a great way of getting parts, it always seems to be that small minority that ruin it for everyone !

it may be a good idear for the above links to go in a 'sticky' ?

Mate could you please PM me the company ,name it would be interesting to see if they were the same one that dudded me.

[Steve]

PM name please.

Oh, and out of interest, isnt it liable if its on the internet - after all it is written? And Predator, I do believe you cannot even bitch about a company to your mates. If enough witnesses overhear it, ie reasonable proof you said it, thats still slander.

Best way is to give a totally factual account - without any opinions, and let others make up their mind - of course, best to keep the names out of it, we dont want SAU to have to fight a legal defence - then again, if Prank brought back the point system (I want a bold user name dammit:p;))
