Hi,
I had a contract to store a boat at a yard. Sometimes things get difficult for not obvious reason. I wished to sell the boat and pay the outstanding storage charges. I emailed and called them 9 times in two months informing I was to sell. no response. I found a buyer. he paid a deposit. we agreed a completion date. I informed the yard in 2 emails of the sale and date. called four times over the weekend for a bill and still not recieveda response. on the Monday of the sale I called at 9am to get a bill. I was torn in too . I was overcharged and told id lost it. The lady was so difficult and unhelpful I told her I would not be spoken to in such a way and most defiantly not lost my overcharge. she said well we will keep your boat. I could not sell until I had paid. but I could not pay.
I called the buyer and cancelled the sale. Later I received an apology from the office. I found another buyer. they drove 140 miles to see the boat. they were refused access to it. for absolutely no reason. They wrote to me. stating in 50 years they had never met such unhelpful people.
So I walked away. lost my boat. could not deal with them. To the point now.
No request for payment. nothing. no letter no elail. no call or text. no letter before action. no pre action notice. no statement or demand.
The yard submits a claim on line and the particulars of claim state despite chaseing.
Is this an absolute abuse of the court system. from my prospective. if they had written to me. I could have given my position and a rsolution could have avoided a claim being submitted. however I cant do this know. I suspect class was part of the lack of desire to bill me in the knowledge they could hurt me by a claim. why do I think this. because they have been so bloody rude and difficult and who does not provide a settlement figure when someones trying to pay.
I am trying to find out a courts view on pre action protocol.
thank you
