Title: legal aid?
Post by: nadlad on 24 May 2006, 19:50
while ago wen to vw harrogate asked to get my key coded, they said they cudnt do it and said i need a new part for 34.99 mite be the bit with two buttons anyway, anyway 6 months later now i got a letter saying i ordered a new key and i have to pay around 160 quid for it, and its here waiting for me to collect, they also claim they tried to contact me several times and i didnt answer the phone, which is bull.

what do i do now coz i never asked em to order a key all they said was they will order a new part meanign the two button fob part and give me a call, and i spoke to this prick called Gary and he goes u ordered a new part and u gotto pay for it, i told him to stick where the sun dunt shine coz i never ordered a new key, why wud i order a new key when i brought the two keys to him what the F am i gonna do with a third key?

Hi mate,

Do they have your signature against any order for a new key? How long between you going in and them demanding you collect/pay for the key?

ps I think Ben's right - As long as they haven't got an order from you stating you will owe them £x when the key comes in (with your signature on it, as well), then I don't think they'll have a leg to stand on.

It's strange though, as dealers usually want money (deposit at least) up front for things like keys, as they are obviously no good on any other car.
