someone i know had a small manuf company and the equipment they had spent 50 k on was playing up from day 1. the chairman was very cocky said sue us then. we blow you out of water. he sued and went so far before it cost him 15 k. and he said lawyer was crap. to go any further they told him it could be 40 50 k in costs . so the big boys nearly always win. the problem you got is thet just keep throwing money at it until you walk away. it hurts you pride as well good luck whatevr you dol

I agree, but the likes of LTI hate bad publicity, and Mr Bex has posted his info on all the taxi sites around.

So even if Mr Bex doesn't get all he wants, he will have cost LTI a few sales. :wink:

I couldn't agree more, and if Mr Bex wins what he wants, then after him no-one will be more pleased than I. :wink:

A cracking idea, perhaps a direct letter to Mr Livingston highlighting the troubles associated with these cars and the intransigence of LTI. The vehicles are a pile of garbage, prone to no end of problems, and it would seem that he endorses the product. Perhaps he is unaware of the problems with these vehicles.

Sorry to say but you've got no chance against these companies nowadays, they couldn't care less. I had an insurance fraud committed against me, Cabsurance knew this, as did Brit Insurance, both were quite happy to let the fraudster get away with it, even the Insurance Fraud Bureau said 'It's out of our remit'. Every time my premium goes up they say it's because of fraudulent claims, is it any wonder when the fraudsters are pretty much assisted by the insurance companies? Refused to even scrub it from my record, even though they admitted that the claimant had a car registered to his 'independent' witness' address and that they have a child together (registered at the Public Records Office).

LTI have written to VOSA in an attempt to dis- credit my complaints.VOSA have phoned me regarding LTI comments.

My sole aim is to achieve a vehicle fit for purpose and worth £35000,or give me and all the others our money back.!

I have tonight received my 72nd e mail from a fellow sufferer,who unfortunately appears to have my vehicles TWIN !

Various comments have been posted refering to my actions against LTI and KPM,and my possible ignorance towards the consequences of my attempt to achieve justice.

I am spending my own money,I have tried all reasonable avenues to achieve a satisfactory conclusion,in the interests of my own situation and my fellow victims of LTI and KPM,I will follow this disgraceful scenario through to the courts where I hope WE may achieve JUSTICE.

I have explored virtually EVERY angle,but I am open to any constructive suggestions.

MY NAME IS PETER FOREMAN. IF CAB DRIVERS AND TRADE ORGANIZATIONS HAD STOOD TOGETHER IN THE PAST LTI WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KICK US ALL IN THE TEETH NOW !

THE PROBLEMS ARE REAL NOT FICTION !

You could set up a 'fighting fund' or at least test the water, you might find a lot of drivers appreciate your efforts and would like to support you. You're not the only one who is not happy with things. Be Lucky.

Peter, over the years I have spent many thousands of pounds dealing with solicitors and barristers. The one thing I have learned is that they will do most anything you ask them to so long as you pay. I would think that if you were to take LTI to court and lose you would not only be paying your own legal costs but theirs also.

I am not one for telling someone what to do, because at the end of the day it is their money at risk, but I will say that if it was me I would send the vehicle back to LTI for repairs, but I would also stipulate that if it was not returned to me fit for purpose that I would expect either a replacement vehicle or my money back in full.

If the vehicle was returned to me after going back to LTI and it was not in a roadworthy and safe condition I would first take it to my local head VOSA garage and have it MOT'd. A failure by them would add strength to my case.

Keep a cool head............... let your eyes be your judge and your money the last thing that leaves your hand......Mr T :wink:

I need to make a few things clearer:

In law I have NO CONTRACT WITH LTI, my contract is with KPM the supplying dealer and The Bank Of Scotland my Finance providers.

My court action is against these parties for failing to supply me with goods as specified on purchase : "A VEHICLE FIT FOR PURPOSE AND OF MERCHANTABLE QUALITY".

While I may chose to communicate with LTI to achieve a satisfactory result,and give them a chance to act with a degree of responsibility,they will not be facing me in Court.

If my case is proved against KPM,they in turn are then able to issue Court proceedings against LTI.

We all know that if I am successful KPM will not do this,they are to busy kissing the back side of T Hattersley (LTI),after all they do not want to bite the hand that feeds them very nicely !

I have at no time refused a repair on my vehicle,I did refuse T Hattersley the right to take my "Vehicle back to plant", to carry out an inspection for VOSA.This was because the vehicle has already been back to plant for 4 weeks for EXACTLY the same faults and was returned to me with a statement that the faults were "Inherrant Characteristics".

Also T Hattersley smugly told me at our recent meeting after driving the vehicle "there is nothing wrong with this vehicle and that is what I will tell VOSA when it has been back to plant,VOSA RELY ON US FOR THE REPORT SO THIS WON`T BE GOING ANY FURTHER"

He was not interested in the other numerous faults eg severe gearbox dis- function,and treated me with total contempt.

However,my solicitor has today written to VOSA and LTI,KPM, and advised that the vehicle is available for inspection at the premises of KPM in my presence.If they are still insistant on taking the vehicle back to plant then it is requested that I am given a like for like loan vehicle ,and a written undertaking given that the vehicle will be returned in a fault free condition within a specified time.In the interim my Barrister will be filing for a Court date.

I am today instucting the largest Independant Vehicle Inspectors in England to carry out an in depth report on my vehicle.THIS WILL BE COMPLETED BEFORE LTI HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE ! Yes more money but I am 100% sure they will condemn the vehicle as the previous inspection did.This will obviously be used as evidence in Court and will be posted on the Internet.

I hope this clarifys these points,and would add for those of you who have suggested I contact the papers,this has already been done ! Not one paper has yet published,not even the LTDA.

I am now going to send a copy of EVERYTHING TO OUR MAYOR,KEN LIVINGSTONE,and will advise you of his response,if any!

WATCH THE MESSAGE BOARDS I HAVE NO SECRETS,ALL WILL BE POSTED.

PETER FOREMAN .LONG TERM VICTIM OF LTI/KPM!

I would have had this cleared up months ago. It is not rocket science. When the car came back from repair and was still faulty, it would have been stolen and burned out. :wink: Sorted.

Grandad have you lost the plot :?: have you seen the insurance premiums for London, they are almost the equivalent of buying a house in the midlands, and you want Bex to take out a second mortgage
keep taking the senile pills they are bound to work 1 day

Bex is doing what everyone should do fight the dam stupid system and rip off company's that are allowed to just walk all over us, just because some of us do not have the funds to fight back, that they can just walk all over us. I hope he wins

He will need more than a second mortgage for his legal bill by the time he is finished. He could always try option 2. Cut his losses and just sell the damn thing. There is bound to be some mug who will buy it.
