General Legal Advice Questions

My son bought a car privately in January. This week it was seized by a bailiff acting for a finance company.

I recently tried to part-exchange the vehicle, at which stage we discovered that it was in fact a converted van, and as such worth only about £2,000. Do we have any comeback from the firm that sold it to us, or from the bank which arranged the finance?

Two months ago I drove into a council car park through the exit by mistake, and wrecked a tyre on the steel flaps designed to prevent people getting into the car park without paying. In my opinion the signposts into the car park were very badly illuminated, but the council has refused to pay the £85 it cost me for a new tyre.

Six months ago we flew with Air Canada. Although we arrived our luggage did not. We reported this and were given a claim number, but despite writing to both their UK and Quebec offices by recorded delivery we’ve had no response. Both suitcases eventually turned up but we were put to considerable inconvenience. Without a response from Air Canada we cannot even claim on our insurance.

Builders renovating a house next door to a friend of mine caused so much dust when shot-blasting and cutting blocks that it damaged my friend’s computer and hi-fi system and her car needed a re-spray. No precautions were ever taken to stop the dust flying, and the builders were just abusive when she complained: is she entitled to any compensation?
