The reach from this little corner of the fediverse probably isn’t all that great.
But maybe this will be seen by someone out there who’s in a similar situation. Someone who’s thinking of taking those crumbs, keeping quiet and wanting it all to go away.
Keep fighting. Stick it to them. You’re owed a resolution with no price tag attached.
Get legal help if you don’t understand your rights yourself. It doesn’t have to be expensive, and it can make the difference.
That’s why we have consumer protections and no cost, evidence-based jurisdictions.
Sometimes the bar for these sorts of things can feel high. Too much effort with no promise of reward. I get that. I’ve been through the process more than once.
But when your only other option is lying down…
Personally I’d rather bring the matter before QCAT, lay the facts out in a coherent way, and let a legal authority decide what the outcome should be.
I wonder how many would have though?
I wonder how many people have been in this position and under that kind of time pressure?
How may have cracked, thinking this is the best I’m going to get, and taken the offer at the cost of their silence?
I wonder if it actually fixed their problem, or if it was just a token gesture to buy silence.
Nearly two months later, the offer was conditioned on a full and final release of my claim up front, confidentiality of the offer and non-disparagement of the brand, car and dealership, and made no admission of liability. I was given a little over 24 hours to accept.
The offer was woefully inadequate and conditions seemed disproportionately restrictive, particularly as we are in open dispute about the condition of the vehicle.
Obviously I didn’t accept.
