What do you do if you purchase a defective motor vehicle from a new or second hand vehicle? How does the Consumer Protection Act No 68 of 2008 (CPA) and the common law protect you? What do you need to do and what are the guidelines in this situation?
Because of the number of queries we receive on a weekly basis from our clients with regard to damaged and defective vehicle that they have bought; we are once again going to look at what to do in the situation where you have bought a “lemon” from a motor vehicle dealer.
Be very circumspect when dealing with collection agencies and that includes firms of attorneys that specialise in this area of the law.
Do not believe everything that you are told by a collection agent or attorney as they will look after their own interests and those of their client; before they give a thought to you and your interests.
Prescription of a Debt: What does it mean? Part 2:
Have you ever heard of “alternative dispute resolution?”
One of the services The Legal Advice Office provides to our clients, and other interested parties; is alternative dispute resolution procedures.
These procedures broadly speaking include interventions, mediation, arbitration and other dispute resolution procedures and methods to settle disputes between two parties without proceeding with a civil court action; which could cost tens of thousands of Rands; take two years to finalise; and, if you lose, you have to pay a portion of the other person’s costs.
Alternative dispute resolution is cheaper, quicker and more efficient.
Here is an example of such a situation; which we dealt with during the course of this last month.
