Embezzlement? Contract fraud?
June 15, 2010 | 25,00 EUR | answered by Steffan Schwerin
Hello :-)
I have the following problem.
Some time ago, I gave a workshop in my area the order to make my car roadworthy so that it passes the TÜV and AU tests.
After that, the car (an Audi) was supposed to be sold for 2500 euros.
After not hearing anything for a while, I went to the workshop to inquire.
There I found out that the car had already been sold and was already being used by the new owner. I was supposed to receive 1500 euros and then be done with everything.
Of course, I objected to this and wanted the vehicle back.
After 4 weeks, this has now happened - on this occasion, I was presented with a bill for almost seven hundred euros, even though we had agreed on 400 euros.
The bill also includes a set of wheels + installation, which I did not authorize.
Now my question is:
Can I withhold the money for this service?
What about the wear and tear on the vehicle (several hundred kilometers)?
Is it allowed to withhold my vehicle registration document if I do not pay everything?
Dear questioner,
I will answer the questions you have asked, taking into consideration the circumstances described and your contribution, as follows:
Firstly, you do not have to pay the bill from the workshop, as they sold your car without consultation.
You can demand the return of the vehicle or alternatively the agreed purchase price of €2,500.
Furthermore, you should report the incident to the police.
You don't need the vehicle registration document if the vehicle is already gone.
I would like to point out that this platform cannot replace a detailed and personal legal consultation. The aim is solely to provide an initial rough assessment of your legal issue based on the information you have provided, from a lawyer. The legal advice I provide is based solely on the information you have provided. Adding or omitting relevant information in the description of your circumstances can lead to a completely different legal assessment.
I hope I have given you an initial overview and that my explanations are helpful. Please feel free to contact me through the follow-up option on this portal.
Furthermore, I am also available for representation. The initial consultation fee you have paid would be fully credited.
A greater distance between lawyer and client is generally not a problem. With the help of modern communication means such as email, post, fax, and telephone, representation is still possible.
