Thanks for the info DX Could I make a claim with my car insurance company? (Fully comp)

Hi I've recently had some work done on my car which has resulted in considerable damage being caused by the company who did it. The work was to vinyl wrap parts of the car, however the person who performed the work was negligent and has caused considerable slits in all of the window seals, they no longer fit properly, and now need replacing. It was not a garage, but a specialist who does window tinting, vehicle graphics and vinyl wrap services. I have sent him photos and he is willing to "take a look" (on Friday) however there is no way they can be repaired and will require replacing. With labour the cost will be around £1000 pounds having had estimates already over the phone. The actually work itself was just over £100. (Paid by card). (The car is pretty expensive). Am I able to make a claim on my credit card for cost to repair the damage? It's unclear if they are a sole trader or not. Thanks.

Thanks all for your replies..... Incidentaly the boiler was installed direct to the end user. The middle company never actually "possessed" it as such. There were no contracts, only verbal terms of agreement. Right, to confirm, the middle company was in an actual state of liquidation when the order was placed, with appointed liquidators. My friend today rang the actual liquidators (government liquidator with .gov.uk email address). The person he spoke with said the following....(summarised) - As the company was in a state of liquidation at the time that the order was made it was in effect not an order between the company and him. An act of fraud has been commited. - He said that the boiler still actually belonged to my friend. (also said basically that the director of the company is impossible to contact). I am in no means trying to suggest that what he said is legally accurate. My friend is at the moment planning to return to the shop where it was fitted and remove it. He said that he needed to return to adjust something but will use this invited access time to remove the boiler. He discussed this with the liquidator who said that this was within his rights. I'm not so sure this is the right way to go. He has contacted the end user company several times but are unwilling to discuss. Could the way in which payment has been made to the middle company be a factor...IE if money was transferred to his personal account rather than business account? (Unconfirmed) Thanks again, Mark

Hi all, My first post here is on behalf of a friend of mine who's in a situation. I hope I'm in the right place for posting this question.... My friend Mr A. is a sole trader (heating engineer) who has a few months back been contracted by a Ltd company (b) who specialises in commercial central heating installations. Mr A. has installed a new boiler on a commercial premises shop © on behalf of this company he is contracted by. (The shop is company b's customer). It has since transpired that the company (b) is in a state of liquidation. It has just come to light that the company (b) was already in a state of liquidation when they approached Mr A. asking him to do the work! They are continuing to try to gain new business while in a state of forced liquidation. The company has failed to pay Mr A. any money owed despite repeated requests. The end customer - shop © has made full payment for the work to company (b). There are no written contracts to speak of, only verbal agreements and maybe one or two vague emails. Q) What is Mr A's legal rights in being able to reclaim the boiler, ie, if the shop allowed him onto their premises could he legally remove from wall and regain possession? Q) Isn't technically the boiler still owed by Mr A as it has never been paid for? Any help really appreciated on this! Many thanks MarkyUK
