Falsely accused of damaging hired equipment HSS HIRE

[wiosna30]

Please help !!!

 

 

I hired NIFTYLIFT ACCESS PLATFORM for a couple of hours on the 25th of May and on the 1st of June I have a email that returned machine is broken and they asking me to pay over 1,000 as a cost repair. Its a nonsense!!

 

Equipment has been collected from site by the driver from hss and was on the same condition as taken. The Driver/ collection person didn't say anything that is something wrong and didn't give me as well any paper work to signed stating faults or damages, I didn't get anything, now they want me to pay . Please let me have a template letter as I dont know how to respond - I am shocked !!!!

Please help:mad2:

I doubt there is a template letter for this

 

Your best bet may be to make a formal complaint to there head office

Stating that the equipment have been returned in the same condition as you received it

Equipment break down and maintenance is down to them

 

Do not pay them the only way they could claim this would be a court claim

That you could defend anyway

 

Just because that have written to you does not mean that there is anything to pay

 

I would say that any defect is put down to business expense/maintenance costs that would go against there tax anyway!

machine broken? I note that it doesnt say wilfully damaged or neglectfully damaged. Basically they are trying it on. For sake of argument you can say the driver accepted it as fully working when he collected so nothing to do with you guv.

WHat did they say is broken. because it would still need to work for the driver to get it on the truck
