would very much appreciate some some advise.

hey guys, would like to get your advise regarding my options and which regulatory body i should turn to.

 

I scraped my bike after my accident and after i get my claims and all, the motor shop is charging me $850 in fees for storage ($420) and labour($250) and towing and scrapping.

I don't mind the labour and towing but i don't agree with the storage fees. he charged me $30 a day for 2 weeks which is ridiculous because the shop is at auto-hub and ubi and parking is at most, $0.65/day. so how is it i am being charged $30/day for a bike that is going to be scrapped anyways. in any case, i would like to fight against this storage fees so i was hoping someone could shed some light on my options or who i could seek mediation from ?

 

Thanks

Did you sign anything agreeing to the storage charges? Or was there any provable verbal agreement prior?

 

If neither, shop have no case. Just ignore and walk away.

hmm well the accident was back in 2009. i just got the settlement claims and the lawyer now asks me to pay the shop the fees.

I don't mind paying the fees at all. but to charge $30/day for storing a bike bound for the scrapyard is just alil too hard to take in so yea, looking for some advise before i talk to the shop.

Write a formal letter and enclose a cheque for just the labour.

 

State your your reasons in the letter.

 

Nothing else should happen as I don't think the shop will pursue.

which shop

What was the outcome?

 

Don't think you needed to pay for anything. The insurance would have covered everything.
