Hello folks,
This is a tricky one.
Let me explain. Hit another car in parking lot. The car was for sale. Not sold yet. Proceed to make an agreement to pay the repairs myself. Other party agrees in principle. On the date of the repairs I call the Auto Shop that is making repairs to make reparations.
the vehicle never showed up for said repairs.
Subsequently I find out that the original owner ahs sold the vehicle in the time period of several months while waiting for an opening at the shop. Making warranty to new owners that I would pay for the damages that were done to the car that were there when they purchased it. All without my prior approval.
It is the new owners who have cancelled the appointment.
I was not notified about any of this. I was operating in good Faith according to an oral agreement for the repairs as I was at fault. (I simply could not afford to have it turned over to my Insurance company).
My question is. Do I still have to honor the agreement with the new owners? I do not know them nor have I spoken to them. The previous owner at time of accident never notified me of any change in the ownership status. He wants to give the new owners all my info and have them call me since they cancelled the appointment.
My contention is that this man has way over stepped the agreement and should have had the repirs done as we agreed prior to making warrantys on my behalf to the new owners.
What say you?
Any help is much appreciated.
Peace,
Dave
