Hi all! Been AGES since I was last on here (apologies for those who PM'd me & I didn't get back to you). As most of you must know, I recently graduated from uni, and being passionate about business, I decided to buy a van.
To begin with, the first place I went to was ebay (don't really know why). Anyhow, the van I wanted was on Auction & I bid & won the auction. Now, having only graduated and being inexperienced in the business sector, I didn't take into consideration the FULL costs involved & thought my father would cover it.
I've won the auction, and he's not willing to pay 6.5k for the van I won (plus my insurance is sky-high- which I was hoping to pay myself). I've tried explaining the situation to the seller, however he has replied saying I have to pay for the item or he will issue a court summons via "Money Claim Online" as my bid is a legal binding contract as I have won.
I know I've made a stupid mistake & should have known better, but has anyone been in this situation in the past?
what do i do?
Can he really take me to court over this????????? :|
