It's hardly a whim. He's broken something of someone else's, is delaying it AND bitching about it.

A quick look around suggests that you couldn't hire anything like this for a weekend for less than the repairs will cost. It's the same sort of mentality that whines about paying £100 to have a bumper repaired I suppose.
Seriously what the heck is some of your problems. He has no money IS going to fix it. Make it better than before by bolting the damn thing on, and if needed will get another so it matches. Also bolt it on. WHEN HE GETS PAID ! What dont you understand about this it will be done BEFORE the 14th septemeber when the guy oiriginally wanted it done.
If it bothers you that much give him 400 quid then. OP you should really just ignore half the spanners in here.
oh and I dont have 400 quid to my name either, So i also suck at money management

That just worries me. How do people like that have the flexibility to enjoy themselves? I mean a spontaneous decision to go to a nice restaurant can cost a good part of £100, to be in a position where you have to think 'oh I can't do that' means that somethings gone wrong somewhere.
1. I do not have a credit card . and will not get one just to sort this out (bad experience when i got one first time around - so never again)
2. There isnt a hope in hell im going to pay a body shop money to repair something this simple
3. When i got made redundant a year ago all the work i could get was behind a bar earning a max of £100 a week. (not easy to save when you have bills and such like)
4. As for the agreement being unnecessary, it was not my choice to write the agreement, it was his!
5. an overdraft that will not wait is one that is planned to be paid back by an agreed date.
maybe im being abit off by not getting it repaired right away... but he happily admitted last weekend (to my mate) there was no rush as we had till the 14th anyway + it had been wet weather and there had been no days he could have driven it anyway.
thanks for the links to westfield by the way
they will come in handy.
i wish i had the spare cash to just say "oh yea heres 400 quid dont worry about it, its not even a dent in my savings!" but unfortunately lack of work and doing whatever i was offered didnt allow.
now ive sorted myself out and got a good paying job again i will have savings again!!
if i forgot to reply to anything else ill do that later on when im more awake

simple if i dont earn enough to do the expensive things i dont do them.... i wont always be broke... the recession has hit some people harder than others obviously
If I was going to give somebody my car, the agreement would be "returned in the same condition it was given". Not "fix anything you break".[TW]Fox;14738893 said:
Then again, if you scraped the bumper a bit and it needed a little paint, would I expect you to pay for a full respray because I'm anal about paint matching? No, I wouldn't, even if the agreement would entitle me to that.
In my opinion the situation is that I would probably be happy to pay for both to be replaced, to ensure they are equally "faded". However, to be jumped on and have that demanded of me, and earlier than when agreed, well, that's one sure fire way to get naff all extra.
Bad experience? You mean you missed payments/didn't pay it off when you used it and ran up a big bill because it's free money/objected to paying interest and no doubt blamed the card company?
Otherwise I fail to see why you could have a bad experience with a credit card, mine are incredibly useful tools

quite!
an agreement is an agreement, the op isnt breaking it. yes it sucks i know, but if i entered an agreement then id expect both parties to stick to it.
get the other arch, clean it up and colour match the new one. fix the speedo and give the car a vac and polish for good will. You shouldnt need to do anything else.
Legally yes, morally no.
He didnt pay to hire a car. He was given a car, for FREE. This, in my opinion, puts the moral side of things way higher up than the legal side of things.
What sort of a person borrows somebodies car for free, puts thousands of miles on it, then holds that person to the legal letter of their entitlement after they've damaged it?

A new set of wings shouldn't set you back more than about eighty quid, bit of silkaflex or pu adhesive and you're away (the suff sticks like the proverbial to a blanket)

He signed an agreement, he's following it to the letter because it's not entirely possible to get it fixed asap.
Both issues could have happened at any time, it's just unfortunate timing. A reasonable person with a bit of common sense would let the person wait till he has to money, after all he's still in the period to get it fixed.
As for not having £400 to spare being pathetic- do one.

fit extra roll bars (rear frame support)
get the cover changed to fit the new roll bars
change rear suspension for MOT
i think that what what we did before we went away. oh and get it MOT'd
The first comment he made I ignored it, the second I tried to explain but it does actually make me angry that people have his attitude.
The silver spoon picture sums it up nicely - not understanding how people can have little disposable income means you've never been there yourself. So he clearly hasn't worked up from the bottom like most of us will have done - so he's obviously just landed in whatever money he's got for as long as he can remember. I know what's more pathetic.
