Vw emissions compensation

[Lofty1984]

Not sure it’s been covered but has any one lodged a claim? I realise it’s all still on going in the uk at least. only I had a pop up from a no win no fee solicitor earlier seems I can claim on both amaroks that I’ve had

If you win ,,how much will the solicitor want .

Yes we are in for 2 vehicles that were 12 plates. It’s still ongoing but basically it’s been admitted what happened was wrong but they are just going through the motions.
I had a 15 plate Amarok so I’m now wondering if that could be added to it?
The best case scenario is about 50% of the cost back we’ve been told after the solicitors taking their cut.

Can you not go to vw direct and cut out the middle man from taking a slice of the pie?

surely the amoraks never had that so called engne in did they?

Why do the owners need compensated?

 

[Barleycorn]

I started a claim as we have a 14 plate Scoda, but looked at the small print and it was quite frightening, could be subject to X Y Z claims against me in certain situations, so dropped it. Think it's a bit of a scam now, perhaps different if you were on the original phase.

 

[Lofty1984]

20-30% if it’s successful they claim to take

Well the cars were sold as very green and a very low road fund licence, but they are more dirty and incurring a bigger charge ,plus the fact the sellers (vw) misrepresented their product ,a bit like farmers selling top quality wheat and the buyer saying no its not ,knock something off the price

No, they wont talk to you, its the solicitors getting numbers together to have some clout and get what was paid out to customers in the USA, similar thing now with Mercedes.

Worth a punt then ?

Is anyone else involved in the claim for Scotland? There's a settlement offer on the table but it's closer to £1k than 2. I understand the English settlement was for over £2k, but may be wrong. 20% to go to the crowd that bankrolled the claim, with legal expenses being settled separately. These 2 firms will probably do very well, but it has to be said that we'd likely get nothing without them.

Should we just give them the nod and be happy?

If you were happy with the car before this arose why stake a claim just to feed these ambulance chasers?

You make a good point. In my case the car was bought a handful of weeks before the scandal broke, so was de-valued very quickly. It has been far from faultless, so I don't feel guilty taking a draw of cash off vw.

It was a software issue, allowing the car to recognise a test and cut emissions accordingly.

However, the owners were winners as they paid low road tax, and nothing is retrospective.

Even cars that are on the market now s/h of that period are still classed as low road tax, a bit of a farce really.

we are 180,000.miles and 13 years into our trouble free and economical driving with one of these faulty, fraudulent VWs.
To be honest I don't want to fund the legal parasites.
Yes VW were wrong, but then, no more wrong than the EV manufacturers of today claiming to be squeaky clean.
