I had the worst experience in my life dealing with wicked motor.i bought a 996tt upgrade to 997tt ,after one year of delay, I received the kit with damaged hood, missing head lights, while TNT CONFIRMED that its the same weight they picked up from wicked motor.
any one here can recommend a lawyer in the LA area for a anti fraud law claims ?

I've used this guy once. He is a bit old-school, but jury's seem to like him.

Agent Jester

I'm just a caveman. Your water cooled engines frighten and confuse me.

Unfortunately he's not in LA but know one beats Jackie Chiles.




On a serious note, I hope you can get this all worked out.

I do not believe you will find any attorneys in California specializing in "anti fraud law claims."

Was the hood damaged in transit - i.e. was the packing material damaged as well, or was the box in perfect shape upon arrival? If the former, you should be pursuing the damage claim with the shipper. If the latter, you need to calculate the damages you have suffered.

If the dollar amount falls within the small claims limits in your area, small claims is the affordable way to proceed. If you hire a lawyer, you are going to spend more on legal fees than you recover. You are not going to find a contingency attorney willing to work on a case with a very small payout.

If working with the vendor has not yielded results - and I mean actually working with them to resolve the issue - start using all of the resources available to publicize the issue to see if that produces results. Filing a BBB claim, for example, may yield results - but only with a vendor who has a good BBB rating. If you're working with a vendor who doesn't care what people think, obviously this won't be helpful.

Posting (non-libelous) complaints on their social media (Facebook, Twitter, whatever) may also net results, as no business wants unanswered complaints hanging out on their social media presence.

As an aside...if the worst experience of your life has been enduring the difficulty of upgrading your 996TT to a 997TT, you have led an awesome life - so congratulations on that.

Well that sucks and I agree with the small claims route.

Did you not do a generic search for Wicked Motors? There are tons of negative reviews online about them.

thanx 5CHN3LL, for the advice, however u did not mentioned that they did not ship the head lights (2000-3000 $) .they had me waiting for more than one year( equal car rental cost daily coast x # of days ).
that's what am going to claim.
I wanna teach them a lesson to stop defrauding people ?

You cannot claim fictitious expenses in a court case. Well, you CAN, but you're going to **** off a judge.

You had a working car and wanted to upgrade it, right? How precisely does that entitle you to a years' worth of car rentals?

You may think you're going to teach Wicked a lesson, but the odds are that - if this made it to trial - the judge will tear you a new one and dismiss the case. Don't make stuff up. Those guys in the black robes get irritated when people trump up damages, and they also get pissy when their time is wasted.

I hope you get your stuff and can finish your car, but people who sue other people "to teach them a lesson" are often as not the ones who wind up getting schooled...

the car had sustained a frontal accident and was dismantled in an auto body shop ready to take in the upgrade kit. The work shop charges daily charges on cars that set in there work shop occupying space , waiting for parts that supposed to be brought by the owner .
I hope now ,you tell me that I will win ??

Unlikely.

THAT MEANS THE LAW IS ON THE BAD GUYS SIDE !!!!

I bet there is alot more to this story then this.

Likely, but if he's looking for a warm fuzzy feeling, this isn't the place for it. Good luck on your endeavors, but you're best to move on. Keep passing the word on via social media and leave it at that.

Part time lawyer here. So let's go back to the beginning. I would try contract law. You paid them x and did not receive it. The question is did they ship it? as schnell said, the hood damage is on the shipper. Not shipping headlights for 2-3k is a whole different story. Small claims I think where I live is $2500. File a suit for that and they will have to show up to court with proof they shipped it. If they don't show you win. The time thing is a whole different animal and you could get a lawyer and go for actual damages, but the cost of the lawyer would eat any money you get.
