- Billing Issues
- Status:
- Answered
In May 2023, I consigned with Zanetti (KZT) to sell my Horse Trailer. I was told the axles were bent and approved their replacement. I also approved a safety inspection for the lights and breakaway system based on KZT's recommendation, in order to sell at a higher price, $49,900. After months of no word from KZT, I contacted them and we agreed to lower the price to $39,900. Then we received a call with a cash offer of $35,000. I asked what was still owed to KZT (axle labor of $748 and commission of $2,100) and what our net would be ($32,152). We agreed to accept the cash offer based on this information. After a couple of weeks of not hearing from KZT, we contacted them to inquire as to if the sale had been finalized. We were informed that yes, it had, and that $3,111.18 of additional repairs were made to the trailer, bringing our net to $29,040.82. We advised that this was not what we were told and that we did not agree with it. After KZT confirmed with their office staff that we had been told we would receive $32,152 they still would not pay us. They insisted that we had originally agreed to a safety inspection to make the trailer "sellable", which was to result in a higher sales price. We were never contacted regarding the inspection and repairs, until we called them and the final invoices and our new net amount were provided to us. KZT also did not discuss any of this internally, especially what we had been told by their office staff of what was still owed and what our net would be. If they had told us what the safety inspection had revealed and had we been aware of the cost, we would have accepted the $35,000 offer based on "as is" condition, but we were not informed nor communicated with in order to make that decision. No additional repairs should have been made prior to us being informed. We want the unauthorized add'l repair amount and shortage of $3,111.18 paid to us.Business response
