Copart bid by nephew

[KullyUK]

Need advice please, I’ve recently joined Copart & bought a car, a couple of days ago my nephew bid on a car and won the auction, I told them it wasn’t me, but they are demanding £2k as the Land Rover was over £20k, I can’t afford pay the £2k never mind buy the car. Anybody had a similar experience? And what are my options

not let the nephew use your account? charge the nephew the 2k?

other than that not much

For context, how old is your nephew? Is this a case of a child messing about with your laptop or is it an adult using your Copart account?

[KullyUK]

He’s only 12 years old, I wish he had the money too

If it was not you, just tell them it was not you. Although they may query how someone else had access to your account.

Apparently he made a couple of bids on it, laptop was left with copart logged in, I have changed my password now

I think all you can do is explain the circumstances to Copart, be extremely apologetic and see what they say. I don't know how you'd stand from a contractual point though.

Quoted just in case.
Expensive lesson learned not to store log ins on computer.

Could always try speaking to them?

Your options are you pay the 2k or you don't.

If you dont then no doubt copart will black list you permanently, they may also take legal proceedings against you for the cash you owe under the terms you agreed to when you joined.

That is a classic TV Soap error.

The old 'it wasnt me getting carried away bidding. It was my nephew...honest' line.

Copart will likely ban you and then chase you for the £2k.

[KullyUK]

I have emailed them backwards & forwards today, if I get blacklisted I would lose my £100 per year membership, has anyone been prosecuted by them?

Always people with next to no posts.

Same chap that was on here asking earlier in the week about buying a ropey Disco from Copart and refused to be talked out of it?

[emperorburger]

Your nephew isn't Johnnie Walker by any chance?

His nephew created a PH profile to get him out of the stink.
