Hi all as a newbie on here, I first apologise if this is the wrong place to post this.
I have had my caravan on the site where we wished to site it for the season, but due to a few family problems we have not been able to use the caravan.
Anyway long story short, I have been charged for the whole time full price for holding my caravan, even though we agreed that we can store it there for a price and then when we use it pay full price.
As I have not contacted him and do owe him the outstanding amount, he will not let me on the site and says that he is with holding my caravan until I pay him the full price. As per our agreement we could not stay on the park for longer than 14 days maximum at any one time due to his licence conditions.
Can anyone maybe help, or point me in the direction of someone who could.
turn this on its head.
A seasonal pitch is normaly 6 months, usualy classed as the season, the rest of the year is off season and classed as storage. some sites are 12 months
a site owner would require you to pay for the season and then pay a storeage fee for the rest of the year.
if your caravan has been on its pitch during the season then you would be expected to pay for the season.
i very mutch doubt that a site owner would agree to you only paying when you use it.
you say ( we agreed that we can store it there for a price and then when we use it pay full price)
and this to me sounds like the agreement you have made.
Without a detailed writen agreement to what you think he agreed to he has the right to sell your caravan to recover his costs.
Sorry to sound negative to your question but as above i can not see any site owner agreeing to letting you pay when you want o use it
If you mean that caravan was to be stored on site at storage price then placed on pitch only when required & then charged full pitch price you need all that in writing for agreement to be worth anything.
The site will have t&c's & may include holding of caravan in leiu of any outstanding payment. You need to post more details.
If it is simply stored many sites will require you to spend a certain number of nights there paying a pitch fee. The pitch fee will subsidise the storage cost.
If I read this correctly, your biggest mistake is not communicating.
People who are owed money need to know what's going on, and if they don't know due to lack of communication from/by the debtor, they get rather annoyed. For a start, they don't know if they're going to get their money, or when. COMMUNICATE!
