    I dont believe this is an endorsement. An endorsement would usually involve a personal statement of recommendation which is lacking from that sentence.

    It appears to be a quotation from a Newspaper Article, I reckon it will have quoted with permission of the newspaper.

    Have you checked with the paper? Because the small quote is an exact copy of the article.

    At worst they have may have infringed copyright of the newspaper

    Did Quentin say those things in his newspaper article and are the factually correct?

    I'm guessing they're not playing ball with you because of this exclusion in their terms and conditions.

    The vehicle has a false vehicle registration mark (VRM) or vehicle identification number (VIN).

    Any complaint about using a celebrity would only be applicable to the celebrity.

    The paragraph on the screenshot correctly says he expressed his opinion that it could save you thousands. It does not actually say he endorsed it or recommended it.

    If you didn't use it because of what you supposed was an endorsement then what does it matter to you?

    If his name was wrongly used It is his problem to deal with.

    Nope it was from the address on the log book and correct id was given by the seller as stipulated on the car passport. Its not a B2B transaction although the check is available to car dealers. Another identical stolen clone car was soled from the same address a week previously and it now appears to be part of a criminal cloning gang in North London selling £100k of stolen cloned cars a week ..... The Car Passport has had issues with other cloned cars and I am not the only person to have this problem.
    I take it was a private sale. Caveat Emptor. I reckon Jack the Kad never invited you in for a cup of tea. Classic. Thanks.

    A few years ago I bough a house built by a national builder, who used a celeb flying in a helicopter. I never made money on it and want now to sue that celeb for misguiding me?

    Could be difficult. The celeb (Patrick Allen) died 12 years ago!
