Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I'm hoping for some advice and I can't find similar in the past forums! Here goes....
2 months ago, I purchased a car from a large car supermarket, using a deposit and finance. I feel that I was mis-sold the car as was told it had full service history and only one owner (2 year old car). This was not the case and find that it had 4 previous owners! Problems developed which led me to believe that their 'quality vehicle check' hadn't been done. Then after 4 weeks the car developed a noise so I took it 2 be looked at and was told that it had multiple problems caused by being badly repaired after an accident. After much too-ing and fro-ing, the company have agreed to settle the finance and refund my deposit.
I have now been without use of a car for 3 weeks, and feel that at the very least they should pay me for the payments I have made (over £500), which is more than I would have paid to hire a vehicle, considering that I have paid out a lot more for getting a report done on the vehicle amongst other things.
Do you think I should settle for just my deposit back and put it down to experience, and do you think I should report the company to Trading Standards for them selling vehicles that do not fit the Sales of Goods Act?
You have been sold a car with false advertising. TELL them you require a refund of payments made and you will not take the false advertising any further.
