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.
Not too much of an inconvience as I had three days notice... although I do have to cancel the other hour of my booked up 2 hour lesson with my instructor. I've noticed that it is only if you are told on the day of th test do you get any compo' but surely you should be given a certain amount of notice as if I cancel within 48hrs notice I would lose my money, plus a day off from work etc
I am sure it is an inconvenience and you should feel a bit peeved, but as you say, they gave you 3 days notice. You have to give your instructor 48 hours notice to cancel to avoid the charge (we only ask for 24 as it happens), and I am sure your instructor would give you similar or offer a free lesson. Therefore they have applied reasonable rules in line with what you have with your driving school.
I am curious though why they have cancelled your test so far in advance. Usually it is due to bad weather on the day or an examiner phoning in sick, both of which they can't know about yet. If that had happened they would have re-booked your test automatically (for free), and let you claim for both your instructor's charge for the day plus any loss of earnings for taking the day off.
driving test cancelled ...
