Send them letter of claim giving 14 days to refund the money. Then send a second letter giving them a further 7 days. Then issue a claim for the road tax refund.

Does this look ok?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently visited your premises on the basis of purchasing a car. I applied for you Hire Purchase Scheme to cover payment for the vehicle and paid £115 on the day for road tax on the basis the Hire Purchase would be accepted. Unfortunately the Hire Purchase Agreement was refused and I have contacted you previously about my refund of £115. You have stated that you will not be issuing this refund.
I only paid the £115 on the day in questions as I was advised that I could not proceed with my application until done so. At no point was I advised that these monies would not be returned if the HP was declined. At no point did I sign any contract stating this either.
I now require you to refund the £115 within the next 14 days. If you dispute that I am entitled to a refund of these monies, I request that you forward within the above mentioned time scale, a copy of the terms and conditions and any signed agreement in relation to the £115 and any subsequent amendments to those terms and conditions. These are requested under CPR Pre-Action Protocol 4.6(c), and failure to provide them will be brought to the attention of the court, should it be necessary to commence a county court action.

If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 7 days in which to reflect.
After that, there will be no further communication from me and I shall issue a claim at the expiry of the second deadline.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently visited your premises to purchase a car. I applied for Hire Purchase finance for the vehicle and on the basis that my application for hire purchase would be accepted I paid the sum of £115 on the day for road tax for the vehicle.

Unfortunately my application for Hire Purchase finance was refused and I was unable to proceed with the purchase.

I have requested a refund of the money I gave you for the purchase of the road tax for the vehicle but you have to date refused any such refund.

The payment of £115 was not a deposit and I was not advised that in the event my application for hire purchase finance was unsuccessful that the money would not be refunded.

I require you to refund the £115 within 14 days from your receipt of this letter. Should you dispute that I am entitled to a refund of these monies, I request that you forward within the above mentioned time scale, a copy of the terms and conditions and any signed agreement in relation to the £115 and any subsequent amendments to those terms and conditions. These are requested under CPR Pre-Action Protocol 4.6(c), and failure to provide them will be brought to the attention of the court, should it be necessary to commence a county court action.

If you do not respond, or you do not respond positively, within this time period, I shall send you a letter before action giving you a further 7 days in which to reflect.

After that, there will be no further communication from me and I shall issue a claim at the expiry of the second deadline without further notice to you.

Yours faithfully,
