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.
Rito, a mate of mne just bought a car aprox 4 weeks ago through a garage. Since buying its had two electrical faults of which my friend had to pay half towards and now another fault of which my friend ha now tried returning the car unfit for purpose.
The garage owner would not rufund and moneys paid and said that he would have the car put right but my friend would have to take it to two different garages for the work to be done.
Am I right in thinking my friend would be protected by the the sale of goods act and if so what would be the correct proceedure for my friend to get back his money? He was told there was no fault with the car however there is no mention of warranty in any paperwork.
Depends on what the failures are. If just a bulb then tough, but if a unit failure the garage should be covering the cost. If it is a real garage then they will know this.
The first failure was a dsi unit which failed. This totally imobilised the car and cost £190.00 to put right. The second fault caused all the lights and digital dash board to fail and the third fault is now a water leak which has caused the temperature to go ski high and this will no doubt have causd further damage to the engine as there an aluminium head.
