  1. I purchased a car on 24/07/2012 from a local garage in my hometown, Leyland, Lancashire. When I got the car the oil pressure light came on when the car was ticking over. I immediately took the car back to the garage, I was told the car was OK to use until they could get me into the garage a week later (they use a third party garage) A few days later the car began to sound very loud/rattley. I also noticed that leaving the stereo on for 2-3 mins after turning the engine off would drain the battery so much the car could not be started. Again I told the garage this straight away and they said they would book it in the garage when they could. Finally, they booked the car into the garage for 13th August 2012, after many attempts of contact. xxxxxxxxxx lent me a small Ford KA. The car has been with the third party garage ever since. I have repeatedly called xxxxxxxxxx for updates. I was first informed that the garage was inspecting the car, and that they would provide an update later on that day. I did not receive the call as promised and had to return the call myself. I tried calling them again over the following days and was continually informed that the garage was still trying to diagnose the fault. Following this, I was told mixed stories, that a part had been sent off, and that the garage was still investigating the engine. My car insurance policy only covers me to drive a car lent by a garage for up to 7 days. I had expected the car back by this point. I had to pay a £36 insurance premium from my insurance company, to insure me for following next 7 days (20/08 – 27/08). Again, numerous phone calls were made to chase the progress of the repairs and excuses were made. I have again had to pay another £36 for the current week (27/08 – 03/08) on top of the high premiums I pay every month regardless. I again called xxxxxxxxxx today to chase the progress of the repairs. I was informed that it was their day off and was given the direct number of the garage. I did call the garage directly who told me that they had not done any diagnostics on the car and that they were waiting for a space on their engine stands. I was lied to and I have lost all faith in the garage and the car and am seeking advice regarding rejection of the car. I understand under the SOGA I may be able to reject the car as it is less than 6 mths since I purchased the car. All advice is greatly greatly appreciated. Many thanks
  2. No no, you missed some out, it's not: "will be deducted from your bank account", its "then no funds will be deducted from your bank account" I think we have the rights to the overdrawn charges, and if it is out of date then its their faulr, right?
  3. Ok I know what you are saying, but however, I made they payment, and cancelled instantly. Now if it didn't say "If a refund is requested within a few hours of the transaction, then no funds will be deducted from your bank account" on the PP website then fair enough, but it does say that. it was cancelled by myself within 5 mins
  4. Are you a business seller or not? If you are you have NO chance whatsoever
  5. Hi we thought that then when reading what we signed and paid for, apparently, we are only paying for the rental of the lockers, nothing mentioned about property in them. Could be a good or a bad thing I suppose?
  6. Hi I'm new here Either on Tuesday 9th December or Wednesday 10th, my school locker was forced open. My PE kit (worth around £90) was stolen. I went to the headteacher today who said all we can do is ask the PE dept to do spot checks on PE kit's with names. We pay £5 a year or £20 for all the time were at the school for the lockers and there is a video camera in place, but it is facing down a corridor making no use when it could be rotated to point the lockers and the people who did it would now have been punished. Do I have ANY rights at all, I'm thinking I should because we paid for the facility? Thanks for any help you can give me now. Luke
