24/8/2020 had it a month

Hey guys came across this site today wow how great is this anyway.  here is my story 

Car found on autotrader  £1800 merc  mot  vgc blah blah and stated had recon / gearbox fitted  / spoke to the garage selling the car and asked if they would take my faulty bmw in px it had issues which were explained to the garage 

he said £900 cash and my car ok deal done 

i drove to manchester in my car

the owner was all chat and praise for the car he was selling and told me how it dropped its oil from the gearbox and how they fitted a new gear box so i thought ok im all good to go 

deal done drove home 

its now 3 weeks later and the transmission has failed  green flag recovery  

i tell the garage this morning after looking into my rights and explained the situation

the person i spoke was trying to say its was his dads car and tuff luck buddy we aint helping u and telling me about the problems he fixed on my old car rather than help me with the current problem 

the call ended as was in mid speak when he just hung up on me i text to explain thats no way to treat a customer 

i have now written the standard letter as i found a template elsewhere  giving them 14 days to respond 

I would like a little help with a follow up letter or my route to action after 14 days  as i dont think ill be getting a reply from them 

regards patrick
