Hi Guys,
I sent off a "letter before action" to him on Monday (2-6-08)giving him 14 days to offer compensation before I re-contact trading standards & instruct my solicitor to issue a claim in the small claims court (my wife works in a solicitors office)
Havent had any reply yet (about 9 days before deadline)
Have also sent details including pictures & 2 repair quotes (for about 2.5k)
to HSBC who's credit card I paid the bulk of the purchase price on.
As CAB told me they are jointly responsible for faulty goods along with seller ( so hopefully they will be contacting him too)
Have asked Darran to put asside a front end for me so I can get it repaired once I get some compo, its very frustrating having the car in the garage unused (i've only driven it down my drive from the transporter it was delivered on )
Still cant believe a rally specialist didnt check the car (was registered in his name, taken in p/x so would have thought he would have given it a thorough check to determine p/x offer (price he paid)???
Really do feel no sympathy if it does badly affect his business now, he knew I have 2 young kids & would be using the car, indeed I had originally intended to collect the car & drive it home (wish I had gone up there now )
