We all forget things now and then. DVLA don't seem to forget things, they tend more to just ignore you.

It will be the head office. Would very much appreciate your story ??

'Bristol Street Motors' - catalytic converter needs replacing
Conniff replied to BK66's topic in General Motoring Issues
I would expect a modern catalytic converter to return around 100,000 miles but it can't be guaranteed. Is there any sign it bottom out on say a speed bump. Contact the finance company and ask them to contribute, after all, it is there car. -
Yea! him as well.

You've trapped DX, get in there

Don't try hiding the tricks of car salesmen and Arthur Daily sellers. As you know from experience, a seller is going to do the cheapest job he can get away with. No way will he make a loss if there is a cheaper way to avoid it.

cartaxenforcement.co.uk Registrant's address: c/o Demys Limited 33 Melville Street Edinburgh Lothian EH3 7JF Nothing new. The DVLA has dropped a clamping clanger Has there been a sudden 60%-plus increase in the number of drivers who are choosing to break the law and not tax their cars? Of course there hasn’t. Yet figures released to Guardian Money by the DVLA reveal that the number of cars clamped for tax infringements has leaped since October 2014 – up from about 5,000 vehicles a month to more than 8,000. It means that around 100,000 people will be clamped this year by the DVLA compared with 60,000 the year before. Many, if not most, of these drivers who will see their vehicle clamped and towed away will previously have been entirely law -abiding when it comes to taxing their cars. But they will be caught*out by poorly introduced rules from the DVLA. Read More ...

2nd hand car bought found to be unroadworthy
Conniff replied to zoe27's topic in General Motoring Issues
Sorry OD, the seller is responsible private or not. He should have checked out the claims he was making in the advert. -
It won't cost them £1,200 if they don't count the labour. I hate these sort of businesses and their cowboy repairs. Will they just use a Radweld type of sealer and hope that makes it look as if they have done the repair, if so it won't last very long. If the head is warped, will they have it skimmed, you can bet your life no. Will they use new head bolts as recommended by most manufacturers now, more than likely not. Will they replace any seals and belts they disturb, very unlikely.

Lets add another person into the equation and make it even more complicated. It really isn't complicated at all. They bought a car, they had the opportunity to inspect that car before handing over any money but chose not to. That is not your problem. Whatever happens, don't stop making your payments. You can remind them that any payments you make on engineers reports will be charged to them and that you are doing this as a gesture of goodwill only. If you are really serious and want this settled, then get a letter to them today saying they have 14 days in which to sort out 'their' car or you will take it further.

Nice one as usual Stu.

Well obviously just a fob off and they got the tea lady to respond to you. Tell them, and don't mince your words and say it in bold, head gasket checks are 'not' part of an MoT doh!. Don't be afraid of them, you have the upper hand here and must write back (recorded) with the heading 'Letter Before Action giving them 14 day in which to permanently rectify this 'ongoing' problem or take the car back and refund all premiums paid to date. AAs DX says above, these are a Micky Mouse finance company and will do all they can to poo poo any claim even when proof is offered. Go for it

2nd hand car bought found to be unroadworthy
Conniff replied to zoe27's topic in General Motoring Issues
Sorry, I don't agree with your interpretation. The act says "no person shall supply ", it does not say 'no owner'. It then goes on to say: "references to supply include— (a)sell, (b)offer to sell or supply, and ©expose for sale." The person offering the car for sale was the seller. Whether the owner knew the car was unroadworthy or not is debatable but the seller is the one responsible for ensuring the car met current regulations. I would name both the seller and the owner on any court action. I agree the MoT is a separate matter and should be taken up with the relevant authority. The failure itself can be used as part of the evidence for a full refund which should include any consequential spending. Print out your text and submit it as part of your evidence. -

NIP letter missed /not received - Help?
Conniff replied to fran1phil's topic in Speeding and Motoring Offences
Hello Fran. No, you haven't done anything wrong. There are lot who can help you with this but they could be away for a few days or have some commitment that is keeping them away. I know it's urgent, but I'm sure someone will be along as soon as they read your dilemma. I've move your second post to your original to keep them all in the same place. -
Of course they did, that is how they operate, see one person use it twice in the same day and they ditch the first leave and the second arrival. It's done purposely to rip-off motorist and make illegal fat profits. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/news/grandad-fined-for-staying-too-long-at-mcdonalds-despite-spending-less-than-30-minutes-there/ar-AAihXWy

Issues with a new mattress- unable to return/exchange
Conniff replied to 8rlarus's topic in General Retail
I'm not sure exactly what help can be offered as no one here has seen the mattress nor would they be able to determine if what you are complaining of is within the tolerances claimed by the seller and the manufacturer. All I can suggest is that you let this inspector see the mattress and if you are not satisfied with his determination and you still believe it is faulty then you can only bring in your own expert to do an examination. You can by all means make a report to Trading Standards, but they, unfortunately, would be in the same position as adviser on here. Trading Standards only issue advisories and rarely take up cases personally on behalf of consumers. If they have similar complaints on record, then they will act but on their own behalf. -
walmersley trade centre - 2nd hand car clutch gone
Conniff replied to mattshipley's topic in General Motoring Issues
So you bought a car and noticed that the clutch was slipping after just three days but continued to drive it. You should have returned to the seller immediately you noticed anything wrong. You have paid yourself to have a clutch fitted and the dealer will accept it back but not give you a full refund. He is having a laugh, he will be able to sell the car with confidence that there is nothing wrong with the clutch and probably charge even more than he sold it to you. What is the state of play at the moment, has he definitely agreed a full refund minus the log book fee ?? Are you still driving the car ??
