rejeceting a vehicle

[martinwf5]

Hi everyone, new to the forum so here goes

11/10/2017 Bought a new car £5995 from a forecourt dealer
14/10/2017 collected vehicle
15/10/2017 emailed stating car was smelling of burning, vibrating on drive, and the seat broken,
18/10/2017 returned vehicle, seller not mechanic replaced disc and pads, and repaired door but damaged interior panel.
20/10/2017 collected vehicle
23/10/2017 messaged seller stating vehicle was still smelling of burning , all of the above faults still there.
23/10/2017 seller advised to find a garage close to home for independent inspection.
27/10/217 Independent garage inspected vehicle, and found disc and pads where fitted incorrectly as clips were missing, and drivers seat broken.
01/11/2017 Independent garage had to re book the car in for further investigation , and found the turbo was drawing oil, and diagnosed the turbo unit as faulty.
3/11/2017 Sent letter to dealer stating i was within my rights to claim a full refund and i would deliver the car back on the 09/11 as this is within my 30 days .

What happens if he won't give me my money back tomorrow 09/11 ?

Hi and welcome.
The trader has to make the refund according to CRA2015, sec 20 (15) :

A refund under this section must be given without undue delay, and in any event within 14 days beginning with the day on which the trader agrees that the consumer is entitled to a refund.

So you might not have the refund tomorrow!

Hi and welcome.

So you might not have the refund tomorrow!

Thats fine so do i leave the vehicle with the dealer or bring it back with me ?

and if after 14 days and i have to claim through court, can i claim for car hire, as i have already paid a deposit on a car , and this refund would pay for it in full.

Thanks

Martin

Yes, leave vehicle with dealer.
Do the necessary for keeper registration with DVLA.
Cancel insurance.

You can claim damages, but small claims in county court is always a bit of a lottery!
