  • Is a verbal agreement sufficient for rejecting a car?

    Hi, similar to my previous post where I was initially thinking of rejecting the car during the cooling off period but several faults were picked up by the local dealership.

    I rang up the dealership where I purchased the car from and he was apologetic and accepted that they will collect the car and refund all my money. Is this verbal agreement sufficient or should I still email a letter to him stating that I am rejecting the car for the following reasons....?

    He is aware that I have now cancelled my insurance and I am not driving the car. We are on around day 13 of me having the car.

    If it is preferable to send an email, is this template ok to use?
    Thanks

    Always put it in writing.
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

    Litigants in Person should download and read the Judiciary's handbook for litigants in person: https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/..._in_Person.pdf

      Whether a verbal agreement is valid in law is much less important than having evidence to prove what was agreed. A verbal agreement is not much use if the other disputes what was said. So always put it in writing as advised by Atticus. A solicitor once said to me that the law isn't about whether you are right but whether you can prove it!
      All opinions expressed are based on my personal experience. I am not a lawyer and do not hold any legal qualifications.
