Hi everyone,That is ok, I realised that.
As you say the more pushing the better.

Glad you're sorted and well done for taking the fight to them.After yet another fruitless attempt to speak to someone in Blackburn & Darwen Trading Standards Office I eventually spoke to an anonymous person who stated that they do not take calls or speak to the public!
When I pushed the question of then "who does enforce the Consumers Rights Act in the Blackburn Area?" I was met with stony silence. If the Act is not enforced then it is meaningless.
Are you able to name the trader now you have your money back?Thank you all for your comments, regarding the sellers responsibility to take the car back, but unfortunately no one has told him!
Over the last few weeks I've had abusive replies to my telephone calls even slamming the phone down on me, the car trader flatly refuses to accept the return of the car.
I've now had to take legal advice and started a course of recorded letters informing him of my right to reject the car under the Consumers Rights Act 2015, but to no avail he's just totally ignoring his legal obligations.
It doesn't help when Blackburn and Darwen Trading Standards Office won't even reply to my request for their assistance.
If the authorities won't act when there is blatant abuse of consumers rights then Car Traders of this ilk, will take every advantage of the current situation we all find ourselves in.
I only wish I could name and shame him, but I've been advised not to as this may any effect any future legal action.
All I would say is that to check any car that is being offered for sale as thoroughly as possible and if in any doubt walk away.
I don't wish my circumstances on anyone.
No, I've been told that I have to hold onto the car as the seller may ask for its return. What the Bank unfortunately didn't say was for how long. They're very wary about the situation as ownership can be disputed.That is awesome!! Money back and an A2! Have the bank said you can keep it?
I know and it saddens me to own up that I had to buy another car very quickly, unfortunately not an A2 as there were none available within my price range at the time, especially as I had already paid not an inconsiderable amount out and was uncertain as to whether I would in fact get my money back. So (please don't shoot me) I bought a cheap, very cheap Renault Modus. The reasons for buying the A2 was because I had always hankered after one but I also I needed transport that I could use, as at the time I was classified Covid-19 vulnerable and was shielding. The whole situation had a marked effect on my ability to get around as public transport was out of the question. I will admit though the Modus has proved to be a great little car for what I needed it for and maybe some time in the future when things have settled into some form of normality I will again look for another A2.What a horrid experience but a good result in the end. I hope you find a great example of an A2 as they really can be a great car. Good luck
That's what I thought, but I'm hanging onto it until I get further information from my bank or the dealer contacts me!Basically you do not own it. You need to ask the garage to collect it by a certain date or it will be disposed of.

Yes, it's been languishing on my drive since August and currently SORN with the DVLA.Can you keep it off road? Dont leave it without tax or insurance on the road!
Thanks for that. It's something I hadn't even considered.Invoice the seller for storage fees at a reasonable rate but based on typical costs for such a service.
Send it to him as soon as possible so there is no dubiety about your intention to charge him for the service.
