... even if it slips the cat c thing you could still argue that its damaged and is unsafe (especially if uou take it somewhere for an MOT explain whats happened and they fail it for you) mucho eyelash batting might be required   at least then if you take it back you have a good argument

How very prophetic!

I got a call from the HPI just a few moments ago and "Wonky" (the bike) has slipped the Cat C. It is officially not, a Cat C.

Even though the reason for taking the bike back was not hinging on the Cat C, I am gutted as this weakens the "not as described" argument!


This changes the game plan a lot. Any suggestions?

It not being listed as a cat c doesn't affect your claim, you now have the not fit for purpose argument, (sale of goods act).

Hope you have my email with the amended form  '>

Cheers, Dan. Looking at it now. I owe you at least a beer, I tell ya! This whole thing is stressing me out, but I am so glad to have you and everyone supporting me '>

LOL - I suppose there is the Supply of Goods and Services Act too, where they did not lower the bike as promised. If I had not INSISTED to have the seat carved, I would not have been able to ride it at all! There's L plates that they "forgot" to put on too - but I got the plates in the end and I am not holding it against them.

I am no Lara Croft nor am I anywhere close to being Xena. I  probably look more similar to the little Chinese lady behind a counter at a take-away shop, asking if you wanted any soft drinks with your chicken chow mein.

Modesty.  That's a terrific quality of yours Ronin.  I've seen you fight and so has Trouty.  He was there when you jammed Rez up and took control of that round, remember.  And boy, that was rough!

Careful guys, what Gloria looks like has no bearing on her abilities.  We all know that we should never judge a book by its cover.  An expression that I use a fair amount is "Don't mistake meekness for weakness".

Thank you, Aceman.

And never judge a bike by its registration number and mileage either.

 

A thought that occurred last night was, how did you pay for the bike? If you have paid any of the cost, even just a small deposit by credit card then you enjoy protection under the consumer credit act and then the credit card company have to get involved and then thier legal team has to do all the hard work for you.

Hi Dan,

"so I paid with my debit card without much haggling "

I missed that, my bad, but the advise is there if any one else has similar problems. I paid for my bike on my credit card when i bought it for the above reason.
