Do we have any Legal boffs?
Long shot but are there any members who are up to date on English Consumer Law that could read a letter for me before I send it, just to check its correct?? Nothing to do with cats but just thought it was worth asking. I don't mind paying someone to help, the law I'm really interested in is Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. Basically some "being" has really ripped my lad off re getting his car through MOT. He is only 17 and in the Army, training to fight for this country and the consequences .....and took wrong advice from his Dad but .... end of the day his car is in such a state now that I have no option other than to put this through the Courts for him.
I'd really like someone just to check out the letter I am sending first; but if I have to take this further then ... well I may need to employ someone.
Any help / advice very welcomed xx

While consumer law is a "hobby" of mine I am not very good for time at the moment. I am happy to have a peruse, but can't say when.
My advice would be to pass it by either the CAB (if you have one nearby) or what's left of your local Trading Standards office - their national helpdline, Consumer Advice, is truly truly appalling and makes NHS Direct look like sainted experts. It's the price of a phone call but may get your more stressed than you started - everything is scripted, the call centre staff are ignorant and buck passing. Sigh.
Sorry. Ranting.

If you would like to send it over I am happy to see if I can help, and if I can't will point you in the right direction. Advice from the CAB is not always up to date or accurate. I am not a lawyer but have a legal background and deal with legal language as part of my business day in and day out.
