On 14 August 2011, my partner contacted a mainland dealer regarding a vehicle he had seen on the internet which he wanted to view. As we live in Jersey, we were told that a 10 per cent deposit would take the vehicle from the forecourt until we could arrange flights to come and view it. A payment of £1500 was therefore made over the telephone. The following day we found out that we were expecting a child and decided that, given this added expense, we were no longer in a position to proceed with the purchase, and rang the dealer to explain our situation. To cut a long story short, the dealer is refusing to return the £1500. I have spoken to the manager by phone, and he was to look into my claim and return my call. I am still waiting 4 months later. I have already sought advice from a solicitor friend, Citizens Advice and Trading Standards and have so far proceeded as advised by these intermediaries. What do you think I should do?
