Typically, yes no cooling off period (on used car). However, there are circumstantial technicalities of law. However, from the OP reply, it I even more remote to launch any without clutching at straws. Nonetheless, legal challenges on other grounds is possible (might not be feasible): civil claim are notoriously unreliable!! Be it as it may, if the OP has a solicitor friend, maybe a 'demand letter' might do the trick. Well, that is if the 'trader' is not a perennial fraudster. [addendum] Small claim might also come in handy. However, the 'stress' of small claim or civil case might weary OP out quickly, especially when dealing with a trader that's a fraudster-for-a-livinh!

missjekyll: Lol. Resurrecting old threads, I foresee some more fire and brimstone splashed about later today, so shall be giving this thread some space. As a matter of fact, I think there's nothing derogatory or racist in referring to ethnic subgroups such as a reference to Arabs or people of south Asian or European origin. And I think the guy is quite correct in his terminology as he is referring to an African ethnic subgroup (I think he means the Somalis and Eritreans, those with the straighter noses and sometimes lighter skin) and they do generally have curly hair, which is different to the hair of most of us who are generally referred to as being of African origin. The most common African hair type is "coily" and not curly and is properly referred to as "tightly coiled". Easy to see why the confusion with pronunciation could arise . I gather from having taken one of those workplace diversity courses that "kinky" as used to refer to African hair is no longer acceptable, and the proper terminology is "Type 4" hair. 2 Likes 1 Share |

semmyk: That's the key point there. The effort and cost of a small claim might not be worth it, especially as the poster's claim is not specifically for fraud, because he wasn't defrauded. Like any other matter, the OP should count the cost (with all that he's got going on at the moment, do you have the time and energy to chase 200 pounds with an initial 35 pound fee and so forth), and decide whether its worth it to him, especially as this is not a clear open and shut case of fraud and/or misrepresentation. |

Lexusgs430: In our defence we paid for a lot because my wife had a limited window to fly, or wait another five weeks for the next cohort. So by the time we got to to flight we had already run out of money and had to scrape and borrow here and there and only managed to make the nonsense air maroc. Even paid for biometric slot imagine.

Lexusgs430:No wahala, thank you. But how come you know so many things about this obodo UK? Na for your mouth I first hear you dey advise person to open account with Coutts . That was my first time of hearing that a bank like that existed in the UK. Thankfully now you have moved to more "modern" banks like Chase and Revolut, perhaps due to cost of living crisis |

Suzam: Really we encourage the delays by paying people. Imagine if no one paid anyone. Also my mum went trhough the process recently and did everything online. Got the passport within 3 days. The guys there only grumbled because she did it online. If you need it urgently, consider other states where demand is lower or better still plan well ahead. Why will someone leave Ilorin for Lagos to process their passport? I would have thought the waiting period in Ilorin will be shorter. 2 Likes 1 Share |
