beware when buying new motorhome
I bought a new Hobby Motorhome from E S Hartley,
motorhome dealers of Ings near Kendal, days later I received
an eMail from the makers Hobby telling me that I did not own
the van as they still did. because they had not received
payment from Hartleys, and that Hartleys had registered it
with the DVLA using what Hobby described as a forged CoC
certificate. It took some time to sort things out and confirm
that I had not lost all of £45,000. I had to re-register the van with DVLA. As I did not own the van for a
period my insurance cover was invalid as it did not cover me
for a vehicle I did not own. I was also fobbed off that only
ONE set of keys came with the van and that the second usually
came direct from Ford> Then I was told by them that the keys
would come from Hobby. Later E S Hartley "found" the keys ans
posted them to me. Hobby Germany suggested in an eMail that I
press Hartleys for compensation , but nothing is forthcoming
... not even a "sorry", and thats over 12 months later.
