This was the 2nd vehicle purchased from the same salesman at the same dealership as previously they were fairly helpful and had the vehicle i wanted.A complaint had already been raised and a final response received, was given the option to get in touch with the Financial Ombudsman but not the TMO. My complaint was the way in which i feel i had been mis sold the vehicle and not the finance aspect, there was never an issue with this yet the Complaints Resolution Handler made the complaint about the finance. I have requested transcripts of telephone conversations several times and only been given the CRH summaries. I recently contacted the CRH on the 30/12/25 requesting the transcripts yet again and still await a response as of today. If there is a charge for the full transcripts of the telephone conversation i am happy to pay as i will be taking this matter further and will request recompense along with the time taken and distress this matter is causing myself and my family.

I made an enquiry about a CLA at Gatwick as looking for my daughter. I emailed/online enquiry asking if the vehicle had any stone chips, scratches marks etc. This to avoid a 1hr 30min to 2hr drive down to view the vehicle.We had a phone call stating its clean and no issues, so with this I said we will travel down. Well upon my arrival I could see a stone chip on the bonnet. Now this gives me the impression already I cannot trust the word from the sales lady. When I pointed this out to the lady, her reply is, "Well if its been on the road for a year then more than likely it will have stone chips, we will use a paint pen if asked to cover up" Now if I was told this on the phone call I would not have travelled and wasted my time. Yes the car overall was nice, but not being honest is wrong and deceitful.Even when I look at the car when leaving, another sales agent went out to video the car for another enquiry, now this is just a tactic to get a deposit down.

I’m hoping you can assist with an issue regarding recent work carried out on my vehicle. Thirteen months ago, the wet belt was replaced and a major service and MOT were completed at your Gateshead branch. I have since returned for the annual inspection, during which your technician noted a slight oil leak from the belt cover. As you will be aware, this component was replaced as part of the previous work.I have now been quoted approximately £1,250 to carry out the repair, just 13 months after the original work was completed, on a vehicle with a full service history that has covered only 3,000 miles since. Given the circumstances, I believe this should be treated as a warranty issue.However, after contacting the branch I was advised that this is not the case, and I was offered a very small goodwill discount, which I found quite disappointing.
