As a result I've got out of the contract but it's cost me both the deposit
and the 'insurance'. Unfortunate - yes. But next time I'll read the small
print...

Sewyn, read your copy of the conditions very carefully. Look for a clause
with "termination" or "cancellation" in to make sure they are not trying to
pull the wool. If there is nothing, try having a word with the trading
standards people or perhaps citizens' advice. They should be able to point
you at someone who can come up with the rules about cooling off periods for
contracts signed in the home. It's worth a couple of phonecalls and you
might find you are entitled to a full refund. On the point of insurance,
what are they now insuring? You cancelled it so soon after the order that
they can't have put work in progress. I think they're being a bit naughty
there. OR I may be talking rubbish. But it's worth a try.

Good luck!


By the way, I think these high pressure salesmen who have quotations that
are valid for only one night giving you no time to shop round are unethical.
That approach should not be legal. I've had several come up with that tale
and it is very difficult to think straight. They start with a huge price and
make their still inflated, if reduced, price look like a bargain. They are
only after one thing ...... your signature. I am starting to learn, but it
has taken me many years.
