I placed a deposit on a motor home but discovered it wasn’t a listed conversion so I asked for my money back. The garage refused to do this, but said they would hold my deposit for six months so that I could use it to buy another vehicle. Is there any way I can get my deposit back?

It will depend on the way the motor home was described by the garage and whether misrepresentation was involved. If the garage claimed it was a listed conversion when it wasn’’t you will be entitled to your money back. But if the vehicle was sold “as seen” it was up to you to check on the motor home’s particulars before you contracted to buy it. You will probably be better off selecting another vehicle.

A month after they arrived the arms on one of them were coming loose and the manufacturing quality was much poorer than the suite in the showroom. That settee has gone back for repairs, but the second settee is now as bad: can I demand my money back?

I was sold what I thought was a month-by-month gym membership. I discussed it in detail with the gym, and was assured I could cancel my membership at any time on a month’s notice. However when I decided to pull out recently they told me I couldn’t cancel it until I had been a member for a year. Is there anything I can do?
