Help: Seller has my money and refused to sell a cb750 :(

Hi,

Hoping someone might offer me some advice on a tricky sale situation that has currently left me very out of pocket.

3 weeks ago I brought a cb750 via Biketrader from a private seller which I was very excited about. I paid a £250.00 cash deposit, we both signed an agreement (included signatures, total cost and total paid at the time, sold as seen etc etc). I also filled out the v5 and was given by the seller the new keepers slip. He also gave me all documentation like previous receipts, tax, old mot's etc. I also have text messages confirming all of this, my girl friend also witnessed the sale.

I agreed with the guy a courier would pick the bike up in 3 weeks time (which would have been today) and the rest of the cash would be paid on collection. Yesterday he called me telling me he would no longer sell me the bike 1 day before. I have had to let the currier down at short notice which was embarrassing. He has offered to give me my deposit back if he can come to my address and pick up the documents (which I am not keen on him visiting my house).

Not sure about my rights here? can anyone offer any help? :(

Trigger:
Legally you have only put a deposit down on a item, the seller has the right to pull out of the deal at anytime, the same way that you have the right to pull out of the deal at any time (though you would of lost your deposit) My advice would be to take your deposit back and move on. If the seller wants his documents back and you wish your funds back, you could always meet in a public place like a pub or outside your local police station.

thank you for your advice, hopefully I will get it resolved. Such a shame, I don't have a bike now which sucks! I will just have to keep looking.

Name and Shame...

Include details like email address and actual address so that anyone who Googles it will find this thread.

As long as everything you type is accurate and true, they can't touch you. I've had to defend this site before against a dealer who threatened to sue me for something one of the members had posted. You can't sue a website and suing the poster is a waste of time as long as it is true (and provable)
