Hello everyone
I apologise in advance as this is completely unrelated to fiat.
I purchased a car this evening to find out I was uninsured as the dealer let me drive away this way.
This being one of the main dealers.
I went in to hand over and receive my new car (HAPPY). Obviously I received 7days free insurance which would be activated once the dealer printed off the documents.
I asked for the documents and was told admin had gone home and forgotten to print them so a little worried I confirmed with the sales rep what the insurance had said regarding the documents.
He then rang his manager who was sat at the other end of the room who informed him I would be fine and insured.
Deal done I get in my new car and drive home. Not quiet satisfied after thinking about it I rung the insurance company just to double check. Law and behold guess who's not insured.
Amongst all this I did not receive my green slip as again was told I didn't need it?? Is this right.
I have had to ring my current insurer to change cars meaning my next direct debit rockets to £118.
Does anyone know where I stand legally please
