    Hi,
    Great news on the Tribunal. However i'm afraid you won't be able to claim back the cost of the car you bought. I'm sorry if this isn't the news you wanted to hear.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
