Hi Clipped wings
To be honest up until the start of this year I always had it in mind I’d have to budget for a new hoist but then reading the adaption price list back then I seen your able to transfer for free so I’m thinking “great news” then as time nears they whip the carpet out from under me and then I get the feeling their letting me down along with my other bug bear paying a premium for automatic gearboxes when my disability dictates its a must have disability driving aid.
With the 3.5 year warranty I did wonder what happens if the delivery of your new car was very late like many are now, how would that impact on the 3.5 years and again reading Motability guff on this it does say they take into account the delayed time.
That’s all very well telling us what can be done but makes but sense when the adaption prices does not give a costings for the transfer and makes out they got your side when in fact there’s no such thing and the readings in their guide is nothing more than off the cuff remarks just to make everyone feel good and that were being looked after. I’ve grown to expect that from British politicians but not from Motability. They will look after you because its written in law, laws or guides that they make but then make up excuses like late delivery of cars so your hoist is out of warranty or whatever but all I ask for is honesty and if I have to pay for a new hoist, so be it but don’t tell me I can transfer for free then change your mind because either you can or you cannot, what’s it to be.
No reply back from Motability in regards to this matter yet but maybe their stalling and looking for an answer to this big gaff on their part and I already know what there going to say “you can always apply for a grant” but sorry I’m already fed up with the DWP rifling through my bank accounts because I’m on pension credit, without Tom, Dick and Harry joining in.?
