Re: Rejection of Vehicle AB12 CDE

I am writing to formally reject the vehicle purchased from you on 15 January 2025.

The vehicle is not of satisfactory quality due to the following fault(s): engine warning light, loss of power.

Consumer Rights Act 2015, Section 22

Right to reject within 30 days for full refund

Please confirm within 14 days that you will collect the vehicle and process my refund.

Yours faithfully,

John Smith
