Hi guys,

I desperately need a quick advice. I have placed a deposit of 750 pounds in an used car over the phone after viewing it a few days before. I did not sign any contract or received a receipt. The salesman did say over the phone during my enquiry about the availability of car prior viewing, that the deposit is refundable should i don't like it when i viewed it. However, after much considerations upon payment of deposit, i decided i did not want the car. The car have scratches, and dents that needs to repaired (which was promised to be fixed by the salesman). No date of collection has been set and I have yet signed the contract of purchase. I have yet informed the salesman as he was unable to be contacted. The car is from an official franchise dealer.

Can I have my deposits back?
What legal right do I have?
What options do I have?

Will appreciate if you guys can help me. Thanks
