LONG backstory please bear with me. I started my driving lesson a week ago and was really unsure of whether I wanted to stick to the driving instructor afterwards. This week I decided to change to another one and informed my driving instructor.
My driving instructor was apparently fine with it and texted me 'okay'.
However today he sent me a long arse message about how I owe him
a. £40 for having broken his car seat ( he kept telling me to pull harder to adjust my seat and when I wasn't pulling hard enough, he kept pushing me to pull harder till something broke maybe. He said it's okay and will get it fixed.)
B. £42 for the lesson after mine that he had to cancel due to the broken seat.
C. £40 for not having informed him within 48hrs notice of me not wanting to take lessons anymore from him. However he never mentioned this cancellation charges to me.
There was no contract signed between me and him, my provisional driving license had not come through the post yet which is maybe why no contract? Not sure about the procedure tbh.
The reasons why I didn't want to proceed with my lessons with this instructor are because
He kept yawning and looked uninterested throughout the entire lesson.
He pulled up at a mosque to pray for 15mins during my 2hr lesson.
He finished my lesson 15 mins early and waited at the next student house during those 15 mins.
He kept texting while I was practising steering and telling me to stop, he needs to send a message every 5mins or so.
I have clearly told him that I am not liable to pay him anything but he insists I do and that he will get his solicitor to contact me.
Am I BU and getting into this crap for nothing or is he?
Totally ready to be flamed if I'm being U
