THE director of a mobility scooter company has been fined £5,294.
Michael Verby, 58, director of M Verby Ltd trading as MV Mobility, of Nanny Lane, Church Fenton, pleaded guilty to three offences and the company pleaded guilty to a further one offence for failing to provide cancellation rights to customers. The company was also fined £1,000.
The court heard that Verby had sold mobility scooters to consumers during visits to their homes in Sicklinghall, North Yorkshire, as well as Bridlington, Durham and Bishop Auckland, between July 2014 and June 2015 and had failed to provide a statutory notice of cancellation rights.
He also pleaded guilty to an aggressive trading practice after he told a customer in Bridlington she could not have a full refund when she cancelled her contract because the scooter was unsuitable.
