Hi I took 20 h of driving lessons for my son with Karl Meredith then took another 20h the practical test was booked for mid December and so we used some hours but had left 1 hour and half left for the test day but the instruktor said that my son is not ready after almost 40 h...And he will not take him to the test with his car because he cares to much for his reputation..... So it was very upsetting because my son really wanted to take a chance.. So we cancelled the test and asked him to refund the money for 1 hour and half left which is almost 50£... And guess what??? He refused saying that he can give him a free of charge drive to Peterborough and back.... But I was still asking for the refund.... Didn't refunded.... Just ignored my request...Very disappointed always thought he is an honest person but was wrong. P. S. Always paid him in cash so he don't have to pay taxes.... But he didn't apriciated it.... And wasn't honest. Very disappointed don't recommend... Never pay up front to your instructors.. You think they will be honest with you but they not.... Especially at this hard times..... Where every penny counts..... Very upset....
