i asked him what does it matter how many ppl were involved in the build process as long as it passes the iva test and he didnt have an answer

I doubt very much if theres just one bloke that does it.
Resend it with valid receipts and fresh pictures, and i'm sure it'll just go through unnoticed.
He sounds like a right cock

I sent a covering letter, and a load of photos of the build - it was obviously done in my garage and steves back yard, even though I bought it part
built.
They didn't even ask for receipts, as I explained I bought it part built and the sale included the parts to pretty much finish it.
Covering letters are great things - if worded politely, are honest and the photos back them up I dont see why it wouldn't be successful.
People in these sorts of jobs dont get a bonus by refusing or whatever - they also dont get one for letting car through, so work WITH THEM, make their
job EASY and be friendly and I've found it works well.
Getting into a head on argument with someone, appealing decisions etc. doesn't work well, as they have nothing to loose and you have everything
to.

Thats all well and good when the person your talking to is reasonable not giving comments like 'you bought it part built thats your problem not
mine! I sent in full build documentation including over 60 photos and a file full of receipts. the paperwork was filled in corectly including the part
about the kit being started by someone else , are you saying i should just accept the fact iv spent £xxxx amount on a car not to use it on the road
just because some bloke who comes out with comments like that says so ?

I'm sorry but where has any previous comment said you should just do what you've said above. There have been some very constructive
comments which I for one will take some tips from. Maybe you just need to calm down a little and think about your next move with a fresh head. Tbh if
I was the person at VOSA and you talked to me in the manner of your last post you would get nowhere.
Sorry if this offends it is not the intention.

Surely VOSA can't change the rules if law states something else?

Law says construction must be done by an amateur, VOSA have to implement that and get to decide (and change if they think fit) what evidence is
acceptable that a build is truly amateur.
I saw somewhere that a few companies were trying to skirt the law by building cars completely (maybe leaving a few minor components to be fitted) and
delivering them to the customer to SVA as an amateur build. So things got tightened and photo's of the build were required. Maybe some other
scam with receipts has been pulled at some point.

tcr, I think it's time to destress.
Look upon the incident as a trial run, like a failed IVA, reapply putting into practice the advice in this thread.
This is what I did/would do; Make out a new receipt, rewording it to:
Sellers name, address and date
Received from "whoever" the sum of £whatever for MK Indy kit of parts (see what I did there, no mention of part built )
For full inventory please see attached
Then get together the original receipt and all the receipts you have, sort out all the ones with your name on and put to one side.
Make out the above receipt and then list the complete MK package as in the kit, plus all the other bits not in your name, make a list for the
attachment and take it to all to the seller for him to sign, including the list.
If you cant get in touch with the seller or he will not do it, be a little creative
If you don't have a photo of the stripped down chassis, Google is your friend.
You are about 20mins away from me, so if you need help you are welcome to pop over for any help I can give you.
