Hi,
Will try and keep it as simple as possible but I am basically looking at what my next step should be. do I have a claim worth of a small claims court for example.
I had a dealer who organised my original lease car, was happy with the service so approached him when this was coming to the end to get a different car for me.
We agreed my car would be used as Part exchange to clear all outstanding debts on the fianance. Have evidence to prove this was what was agreed.
Signed for a new lease on this basis.
Took delivery of new car and he took old lease car away.
Turns out this car sat on his forecourt whilst he tried to sell it and the payments and outstanding finance was still my liability.
Ended up having to take a loan out to buy the car outright before it got repossessed and taken to auction and sold for minimal price. I managed to sell privately but at a cost of £2k less than the loan I had to take out so thats what I am out of pocket.
Is far more detail but feel as these are the important points. Have basically been lied to all along and in my view with what he knew when he took my first car from me when delivering my new one then he effectively stole that from me.
Small claims court best option?
