Contract had different Registration Number on to the car

on behalf of new user


Hello i purchased a car over two years ago under hire purchase after looking at the hire purchase agreement recently i realised that the car i bought should of had a private number plate as that is the plate on the contract i signed. i remember being told by the dealer at the time that the car had a private plate but it was not on the car at the time and i totally forgot about it until i checked the agreement. I am now confused about the validity of the contract and if i will own the car at the end of the agreement as my car has a different number plate than on the hire purchase agreement.
Also i am curious if the contract could be void as i signed to buy a car with a private reg (which in itself adds value to the car) and received a car with a standard reg. so the goods on the contract are different to the good i received any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

So you don’t own the private reg
As for the legality of the contract some legal beagle will need to help you
With that.
