  • Car finance

    Hi All,
    Am new to this forum, so any help will be much appreciated.
    I went to a dealer to buy a car for minicab, the dealer a arranged the finance, and I thought that was easy, then after 14 months of paying for the vehicle, I decided to change my car for another, this was when the finance company informed me that I was not suppose to be using my car for airport transfer/minicab.
    I was sent a default notice, I called the finance company to try to understand what was happening and to resolve the issue if I can, the finance company then, ask me to stop using the car for minicabbing and send proof that i have another job, which i did, as soon as the finance company received the proof of a second job, they then decided that my insurance was still minicabbing insurance so, the defualt notice will stand and they want back the car.

    I went to a solicitor, we wrote to the dealer, financial ombusman and the finance company . financial onbusman replied stating that , my recourse will be against the dealer as all the paper work was sign at their premises, and if am not satisfy with their reply, i should write back to then, we also wrote to the dealer and the finance company , both are saying the thing that i was not suppose to use the car for minicabbing , and that the pre-contract small print states that, the maximun milleage most not be over 10,000, but on the final contract agreement this chnged on my insistance to 30,000.

    Where do i go from here as i believe the only way to resolve this is by a court hearing.

    Regards
    Dafe

    I am sure someone with better knowledge will be along to give you some sound advice. I am no expert but I really think this is a bit fishy. Did you get written confirmation that the mileage was increased to 30k?
    If the contract has not made it clear you cannot use the car for minicabbing, you are under the agreed mileage and you have car insurance that correctly covers you I really cannot see how they can say you have broken the terms of the agreement -however I would wait to see what the clever hounds say!

    An optimist is someone who falls off the Empire State Building, and after 50 floors says, 'So far so good'!

      Following on from PAWS can you post up copy of your agreement?

        Thanks PAWS, the pre contract states maximum yearly mileage allowed is 10k in the small print, but when I signed the final agreement on completion, I made sure it was up to 30k miles a year, which both parties signed

          If you redact it, taking off all identifying details, it should be fine.
