Error on Finance Agreement

Hi - I have just got a settlement figure through for a car agreement that I wanted to pay off as I want to buy another car. The only thing is, the registration on the agreement is a different car, the garage sold me a car unfit for purpose originally and changed it 3 months later but do not seem to have changed any of the finance documents - I have not signed any other agreement for the car I have - Am I liable to pay?

    Do you have the car? If yes, then pay.

    No - I do not have the car on the agreement - the garage changed it for another.

    Stop paying, keep the car and claim the agreement is null and void.

    Great result.










































    Now just bloody pay it, you got the car didn't you ?

    Some kind of split personality - not much help really.
  • Well lets put it this way if you don't pay = they come round eventually to repossess the car - after all its not the car on your finance agreement is it?
    Comprende!

    they replaced the car, the car will be registered on the hpi register which makes it not yours until paid

    You sometimes know exactly where a thread is going just by the title...

    'Name misspelt - can I sue'
    'Raining outside - is loan enforcable?'
    'got a car, don't want to pay loan back, need support from people on MSE, can I claim?'
    etc etc

    They cant repossess a car for which NO finance agreement is in force. Do a HPi check and see what comes back

    Morally you should keep paying it as there is a innocent person driving a car with finance on it.

    The OP was asking for actual facts and not a judge jury and exocutioner type of answer.


    At least answer the question factualy. Then berate for the immoral outcome.
