whilst I appreciate you got more money for your old car by selling it privately why did you spend all of the proceeds surely knowing that at least £1600 of it would need to be given to the garage?

That's what I'd love to know also.

why is it that you ask for some advice and then people think they have the right to judge you and accuse you.

i have given all the facts and asked for honest information and relevent opinions

thank you to the people who have done that as for the others why bother you do not know me and i am glad i dont know you.

Actually, the people whose answers you like don't know you either. Everyone, without exception has given you "honest information and relevent opinions, so really you have nothing to complain about. I can't see how you would leave the showroom without knowing - or at least get home without knowing, but even accepting you did not know the garage was £1600 down, you are morally obliged, so really, the problem boils down to what are your losses arising from this mistake and how can you put it right.

I could be wrong but from the OPs previous posts about 0% credit card I think they spent the money because they were going to then use the credit card? But now the 0% offer has finished so they wouldnt be able to do that?

It seems quite obvious what has happened.

Instead of giving them your old car ("worth" £1600), they were expecting you to now pay cash (given you'd sold it for cash...).

The rest of the finance was as previously agreed.

So, the sales guy forgot to ask you for the cash bit, which he's now realised.

I think this is quite clear cut, as the price you agreed with them is NOT what you have paid, so you do owe them this money.

Are you saying you've already spent the £1600+ you got from the private sale of your old car???
