Loan advice

I have a car loan from Duncton which is over half the term (I have one year left) I had arrerers, brought them up to date and wereback paying Duncton direct again. Despite several attempts to sort this - they have not taken a direct debit from me since April - the direct debit is live on my bank account but they are not taking the monies. I have now received a letter saying they want me to return the car + £6000! Where do I stand with this given I have called and advised them they have not taken the direct debits? Any help greatly appreciated!

    If you can bring the loan up to date again and it is their error then they are unlikely to be able to repossess the car - they can charge you penalties and charges for your arrears, but only their reasonable costs of bringing the account up to date.

    Suggest you go see them or put something in writing, sending a check for the missed DD's since April maybe?
