incorrect finance agreement

doobyduck_2

Hi,

I have recently purchased some furniture on finance. The documents were signed and sent off and the furniture has been delivered. I have just recieved a phone call to say the agreement is incorrect and I need to sign a new one. The total cost of the furniture was £1000 and I paid £200 deposit. The original agreement showed I had paid £800 as the deposit and £200 was entered as the balance to pay.

Is the company legally bound to honour the original agreement in which they made the mistake or should I do the right thing and sign a new agreement?

The supplier is entitled to be paid the agreed price for the furniture, which is £1000. If they are only going to be paid £200 by the finance company then you will need to make the difference up yourself. A basic error such as this does not entitle you to get something for nothing.

Not sure why you asked the question really because you aready appear to acknowledge what the 'right thing' is.

Unfortunately some people confuse the opportunity of pulling a fast one with money saving. Two entirely different matters.

Agreed, although I have yet to see any statement from Martin that distances himself from any form of condonement of the former. Happy to be corrected though.
