[Ugrent Advice Needed!] Cancel a signed HP before taking the car

xenon1339

Help needed please! Situation goes like this. I've decided to buy a used car and signed a HP on 27th July at the dealers and was looking to pick it up on 3rd August (£200 deposit paid) (they said they'd ring me to arrange time etc but they didn't, only was told the car is ready when i rang to try to cancel it), however due to personal circumstances i will have to cancel the HP and not to take the car.

Rang the dealer they say i cant do it as even they registered me on the car log book, but on my agreement it doesn't state anything like i have signed on premise but with a section "Your right to cancel" saying "once you have signed, you will have for a short time a right to cancel this agreement.. blah"

what is more interesting is that on my copy i cant find any date. and that it has not got my signature on but only their's.

any advice please?

P.S. I'm with Peugeot Financial Services
