Black Horse Finance - Getting out of agreement?

Can BH prove that they never told the OP that the moon was made of cheese?! As the famous saying goes - "Verbal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on"! You need something in writing from BH that proves what the salesman said or you are going to lose the battle.
As stated before, you can only surrender the car (assuming its a CCA reg agreement) if you have paid half of the financed amount. You can agree that BH can repo the car now and sell it but you will be liable for any shortfall on the sale.0 -
I feel really sorry for you - I found Black Horse the most difficult people in the world to deal with - I had car finance with them, and rang for help when I started having problems - I had paid, regularly, for two years and was told that my agreement was 'unregulated' which meant (their words) I had 'No Rights at all' :mad:
They made my life hell, for over six months, taking almost every last penny I had. Finally, and un-announced, they sent a 'thug' to 'repossess' the car.
They sold the car three months later - then started pursuing me for a £1700 'shortfall'. By that time I had found this forum and was a little wiser.
They did not get their £1,700.
I wish you better luck than I had in dealing with these 'unhearing villains'.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
