hi there, my partners father brought a second hand car value £3499.00. he paid using his debit card. when i looked at his online bank, the car retailer had put it through the machine as £34.99, were does he legaly stand with this

I believe the seller can take the remainder at any point

I take it he has rang the seller to offer to pay the extra?

boysim34

no not rang the seller

Maybe ringing the seller is a good idea, it will prevent anything any money taken in the future

Why? Surely that would be the most logical thing to do?

Your partner's father owes the second hand car dealer £3,464.01.

the seller will have 6 years to claim back the extra amount owed!

Legally your father still owes the money, it is up to you to pay back straight away or wait for it to be taken. Probably be less stressful to just admit and pay right away before they do their books.

Unfortunately your father doesn't get the car for £35 beacuse of a simple mistake!

And the dealer can chose any moment in the next 6 years to take that money...best call and get over and done with what you're obliged to pay for the goods you have.

So you're looking for a loophole to avoid paying the balance?

I wonder how you would react if it was the reverse and they accidently overcharged you..

So if there was not a loophole you would not use it arcon5
