Help needed!!
Hi all,
I'm in need of some advice regarding the early termination of my Just Add Fuel agreement with Peugeot.
I took the scheme out last August, and at the time knew that a year later there could be the possibility of moving abroad, I was told at the time by the dealer that this wouldn't be a problem and that I was free to give the car back at no extra cost whenever I wanted.
I am now going to be moving away for 2 years from August so contacted Peugeot to begin the process of returning the car. The lady on the phone was very positive about it and said I would recieve a letter in a few days.
I just recieved the letter however which states that in order to return the car I have to pay £3,380 and that in order to return the car I have to send a cheque with that amount. I feel so angry because I was completely misled at the time of taking the agreement out to think that I wouldn't have to pay anything else (I have already paid a deposit and £217 per month). Had I been aware of this situation at the time I wouldn't have gone through with the agreement and I wondered whether I have any rights to avoid paying this. I don't have that money available but can't leave the car if I am away for 2 years.
Has anyone been through this or does anyone have any advice? I'm really worried about it

What does the contract you signed say? I suspect it might have a clause saying you can give the car back after paying 50% of the payments.0
