in Credit cards
Hi All,
Some advice required please!!
I recently bought a second hand car from a dealer, using my credit card for part payment. 5 days later, the clutch failed completely. The car had to get recovered at a total cost of £370 to myself. The repair bill is another £959. The purchase price of the car was £5700.
The car came with a 3 month warranty and they will pay £350 towards repairs. I have contacted the dealer who, through his legal company, have offered £350 towards repairs, leaving me to pay £259 towards the repairs. In total, I will be down circa £600.
Am I able to do a S75 claim for my outstanding losses? I would like to keep the car - all I want is my losses met!
Many Thanks All!!

If the garage is liable under the contract of sale then so is the credit card company.
Why have the garage and/or warranty company not settled/ denying full liability?0 -
The garage has to give you 6 months warranty with the car, Covered by them! Do not be fooled by the 3 months nonsense or them trying to shirk their responsibility with a third party warranty.
You should not have to pay anything towards the repairs. Sale of goods act 1982.0
