Car Craft - Car Loan

212
212 Posts: 241 Forumite
Hi,

I bought a car with carcraft and was given two finance agreements

One covered nearly all of the cars purchase price, and on a HPI check it shows up as finance outstanding with them.

Company B lent me a massive £500 towards the car. That was then boosted to £3,000 when I signed up for some 5 year warranty thing.

My assumption was both were tied to the car (due to the £500), but now I'm wondering do Company B actually have any right to the car? Or is it essentially a personal loan like from a bank?

On my Call Credit credit report company B shows up as £3,800 owing, account type: Unsecured loan.

    The 2nd agreement maybe the warranty. Good news (if you have a hamster) Shred that and use it for bedding.

    Probably its only use.

    Thanks, not sure where they are. Carcraft have never been the easiest to deal with, so don't expect a replacement!

    Was just wondering whether it was technically possible, since £500 of the car money is on the 2nd agreement. Will have to have a look for the paperwork
