Barclays Partner Finance
Hello All, I urgently need your advice please!!!
Around March 2017 my partner took a car on finance from Barclays Partner Finance and was never defaulted on the regular payment.
About 2 months ago a friend who has been owing her some money called and offered to pay but said she’s not got cash with her but only a credit card she’s just taken.
My partner immediately accepted her offer and instructed her to make the payment to her finance account with Barclays partner finance since they do accept third party payments.
Lo and behold, this morning a guy came to the house claiming to be from a recovery company and demanded keys to the car stating that the lump payment was fraudulent and there’s been a chargeback. My partner immediately contacted Barclays who gave her the SETTLEMENT FIGURE which my partner paid fully like an hour later. The recovery still took the car away despite the fact that the finance have now been fully settled.
My partner has reported the fraudulent payment to action fraud in any case.
What happens now please? Will the car be returned?
