    hmmm, hope it works out for you but TBH it sounds pretty dodgy to me and I suspect you will be getting a final bill direct from Motonovo sometime soon.


    Good luck

    Keep us posted when you get another letter from them asking for another £1500.

    So why would you think there would be more charges to come?

    From the details in your opening post - lets hope that £100 you paid to the guy is the end of it.

    Good lucks

    hi Jackie,



    I guess you have deleted your OP as you've seen the comments and come to the same conclusion as the rest of us; i.e that you've been had. I do hope not but somehow I don't think we will be getting an update from you.


    good luck

    I vaguely remember they had a car with damage to alloy wheels and something else and the person who collected it told them it would only be £100 but the damage sounded like it was a lot more and the general expectation is the finance company would send a bill for the work needed.

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    and OP gave the collection guy the £100 so he has probably pocketed that

    Hi,

    I just wanted to post about my Volutanry Termination.

    I VT’d my car today with Motonovo, picked up by a 3rd party.

    I had a crack on my bumper and 3 alloys which needed refurbing. I knew these wouldn’t be classed as fair wear and tear so I was ready to pay something towards it.

    The guy turned up and gave me a bill totally £200 to cover it. Without even asking for some sort of discount. He said he is allowed to offer 50% discount if I paid today. So with the damage paying £100 I was more than happy.


    Car has gone and it’s all settled. Well until I have the confirmation letter from MotoNovo.

    Just wanted to post a positive story (so far) on a VT

    Sounds fishy...
