Car finance documents

Can anyone help?
I picked up a car from Arnold Clark on Monday on finance with Vauxhall finance, conditional sale. Before picking the car up I was told the finance had been approved. I took all relevant documents, signed everything I needed to etc and took the car.

I'm now being asked to provide more documents. Is this right? I'm confused as to why they're still asking when one, I was told everything was in order and the finance had been approved etc and 2, I managed to drive the car off the lot.

Thanks

    What additional documents are they asking for and who exactly is doing the asking?
  • They're asking for bank statements, which I already sent over to them. And Arnold Clark, they said the finance company is asking for them.

    Approved or approved in principle?
  • He said it was approved and the car was mine, now he's asking for documents that I've already provided

    I think you're missing something. It would have been way better if you asked them why they need the documents that you have sent previously. These are some basic questions that a person should ask before creating a topic to look for the answer.

    Exactly my thoughts.
  • I did ask, thanks. All they said was that they needed them for the finance.
