Refund from finance company

So I brought a sofa from scs, it's been repaired 4 times, after going back and forth over 2 years they are giving us a refund, I have it on finance with creation as it was o% finance, so my question is when they pick up furniture and cancel finance will I get all my money back that's ive paid in the last 2 years from the finance company

  • No. If SCS are giving you a refund, you'll already be getting your money back.

    Generally but not always the retailer will refund you and then its your responsibility to contact the finance company you got the finance from and pay them any balance owed 
  • I've had an email from scs saying that they will cancel finance then the finance will give it back to me, but because scs have lied so much I just want to make sure this is correct.

    Make sure you save any emails like this from SCS just incase you've to refer back to them at any point 
    Hopefully it'll be sorted smoothly for you

    There are no interest charges so there is no additional cost for finance.  SCS should be refunding you and it's then up to them to sort things out with the finance company.
  • Yes I was thinking this thanks

    This is legally incorrect, the OP didn't pay SCS any money, creation finance paid SCS on OP's behalf, so SCS need to legally refund creation finance as creation paid them and then creation can pay you any moneys owed and cancel your credit agreement

    The finance company are equally and severally liable for the breach in contract so I see no reason why they are dealing with this in this way.
