Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have just purchased a used car, part exchanging my current car and have already paid the balance to the dealer. I am due to collect the new car tomorrow, but today was involved in a bit of an accident.
When I contacted the dealer they said they would not be prepared to wait for the claim to go through as this could take a long time. Are they within their rights to do this or do they still have to honour the agreement as I have already paid the full balance?
I imagine the condition of your car was part of the contract, so if the damage is slight they may still take it subject to some adjustment?
if however you cannot actually give them the car as part exchange the deal/ contract cannot be completed and you are the defaulter.
I guess the will refund your monies paid less some sort of administation charge/fee.
