Thread: Car Finance - New Financer - wrong details

I am three years into a five year repayment for my car. I took the Finance offered from the FIAT dealership on a new car and everything has been fine, payments made etc - no problems. Earlier this year the Finance company changed from Fiat Finance to another company which I have since found out is owned by GE Financial Services.

Now this maybe just a company name change and the finance may have always been coming from GE, I don't know other than before hand all paperwork was plastered with the word FIAT. Last month I had a bit of a blip with my bank and my Direct Debits did not get paid (Bank's fault - I had asked £100 to be transferred to another account they transferred £1000 !) Bank has agreed to pay any charges which turned out to be only from GE (£26 for late payment - 3 days).

Anyway while in conversation with GE and paying the late fee I made an interesting discovery, confirmed with paperwork received at my request from GE. The car registration number is incorrect.

I have checked my original paperwork and my original agreement and it is correct on all those documents but GE have definitely got the wrong car reg.

Anybody got any idea where this leaves me? Is the 'new' company agreement legal? Should I stir things up or leave well alone ?

Any ideas / advice would be welcome.
