Car Craft HP agreement

[neil woods]

Bought a vehicle from Carcraft a year ago on HP, was given a price of which i agreed upon, but when bank statement arrived the price was a £100 higher than stated. So been trying to get money back for this. Also have seen there copy of the agreement i signed and on 2 parts which ask if you want additional coverage and extra cover it has my signature but i did not sign for these and my customer copy clearly shows this (which is the top copy)

Anyways after 12 months of rangling, they claimed the car back and now want the remaining money. money owing is £15,000 (they have even sold the vehicle for 10,000) but yet want all this money.

So any ideas where i stand, seeing as my signature has been (allegedly) forged on the documents for extra cover.

Thanks in advance for any help

As long as youve a true copy of agreement which is the paper part in original ink rather than the copy that is a duplicate ie the one below, you should be able to fight this one as it is evident that it is (allegedly) a forgery.

It is, it is the customers copy, i work in retail, and the top copy which has the ink signature nis allways the customers copy.

thanks

that should be all the proof you need to prove an (alleged) forgery

Thank you for that.

Please, please, please can we tread easy on the words used here and qualify them with an "allegedly" where needed.

Until it has proven in a court of law, the allegation of fraud is only that, an allegation, and posters put themselves and this site at risk of libel accusations.

Fair enough.

Anyways the Trading standards has now taking on this and may bring a case against them.
