Can I claim back anything? YCC ~ DAF

[Thailand]

Hi,

I paid my agreement off early and saved a couple of grand, but I still paid them the GNP of Sierra Leone

I took everything except GAP insurance and stumped up a £400 deposit.

Having just had a quick look at saynotoyes - It appears that it would have just been added to the price of the car. RIP OFF MERCHANTS!!!

I have no documentation, but can remember my addresses and the car reg. Does anybody think its worth firing off a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)?? (I probably paid a couple of late payment fees.)

Any advice greatly appreciated

Thanks Bakedalsker for returning my PM, I now know the above wouldn't have occured.

what wouldn't have occurred ? the late payment fees ?

Yep, baked says the fees only started when YCC shut its doors - mine would have been around 3 years ago.

Yes the late payment fees only came about after YCC closed its doors as a sales operator. Provident lost around £122 million when it brought YCC to a close. We beleive they started using the late payment fee to recoup some of this loss. Alot of payment fees but these guys will try anything.

The deposit on the car is one of a few scams they did. YCC never put prices on their cars. By law all they had to do was put a sheet of the prices somewhere in the showroom. I know for a fact they did not do this at the showromm I went to.

How they played it was like this. Say a car is valued at £3000 and you put a deposit of £500 down. What they did was added the £500 onto the value of the car so it appeared on your agreement at £3500. You would not have noticed because they did not put prices on the car windscreen. Adding to the sales pressure of keeping you in a small no window room for several hours is how it help them to get away with it. Thoughs of us who have been through this experience know what I am talking about.

Thankfully they cannot do this to anyone else as this battle has been won but the war is not over. We will continue to be their for those victims of YCC to provide support for those who want it. We will have our big day and justice will prevail against one of the biggest business scams ever to hit our shores.

I feel better for saying that.

I remember the windowless room and the choice of 4 crap cars, the changing of staff for evrything, the pressure selling the lies and so on! so its official - I'VE BEEN HAD.

I also asked them to drive me home at the beggining because I had a fractured elbow - it 'wasn't a problem' - until I had signed on the dotted line and all the staff vanished.
