Good evening all...

 

My car internals melted themselves on the way home last night.

I've since discovered from my mechanic it has been remapped and he is adamant this is what has caused the internals to fail..

. Corsa VXR in case you are wondering..

 

 

.ive spoken this evening to Moneybarn who only seem to be interested in talking about your 3 exit options...as if I don't know.

 

They are saying I have to prove the remap was on the cars ecu when I got it so I can go down the mid sold road as frankly if I'd known, I'd not have touched it.

 

I can't prove in any way shape or form that it was mapped prior to my acquiring the car so their unwilling to progress with a complaint to the dealer.

 

Please help as I'm now paying 250 quid a month for a melted Vixxer that's still gonna cost me 2500 to just hand back in it's current Nick ��

don't think VT was a good idea here

its still leaves you a millstone.

 

IMHO you should reject the car under CRA using the report your have as your evidence.

AFAIK a diagnostics box should also be able to show the date it was remapped.

Even a year down the line?

 

Turns out you can only read sci to see/read the file.

Only then will or can it show a remap but know way of telling when.

What would be the repercussions of me serving the VT in this instance?

 

Not sci but ecu...damn autocorrect!

trouble with VT is you are liable to the 50% mark

 

 

under CRA all you have to do is produce a report and/or evidence that reasonably prove the 'damage/fault' was there at time of purchase

I believe you can

 

 

ie PROVe I did the remapping.

they would have to prove you did the remap

 

you would have to prove it was there at purchase and caused the failure

 

the latter I feel is the more probable outcome

BCA will now contact you within the next 2 working days to arrange the appointment and the appointment must be carried out within a period of 7 days from them contacting you. Failure to action this will mean the appointment of recovery agents, the cost of which would be billed to your account.

That letter is a standard template letter. Follow through with advice given and the VT is obsolete.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Well...tiday I noticed 2 missed calls on the mobile whilst at work which was filled by an email from BCA saying the wished to discuss collection of the car and one from Moneybarn saying BCA would be getting in touch.

 

I replied to BCA via email stating where the car, key, logbook and mot cert were and was hoping they'd then tell me they were going to collect on such and such a date so I could be there.

 

But the next email I got was from Moneybarn stating they'd been informed by BCA that I wasn't complying and the were passing it onto another recovery agent for which I'd be billed blah blah blah.

 

Can someone on here and I do appreciate how helpfully and knowledgeable you all are, mock up a template for me to send back as I'm truly at my wits end here and don't have the knowledge to know how to fight it.

 

Many thanks

This is the response I got this morning...

 

What does it mean?

 

You will be liable for the balance under the half rule.

 

Once the recovery process has completed and we have examined the vehicle you will be provided with a final balance.

Our Recoveries team will be able to work out a payment plan with you.

 

Kind regards,

that's they want to spoof you into paying repo fee and restoration fees.

as they always do

they are a terrible company

however

you stick by your guns

stating that under VT they are not allowed to charge REPO and restoration charges which are as a result of std wear n tear.
