Hi

I purchased a car on finance, the finance provider is Advantage at the end of August 2017 (still within 6 months as of today)

 

Just before Xmas the car developed a fault (burnt out alternator which resulted in total loss of power without warning)

 

The AA tested at the roadside and confirmed the alternator was faulty (it was drawing over 130 amps from the battery) and recovered the vehicle to my home address

 

I had an operation over XMAS and was unable to get the car fixed until 2 days before new years eve. I purchased the new alternator myself (through an ebay seller) and had a local mobile mechanic fit the part

 

In total I paid around £140 for the repair (the alternator was £100 which I have a receipt for, the mobile mechanic took cash and no receipt!)

 

My question is as the car went faulty within 6 months and the AA tested the part as faulty. Are Advantage Finance responsible for paying for the repair costs?

 

I just spoke to them and they said since its already been repaired and they didnt authroize the repair then they wont pay for it

 

appreciate some help

nope sadly they would not be liable to refund you

 

however the retailer that sold you the car MIGHT have been under CRA

but as the alternator will be deemed a part that suffers wear'n'tear it would be difficult to nail them down sadly

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
