Has anyone dealt with this group in the past?

I viewed a car for my other half at this used car dealership early this week.

 

The car was priced at £6950 (approx); she liked the car and paid £1000 as a deposit whilst they applied for finance for the vehicle.

 

They came back with a finance arrangement that shows the amount to be borrowed as £6950 (or thereabouts) plus a whopping interest rate that puts the total amount repayable at more than £13k. The latter, I can understand, since she doesn't have good credit.

 

But the £1000 deposit seems to have disappeared in all this, but they say that it has been accounted in the finance agreement.

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

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...

On our initial visit to test drive the car, they tried to . They tried to sneak in an additional £600 towards a 2 year warranty. I clearly told them that we are not interested in the warranty. They asked for a deposit of £1000. The deposit was taken with a proviso, " subject to finance".

ANyway, when they cam eback with the finance offer, they had dishonestly added the warranty price despite us opting out of it.

 

The owner of the place is now refusing to return the £1000 if we cancel. It feels like he is bullying my wife into agreeing to the ridiculous finance offer or she loses her deposit!

Advantage finance.

 

I'd like to add that they financed my car three years ago and it was smooth. And the monthly payments were not too bad. The additional charges such a Acceptance fee, option to purchase etc seem to be inflating the price.

I think it was around the £140 range.

 

I must add that despite all the fuss I kicked up, the mrs has gone and accepted his offer because she needs a car urgently. :-/

If I remember gk it's part of a group of three with differnt names but same owners

 

Expect the warranty to be useless - brother in law had an issue with the flywheel on his a week after purchase

 

2 years later and it's been on the drive for nearly a year as everything it goes in for repair it gets bodged then they report it's fixed to the finance

 

ALas the brother in law "can't be bothered" to make a fuss as he has about 6 cars
