Good Morning All,

 

I appreciate you are all busy people but I need to pick peoples brains over my finance agreement with Moneybarn.

 

I have a Regulated Conditional Sale agreement with Moneybarn.

 

 

The details of which are as follows

I bought the car for £12,142.30.

I paid £1152.30 as a deposit.

Leaving he total to be financed as £10,990.

Not a problem so far.

 

I got into some financial trouble with an ex,

however despite paying late every month, I always paid.

They stuck a total of £275 for non payment by direct debit and notices sent to me, which I obviously paid.

 

before my payment in May 2014, I had paid a total of £5533,95 ( This is from my statement of account )

 

I then paid my payment for May, June and July, which means I have now paid £6679.40 of my total amount.

However I have not paid Augusts Payment due to financial problems again,

which will be 2 months payments come 3rd September.

 

The financial problems were caused by being dismissed from a well paid job due to some personal reasons.

I have since found another job, but needed a month to get back on my feet.

Now I can afford the car, once I have sorted myself out again,

but was wondering if Moneybarn will spread my outstanding payments over 3-4 months on top of my usual monthly payments?

 

Also am I protected by the 1/3 rule in relation to repossession of the vehicle?

It is causing me some issues as I don't want to lose the car.

 

I am worried about what Moneybarn will say, as I have read loads of horror stories.

Paying off the arrears over 3-4 months is not a problem at all,

and I may be able to clear it quicker,

but I just needed some advice and if possible a letter template,

as I am not very good at this kind of thing.

 

Thanks for your time

Your car is statutory protected goods.

You are well over the 1/3 mark and Moneybarn would need

 

to go to court for a return of goods order to repossess

 

Approach them to see whether they will agree to your proposals

 

To abide by FCA guidelines there is no reason why they shouldn't

 

If they do issue a default notice, consider a time order

Hi there,

 

 

you should write to them (by recorded delivery - MB have a habit of "not receiving" letters!).

 

 

Advise them of your loss of job and that you have now found new employment but will not be paid till end September.

 

 

Work out what you can afford to pay extra each month to clear the arrears and offer them that.

 

 

I can draft a letter for you if you wish ?

  • 3 months later...

Hi All,

 

I posted a while back about some potential problems with Moneybarn, but managed to keep going without any issues.

 

However I have had to change job to a much better paid job again recently,

and due to this finally for the first time, fell into 2 months arrears a few days ago.

 

I have messaged and sent by recorded delivery an offer to clear the arrears over a maximum of 6 months

( hopefully much quicker with this new job )

but have yet to hear from them.

 

My 2 months arrears fell on 2nd December and I have still not received my default notice, which surprises me somewhat.

 

My concern is this,

if the offer is rejected,

which I expect will be the case,

then I understand I will be sent a default notice requiring me to pay within 14 days.

 

It is my intention to apply for a time order as I know I can pay and comfortably so.

 

However is my car protected goods ( I.e will they need a court order to recover it )

 

The details of the agreement are

 

Car Price £10990

APR :29.3

Amount Payable : £18784

Initial Payment : £1152.30 - Balance £17632

Paid to Date: £7804.85

 

So based of those figures is my car protected?

 

Secondly

if they obtained a court order for recovery of my car,

how quick would that be issued?

Are we talking about days from now?

or the next day following the 14 default notice?

 

Sorry I am bothering you all, but just trying to be clear in me own head where I stand and how best to move forward.

 

Oh and If I felt I could no longer afford the car,

I would happily hand it over,

but I can and hope this mess can be sorted asap

 

Regards

It looks as if you have paid more than one third of the agreement so they would need a court order to legally recover the car - it should state in your agreement the amount you need to have paid which will require them to get a court order.

It could take a few weeks, they have to write to you advising that they will apply for a return of vehicle order via the court if you don't pay in a certain amount of days. Did you keep a copy of the letter you sent them?

Yeah I took that into consideration,

 

 

but realistically I can afford it so made a decision to try and sort it all out.

 

 

If things ever changed or I honestly felt I would be struggling

I would not bother and hand car back,

but right things will be ok.

You would have the opportunity to defend/apply for time order regardless
