Moneybarn vt help

[ettyc]

Hi

I have decided to voluntary terminate my agreement and I am going to send my VT tomorrow .

However car has just been serviced and a few things are required,

track rod end

ball joint left side,

the person has recommended replacing 3 tyres

 

my question is it worth doing this ?

Will I get charged for it ?

Is it better I do it myself ?

 

Also unfortunately it seems someone damaged my car this morning they drove it’s caused scratches to rear bumper

it’s minor but scratches are visible

 

will I get charged for this or will fall under wear and tear the vehicle is just under 10 years old appreciate your answers

how long have you had the car and how many miles have YOU done in it?

[ettyc]

I have had the car since May 2016 and I have done 30000 miles

[dx100uk]

then imho fair wear and tear for how long you have had it and mileage covered

 

no need to do anything.

 

I will guess you've read most of the recent threads here and are using the CAG VT letter?

 

I would expect MB to claim everything from a dirty windscreen but as with mb they do that

you do NOT pay them a penny!!

 

do as the other threads state

use a selfie stick take video under the car and every where.inside boot bonnet, etc

cause they WILL put every stunt they can to get money out of you

 

have you ever had trouble paying cause they'll be hidden unlawful fees too they've charged

 

have you every statement to date

[ettyc]

Many thanks never defaulted on payment.

Have paid on time.

 

They sent a letter saying BCA will get in touch

I serviced last Thursday hopefully that will be a positive.

Even bumper damage counts as wear and tear ?

should do.

 

can you not get fine wet n dry block or these nail care blocks and smooth the scratches down a bit.?

they work wonders with a bit of t cut:madgrin:

[ettyc]

Thanks for your reply I will look around Halfords though it could be difficult due to work.

 

Damage is superficial that you need to look closely to see it but I will try what you suggested

 

also I lost my MOT certificate will I get charged for that

 

Yes I used the VT letter from another thread on this website

they can look the MOT up so tough luck for them.

 

if you look in places like poundland or whatever they do nail makeup sanding blocks with say a few sides of differing grades

use one of those with a bit of t cut, works magic!!

[ettyc]

Ok thanks will do

Just that will update you once they have come for the car. Anymore tips are welcome

[dx100uk]

yes they cannot charge you anything

they WILL try, esp the £350 for repo.

[dx100uk]

how close or are you over the 50% mark?

[ettyc]

I am over the 50 by a few hundred and they confirmed that in writing another thing is they said BCA will contact me within 2 days on Monday and I need the car gone ASAP as I don’t want to pay tax for a car I won’t use

[dx100uk]

can you not put it on private land?

if not sorn it.

 

don't forget to sign the v5c and keep the bit you have to send off when MB take it

[ettyc]

MB said it has to remain taxed and insured till it’s picked up, alternatively they said they can send one of their agents to pick it up instead of BCA as they can pick it up earlier don’t if there is any drawback with that

[dx100uk]

well they cant charge anything however they do it

[ettyc]

Ok is there a letter/template I can use in my defence if they charge me for damage caused

[dx100uk]

not really.

but if you read a few threads here

you'll get the idea.

[ettyc]

Hie car is getting picked up tomorrow do you think it’s best to tel MB about damage done to my vehicle or wait to hear from

Them then tell them someone damaged I am thinking at that point they may ask why I didn’t tell them earlier

Many thanks

[dx100uk]
