Questions about VT with Moneybarn

[dx100uk]

you have paid more than 50%

end of the matter

 

i'll post up  VT notes below

that should answer you all ok:

 

………….

Section 99 of the Consumer Credit Act gives the debtor the right to terminate a hire purchase agreement, 
simply by giving written notice of termination. 
.
The right to terminate applies at any time before the final payment becomes due, unless the creditor has already terminated. 
contrary to the line taken by many finance companies, 
.
the debtor need not have paid half the total amount payable, 
and nor do they have to pay any arrears, [read below carefully regarding arrears ].
.
before exercising the right to terminate.
 .
Sections 99 and 100 set out the debtor's liability on voluntary termination. 

The sections are complex, 
but their main effect can be summarised in brief as follows. 
.
If the sum of payments made and arrears before termination exceeds 50% of the total price, 
than the debtor is only liable to pay the arrears. 
.
Otherwise, the debtor is liable to pay half the total price, less any payments already made.
 . 
so the debtor can terminate at any time if he has reached the 50 % mark but would be liable for any payments still to reach the 50 % mark,
 .  
it does not matter if the account is in arrears at the time or request to do a voluntary termination.
.
you need to specifically nail them down that this is a VT and NOT a VS Voluntary surrender].
dont get caught out!!
.
take extensive photos and video of the car inside and out 
and underneath [use a selfie stick] and in the engine compartment 
ALWAYS.
.
if they try and charge a repo fee or collection fee they cannot:
.
The only charges you must pay are the ones contained in the legislation and itemised in section 101, 
the charge mentioned is levied after the agrement is terminated and is void in any case. 
.
All it means is that no one will collect the terminated car(their car), well that is ther problem it is no longer yours , your attachment to the car has been terminated..
.
173 Contracting-out forbidden.
(1)A term contained in a regulated agreement or linked transaction, or in any other agreement relating to an actual or prospective regulated agreement or linked transaction, is void if, and to the extent that, it is inconsistent with a provision for the protection of the debtor or hirer or his relative or any surety contained in this Act or in any regulation made under this Act.
.
This term is covered by the above section of the CCA 1974 in that it breaches this:
.
 99 Right to terminate hire-purchase etc. agreements.
.
 (1)At any time before the final payment by the debtor under a regulated hire-purchase or regulated conditional sale agreement falls due, the debtor shall be entitled to terminate the agreement by giving notice to any person entitled or authorised to receive the sums payable under the agreement
.
 In other words nothing can stop you voluntarily terminating.
.
although dependant on the way your agreement is written, they can charge excess mileage
.
 this has been accepted at county courticon level, but afaik has not been tested in a higher court
..
.
.

..............example letter..ADAPT TO SUIT.............
.
You must vt under s99/100 cca1974. do not sign any of their forms, or agree to pay anything. 
.
The car has just to be in reasonable condition for its age. 

If you have paid in excess of 50%, 
with no arrears there will be nothing to pay.
.

[dx100uk]

not sure what you are not understanding....

they cannot charge you anything more... you are over the 50% mark on payments.

and even if you were not..

what they get at the auction is immaterial...

 

what date did you sent the VT?

what date was your next payment due ..look at the monthly payment date state on the agreement you signed...

 

if the vt letter not with them before your next contractual payment was due

the ONLY think you might owe is than ONE contractual payment.

 

if they got the VT in good time, before due date..you owe nothing.
