  Why can foreign bank transfers be recalled months or years later? 17 Aug 2010 (Ask HJ)

• HPI your own car - good bet ? 15 Jul 2009 (Forum)
  So imagine my surprise when I took it for a speculative price to a VW dealer who said they'd buy it but that it had come up as having unresolved finance on a HPI check. The print out showed her plate against a VW Bora of the same age. Mistake at the finance company. Took a few phone calls but got it sorted - I've since learnt that this is by no means unique.
• Did we do okay? 30 Jul 2008 (Forum)
  State blue metallic, 64k miles, one owner, FSH, no PAS. £1735 trade in price. Cost to change: £7425. Finance at 8.9% APR, a personal loan, not HP on the car. Could have been better but my parents preferred to deal with an IFA whom they know, rather than go directly to the finance company.

• Nissan Qashqai - Cancelling a potential pcp? 30 Mar 2022 (Forum)
  The sales person managed to somehow sway me with the sales pitch and I went for a PCP. I left a small deposit of £250 and was told a credit check would be done by an external finance company. I was also reassured their terms were better than the company I was pre approved for. Well I get home and check wll paper work, turns out the total overs charge will be over £1000 more than my finance provider.

• High mileage & a recent revelation 21 Jul 2012 (Forum)
  Peversly though it'll be me that drives since she simply walks to work whilst I now do an average of 35,000 miles a year thanks to my new job (hence the purchase of a car back in March that was much more fuel efficient, 2010 Seat Ibiza Ecomotive, i've now done 10k allready.  We have no finance, it was bough outright). So i;ve been having a look about and the main issue I'm seeing is mileage, most finance offers seem to only go up to 10k per annum before sticking you with a charge per mile after.

• Worn brakes on car just bought 22 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  He tried very hard to sell them an expensive warranty, the usual hard sell, which I persuaded them to resist. It would not cover brakes I would imagine. I pointed out to the seller, the finance man referred to by daughter as the slimy pink fluffy dice , that he could not deny buyers their rights under Sale Of Goods Acts, and he became rather evasive. That was when they bought it., though without extra hundreds of pounds worth of warranty, finance, finance protection, MOT insurance etc.
