• Skoda Yeti - Dealers telling porkies -how long car on forecourt 10 Oct 2018 (Forum)
  I think the first 8 digits indicate the date it was first published - 20180514 (14/05/2018)?? We will be paying about 60% up front and the rest on finance. Paid a £1000 today and signed an agreement with the garage but waiting for finance agreement to come through so haven’t signed any of these documents yet. Now having second thoughts as we have been lied to.

• Rover 25 - My story... (need help) 27 Jul 2011 (Forum)
  The main thing that is bugging me is the fact that I still owe £3800+ on this car and the GAP insurance that I had taken out didn't cover the cost difference with the finance. It's 3 years later and I am in this debt for a car I no longer have, but would have paid for properly, or even finished paying for it had it been repaired. I am in the process of seeking advice from the Citizens Adviec Beaurau, but I would like to know if anyone else thinks there is or maybe a case here of maybe getting my debt written off.

• Legal Ownership 11 Nov 2014 (Forum)
  Yesterday I went to another dealer with a view to changing cars and when they ran mine through an HPI check it was flagged as having a 3 year finance deal active on it, started 6 months before I bought the car and still has a year to run.  I have raised this with the supplying dealer, I have had no trouble taxing and insuring the car in the 18 months I have ownsed it and no bailiffs have called, yet.
