• Subaru Legacy - Vehicle Road Tax Refund. 24 Dec 2014 (Forum)
  We filled in the necessary paperwork and today I have received a one month rebate only,instead of the expected two ,obviously due to the salesman having no interest in me and my finances, so he has cost me £23.33 because of this new car tax system.(If he has been using up any fuel left in the car this of course is now illegal). Under the old system it was in my interest the post the tax disc promply so that the DVLA received the paperwork to allow the two months refund,yet another kick in the teeth for the motorist.

Finally it appears that these lenders make a large part of their profits by levying fees on borrowers who don't repay on time .So to often the borrowers don't even repay the small cash amounts they borrow .
