Hi all.
Looking for a bit of advice on behalf of my DP please.
Car written off by third party several weeks ago. Had been given a hire car. Case is going to court, but in the meantime the hire car needed to go back. Found a car for the interim until the case was heard. Applied and accepted for finance on the car. Travelled over 100 miles each way to collect it.
Had a phone call about a week later. The finance company will no longer finance the car after further checks had found it had previously been scrapped and the current number plate was only issued to that vehicle a couple of years ago (10 yr old car). This apparently came as a surprise to the garage.
DP had to return the car, the garage refused to collect. Had to return home on the train, which took over 4 hours and wasn’t cheap. The garage now wants DP to pay mileage of over £300 for using a car which was a write off and not declared as such. Until this is paid, the garage won’t release the money back to the finance company.
Any advice? I feel that the garage have acted unscrupulously. But I’m not an expert.
The garage has already resisted the car on their website, and haven’t declared it as a write off.
TIA

It’s a car one, are the garage CFs?
