am i being lied to

[mamax123]

hey lovely's i'm just here to ask a question so my partner put a deposit down for a car near manchester which is pretty far from us so i believed him until he said he was on his way home and he was filling the form for the car at home and sending them back though the post i'm just wondering if that's even possible i thought everything had to be done at the place where the car does anyone know anything about this please x

What form is he filling in?

i think it's his details and stuff for the car

Which bit do you think he might be lying about?

Paying the deposit, travelling to Manchester, bringing the paperwork back to complete it, or buying the car at all?

bringing back the paperwork i just think it's a bit off

It surely you will see the paperwork?

What do you think the purpose of this lie would be?

Well just have a look at the paperwork when he gets home. Has he bought it from a garage? Is it a new car?

we don't live together yet we are currently looking but getting houses in my area is a nightmare 🫣 and i'm not too sure it just think it's off

we don't currently live together x

Sounds completely normal to me. Seems like you have other worries though, why would lying be the default?

I did this when I was buying a car recently. The dealer sent off a form to the dvla to confirm the new registered owner.

Why are you so suspicious OP? Is something else going on?

If he’s financing the car, there will be forms to fill in to run a credit check and such prior to him going and actually getting the car. I have done it from home even before covid as I have bought cars online from dealerships.

It'll be the v5 (ownership document), totally normal.

I don't think you should be considering moving in together if something as non-descript as this is causing problems

Last time we bought a car it took the best part of an hour - it’s not just the registration, if it’s a dealer then they go through warranty stuff, extras that they want to sell you, finance, breakdown services and car service packages. So it is plausible that it’s taken a long time.

All I know is that if you sign a credit agreement you have to do it at the garage where the car is being sold.
I can't help any more, sorry.

Have you ever bought a car? There is a lot of paperwork at it does not all have to be done at the time. Informing the DVLA for example is probably something you would do from home. Also, maybe insurance? There are a lot of different ways that can be done.

Paragraphs. Punctuation.🙄

It's perfectly possible that he's doing some paperwork at home. But the real question here is why you are suspicious of this? If you trusted him it wouldn't occur to you to be suspicious of this. There must be a reason for you not to trust him, as this on its own is not suspicious in the remotest.

Do you feel better for posting that?

I honestly do not understand what it is you are worried about or why this is such a concern to you? Baffling.

I can't understand what you think he's doing instead of filling a form in?
