Like many of your members I am currently battling my contract with Welcome. We HP the car for aroun £4,000 it broke down in 8 months with £3,000 worth of damage that both my mechanic and an indepedent mechanic said were long standing problems, not created in 8 months of use. They have beeen constantly unhelpful and to get out of the contract we are looking at paying out about £5-6,000 we are not sure of the figure yet. We have been wihout a car for 3 months. I was just wondering if you had any advice. We want to Voluntary terminate the agreement which is quoted at £4,200 before an RAC member has further inspected it, would much more on do you know?wELCOME cAR fINANCE Is a VT the best way out? |

Hi Tristram Did you actually buy the car from a Welcome branch or did you buy it from an independent garage and Welcome just provided the finance ? Buzz |

Tristram, Before you VT or make an offer I really believe you should approach Trading Standards on this one. Its obvious your car is not "fit for purpose" and TS will throw the book at them using the Sales for Goods Act. I would not be surprised if TS make them take the car back and refund you all your money. Have you kept all your documentation regarding the inspections? If not can yo uget copies etc? We have had a number of our users who have gone down this route and have been successful. So yes look at this first before anything else. Here is TS link: - http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/consumers/consumers.cfm Any problems you know where we are. |
