Hi Everyone
Im hoping for some help on this please.
I took out finance december 2015 on a vehicle,
immediately fell into difficulties in January and had the car repossessed.
I was in complete communication with the finance company,
met the transporter to recover the car and kept talking with them throughout.
They explained that there may be a shortfall from the resale of the vehicle which i appreciated
I heard nothing for a month or so,
but expecting there to be some shortfall emailed the company to find out what happened next
. I then had a letter sent to my address from their solicitors saying a CCJ had been registered and that I had to reply to the CCJ that would be sent.
Next thing I received was a CCJ had been awarded to the claimant asking for £392 a month to cover the balance of almost £8k
- when only £9k was borrowed,
the car was returned in immaculate condition and was resold almost immediately for over £8k (internet search showed this)
I found out that despite having my correct address, the ccj was sent to my previous address.
Where do i stand in having to pay back almost 90% of the finance despite no longer having the vehicle?
And where do i stand that I have never had the oppurtunity to represent myself in court to explain that the vehicle was returned due to the fact that the finance company explained the shortfall would only be small and manageable?
Thanks in advance
