Hitachi Car Lease ended - they say i've caused damage and want paying.

[Mason Mclaren]

Brief background: 

My car came to end of lease with hitachi vehicle solutions.

 

it Got collected by three burley chaps (a company called Manheim) on behalf of hitachi capital finance .

They carried out an inspection . 

 

 I wouldn’t sign that I agreed with his findings . ( a chip smart repair)

he said wasn’t good enough

 

I same day ring and complain to hitachi.

I stateD I’m prepared to pay for an independent inspection.

 

Days pass and I find car has been sold .

Thus can’t carry out an independent inspection .

question:

when there is a financial dispute on a vehicle by law can the lease company sell that vehicle before the dispute is resolved ?

If not where in consumer law or contract law can I find it stated?

 

i asked for evidence From hitachi that they carried out the Re- repair their Requesting money for and they said they don’t have to provide evidence (it does say that in their faq I checked)

 

anything I can do. ?
