read the contract
did you not read the contract? they aren't that hard. or written in big words. standard finance agreement. if you don't understand it, don't sign it. take a copy and ask someone that does.

Why thank you
you patronising twat.

Yes I did read the contract. However the finance information informing me that the figures included a final payment were included on a seperate piece of paper that I was not, at the time, given to peruse. Yes, the cunt acted quite illegally, but because the important page (i.e. the credit agreement) was signed, then I was fucked.

Now I hope that wasn't too hard, or written in big words. I'm sorry I'm not as perfect as you.

Feel free to drown in a pool of your own smegma.

mmm
shirley, i can call you shirley? any contract like that has a cooling off period?

You...
...my darling, can call me anything you like.

No, as this was my main thought. If you sign on the dealer's premesis, then the cooling off period does not apply.

All I could do was report them to the FSA or take them to court, but this would have taken time and money as it was basically my word against theirs.

Still it all worked out in the end. I have a far superior car, and it's not made by cheese eating surrender monkeys.

As I said, I do still facepalm myself for my own twattery.

I would have
not paid a penny and waited for THEM to take ME to court.

True
but you still have the problem of it's their word against yours. There was no guarantee that I would have won, and in the meantime my credit rating would have been beaten like a ginger stepchild.

So, I manned the fuck up, learnt my lesson and moved on.
