section 75 if you paid with a card

I paid with debit card, wish I hadn't, so not sure where I stand with that !?

Still can claim as you have not received the goods

I bought a car years ago but changed my mind and cancelled.
Dealer did not want to cough up the 500 paid as a deposit and that was a NatWest debit card. They claimed it back for me.

Ring the card issuer right now.

My mate bought a Leon fr170 there , took the warranty,
Turbo failed and a/c compressor and some other bits , anyways garage did the work, nothing more was said.
Then the warranty bounced and he was left with the bill for over £1K ,
Liquidation company are offering 25p to every £1 on the warranty now but he's fighting it for the lot
Talk about a shambles

That's terrible :(, my bank paid me back to £500 I'd lost, but they could claim it back if it was an invalid claim, or I get my money back from the administrators!, I can't see that happening !

I bought my Seat Leon ST in Basingstoke , sorted finance which included paint & interior protection . I was allowed to take it the same day.Two days later I turned up to get the valet and protection done
Only to find place all locked up ! A salesman came out of Skoda next door and told us everyone was told to go home as they have ceased
Trading with immediate effect !
I have no protection put on car, but was sent a confirmation of cover from the protection Co. dated from day of collecting car .
I haven't got a clue where to take car to get it done or where to get it serviced when due........!
Is there anyone else who has same issue with the Basingstoke branch ?
My First Seat and Love it !

Got my Ibiza from Basingstoke as its my hometown and they knew about shutting down months ago mate! I had my service a couple months ago and they had already stopped everything at Basingstoke by that point, had to take my car to Newbury so that's well out of order taking your money for that as they obviously knew they would stop trading! I'd get on the phone right away pal and don't stop til you get that money back

Thank you for letting me know about them knowing that they were closing.
Nothing was at all mentioned to us at time of arranging purchase / finance. Having never owned or driven a Seat before,
I absolutely love it, the looks of the Leon st . and the ' Monsoon Grey colour ' just had to go for it.
I am very dissatisfied with the now de-funked dealership , no contact what so ever. As well as what you suggest , I will contact the finance company as they have already paid the money to 'Seat' for this paint/ interior protection that never got done ! But have a certificate stating its covered from date of purchase , 3 days before closing doors !
Regards Graham.
