Afternoon,
I have had my golf on auto trader for a week or two now, and earlier today a chap called from a finance company who find people interested in my car then finance it too them and pay me in full.
All seemed a bit odd as i've not heard of it before, was worth a punt so paid the £99 admin fee on amex so its all protected.
Has anyone had dealings with these companies before?

In there any clause which says you get your money back after so long if they don't find a buyer, or have you just gave someone £99 for nothing?

£99 isn't protected I'm afraid, Section 75 only applies to transactions of £100 or more...

He is sending me the paperwork by email this afternoon, if he doesn't sell the car before I do I get it back.
I didn't say it was going on eBay tonight to the bloke though.

Isn't this the type of thing that's always on programs like watchdog... I would never sign up to it, you're mad.

Will see what the paper work says when it comes through, if it all looks a bit suspect, will get on the phone to amex.

Do you not have access to the internet mate? Even if stupid enough to sign up for it in general surely you must have seen the stories about companies like that?
