Been totally ripped off
Been totally ripped off. I agreed to a fee of £400 for my car. A man picked it up and gave me a 4 page leaflet. I didnt bother reading it because as far as i was concerned it was being scrapped. I was told the money will be in my account within 48 hours. 8 days later i finally contact scrap my car to be told a company called nationwide scrap are only offering £150 or i can come and collect the car from Basingstoke (im in essex). Baring in mind i had already submitted the log book online so i didnt even own the car at that point. My advice to other people is be very careful if the pick up driver gives you a leaflet because you wont end up with what you agreed. Disgusted!!!
Update:
After being told they wouldnt be able to sell the car on because they say the engine had a hole in it and the catalytic converter was apparentley the wrong one, ive checked on the vehicle smart app and it has a brand new MOT on it less than a week later. I was using the car up until the day before they came to collect it. You choose to scrap your car through a site called Scrap my car comparison, agree a price and then once they’ve got it and you surrender the log book they offer you a silly price knowing full well there is nothing you can do about it. How do they get away with it? Its blatant robbery!!
