I drive to North Walsham this lunchtime to accompany my wife’s daughter-in-law to the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB). She needs some advice on a legal matter concerning a car that they bought from a Volkswagen dealer (Vindis) that turned out to have finance outstanding from the previous owner. She has now been informed that Volkswagen Finance have permission from the courts to repossess the car, even though she paid in full for it, in cash. I’m not really much help in this matter, but I’m there in a supporting role!
It’s raining most of the day in Southrepps, which means that dog walks are fairly brief, but at least it relents for an hour or so while I’m in North Walsham.
We leave the CAB feeling quite positive, because they have been able to provide us with the necessary legal information and phraseology to challenge the decision of the court (or, at least, to force the dealer to compensate them).
I pick my wife up from work this afternoon – her car is going in for a service, so she’s going to be borrowing mine for a day or two.
