Urgent advice needed!!!!!!!!!

[pitman4u]

hey guys im after some advice and urgent!!!
i bought my mk5 gti about 5weeks ago now from a vw dealer. the thing is that they undercharged my card by £1000!!!!
i didnt realise until a few weeks ago as i have receipts saying i had paid the full amount.
anyway i have just had a call from vw saying that i owe them money because they made a mistake!! does anyone have any advice on where i stand legally regarding paying it back. obviously i dont want to pay it back as it was their mistake and also the fact it was 5weeks ago i no longer have that money spare anyway!!! im currently trying to get in touch with citizens advice to see where i stand with this.

any advice appreciated lads

cheers

What price is on all the documentation paperwork? If all the paper work states the correct price then you probably have to pay it. If all the paper work states the incorrect price ( - £1000) then tell them to f**k off

all i have are receipts saying that ive paid the full amount for the car. like i say i didnt even realise until a few weeks ago and my card bill came in. just got me log book in this post this morning aswell!! if i cant get anywhere with citizens advice i reckon ill give my solicitor a ring.

Is there no figure saying how much you paid / should have paid?

What amount did you agree to pay for the car?

IMO, morally, you should pay... you know (and have admitted in you original post) that you were undercharged. I know you have only just realised but if the boot was on the other foot and you had accidentally been overcharged you would be demanding that they pay you back.

I see what your saying however, if there is a chance that you will get £1000 off then id chace it, fook the morals lol.

haha thats wot im thinking. it doesnt state on any of the receipts the agreed price. i have two receipts - one for the £500 deposit i paid in cash and the other saying ive paid £12900, its also written in words. = total £13400. however on checking my visa receipts they have only charged £11900 to it.

Im afraid I agree.
As you know you have been undercharged you may as well pay it off and be done with it, rather then go through more hassle.

If the receipt says £13400 but you have only been charged £11900 then you will have to pay it so might aswell get it over and done with.

as i said tho i no longer have £1000 spare! it was paid on my card that is now maxed due to other bills.i only realised when my card bill came in. ill see what the citizens advice have to say and if legally i dont have to pay it bk then there is not a chance they will be gettin it!! morals can prove very expensive in the middle of a recession!
