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

You'll have to pay it sometime, tell them cash flow and see what they say, but if you want my advice just pay up, you owe it. As I said before it's not worth the credit rating impact or the threat of legal action. If it goes to court you will be liable to pay up and probably court costs too. Call them with your credit card number and get on with driving and enjoying your car.

cheers for the comments opinions fellas, ive decided to pay up (after consulting my solicitor ) he said that legally i am obliged to pay up and that they can file a ccj againts me. he said on the other hand i could hold out & see if they will take me to court over £1000 or just let it go, which isnt likely.  like some said its not worth damaging my credit score as its taken me ages to get it sorted!!!
anyway i now have 1000 notes to find!!! i genuinely didnt realise id been underchaged and the way our lass spends money, 1000 notes seem to vanish pretty quickly!!

anyway ill see if i can get a free service out of it or summat as a goodwill for saving the salemans job!!

Most definitely the wisest decision.

If you are genuinely strapped for cash you could politely ask if you could pay it in say 2 or 3 instalments and offer to put confirmation in writing. Depending on their year-end accounting etc, they may be able to accommodate you.

I agree. If they are a decent lot they may be willing to sort somet out.
Then again, they may try take you down the finance route to get more out of you in terms of interest!

  a sensible decision, and try RR's approach, tell them your card is now maxxed out and pay by a couple or four installments.  Let us know how you get on if you do

yeah i rang them & said i need a few days to see if i can pull a few favours and get the money 2gether, at least until i get paid, so if i cant get the full amount they will have to accept it in payments. ill try me luck with a free service or summat tho if i do get the full amount now.

Sorry to drag this one back up but, hypothetically speaking (of course you should pay), how did they prove you only paid £500 cash? Couldn't you have said that you paid £1500 cash and they took the rest on the card, since your receipt specifies the full balance?

Apologies if I missed this part of the discussion as I haven't read the thread in its entirety.

i had a receipt for £500 i paid in cash & another for the remaining balance. the sticking point was that the invoice had the full total agreed price. my solicitor said that if this was also wrong then i wouldnt be obliged to pay it, but as the invoice was correct, and a mistake had been made, then i still owed them the money mistake or no mistake.

all payed up now anyway and i was pleased wiv the original price in the first place to be honest.
