Auction charging me loss of resale price £800!!!

[TM1989 4]

I basically wasn’t able to pay for the vehicle due to two deaths in the family so therefore business was closed and didn’t shift any stock. There’s 3 other vehicles which they’ve taken back from me will be charging me £800 each on them too. The stress this has caused me is unbearable. Anyone got any advice?

Firstly - my condolences & sorry for your loss.

Our trade is a very tough one - with little or no empathy.

I can see why the auction house may not have any remorse for you (they probably think you’re lying - as they’ve heard that excuse serval times before). 
 

if it’s a genuine scenario, stand your ground and show then proof (I know you’re word is good enough) but if it’s the truth stand by it - it will save you  £2,400

 

however if you’ve bought those cars I presume to retail then & make a margin on? Why don’t you simply just buy them? Decent stock is still hard to get.
