Vw Financial Services..seat And Skoda

[janzman]

..About six years ago my son and his long term partner bought a brand new Seat Ibiza. Because his credit rating was poor the finance was in her name and the legal keeper of the car was in his name. Two years ago they changed the car for another Seat Ibiza and used exactly the same procedure, absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this arrangement. HOWEVER....now they want to buy a Skoda Fabia the same way but they have been told both the financial arrangements and the keeper must be one and the same. My question is this.....
Both Seat and Skoda belong to Volkswagon and as such both Seat and Skoda Finances are offered by VW Financial Servise registered at the same address in Milton Keynes, so how does Seat offer this method of purchasing and registering a new car but Skoda does not...I'm confused, can anyone help me please.

Many garages are franchised, so finance may be with completey different companies.

After six years, isn't his credit rating improved?

you are not buying from VW, you are buying off the dealer.

janzman, might be a good idea for them to try again at a different dealership.

Janzman is correct...if you buy an Audi, Seat, Skoda or Volkswagen (or indeed Porsche or Bentley!) on finance provided by the relevant dealership..the finance is actually furnished by Volkswagen Financial Services UK. Therefore, to get an answer/explanation to his question above, the people to contact would be VW Financial Services...
