Why should you forfeit the money? It's this kind of thinking that gets consumers screwed.

Applying to many banks won't lower your credit score.

Once a bank has approved your loan you can change the loan to another dealer. Deal with the bank directly on this.

Write a letter to the branch to get back your deposit. By law the dealer must return at least 90% of your deposit.

What is the TnC stated in the booking form for a refund ?

The law supercedes any TnC stated in the booking form.

Not 100 but 300.
Actual not receipt but car sales order form. I tried writing a letter to them first

I have transfer to their company account. I dont want to deal with this person anymore as he is getting unprofessional

I was told that my application has been submitted to few banks, if change to another brand, then have to resubmit to few banks, and second batch of banks will see where & how many banks i have submitted.... thus will affect scoring because of 2 batches

Yes i am writing the letter now

Nothing mention about the refund

Write a formal letter to the branch manager to cancel the booking. Have it acknowledged and follow up from there. No point calling them and have it official in b&w.

BTW, your next loan .. the next salesman need to submit the loan application again. You cant transfer ftom the 'old' submission as finance commission is paid to the dealer who submit the application.

Yes.... sadly cant transfer thats is why i am worry my next submission will be rejected because of previous one applying at a few banks

isnt booking fee non-refundable? last i bought car is 9 years ago...
the SA told me booking fee are not refundable, but RM500...

Shouldnt have any problem with your next loan. If the bank ask why, just tell them you cancelled the earlier purchase. Since no money is disbursed, your credit rating is not affected ... there are many would be borrowers cancelled loan due to various reasons.

I have transferred my bank loan from one dealer to another dealer before.

No wonder some people got scammed for bank loans they never took when bank officers are 'allowed' to change the particulars in the loan application form instead of submitting a new application.

Young people nowadays really no social skill whatsoever. Common sense also don't have. If you know that booking fees is 100% refundable upon request, then why are you being bitch slapped around by a mere salesman? If having a penis and a ball sack you still act like a little girl, just cut them off. Even office girl who picked up your call can easily blow you off and Tai chi you back to the salesman. In today's dictionary, there's a term called "pushover". You're a pushover. People will see you no up.

Your money, your deposit. Get it back. That is all.

If you are dearling with Perodua, you can contact the HQ directly via their website of soc med account. They are quite responsive on this matter.

If another local brand, well ... good luck.

Just email the dealer and cc to HQ, can find the details via google

You may change the loan to another dealer if (a) the previous dealer agree with it, but in this case since TS wanna change to another brand , he need to apply for a new loan.

Some bank officer very fussy - when they see in the system how come so many applications in such a short time they may reject or give you unfavorable interest rate.

and no, most of the time bank officer will ask you to deal with the SA / Dealer by yourself. they hardly entertain direct case these days, except in "special circumstances"

go direct to bank say withdraw loan appplication

The salesman is so desperate to close the deal but in an unethical way! You may lodge a complaint to his branch manager and demand to refund the booking.

You, I like you. Sharp and direct bitch slapped TS into reality. People have been very helpful with their suggestions and TS instead of listening to them, keep on digging his own grave thinking that there is no way out. He is getting manipulated by the salesman real hard. Kesian.

TS, I asked my lawyer friend. He advised as follows in respect of the deposit.

Did you sign anything in writing? If yes, that could be a preliminary contract. Then you look into the terms of the contract governing the refund of deposit.

If you did not sign anything, and paid the money to company account. Did you receive the official receipt? If yes then check whether there is fine print of TnC on deposit refund on the back of the receipt.

If there is official receipt but no TnC check their official website of the company agent whether in their terms of service (ToS) the company stipulates terms with regards to refund of deposit for contracts entered by their authorised agents.

Official receipt here means receipt issued under the agent's company name not agent's own name. If it is agent's name, good luck la you can never get back your deposit.

If you indeed have the official receipt but tried your best to look for the terms for deposit refund but found none. Then you charge to their higher ups (rank of managers above) to ask for deposit as other ktards have advised. Going for front line they only tai chi you back to the salesman. If manager refuses to refund, ask why, ask where in the Black and White says that your company can eat my deposit.

If you have official receipt with TnC stated with regards to refund of deposit. Go to manager and ask for refund pointing out that your company have agreed to refund in the event that sale did not go through.

The law governing refund of deposit:
Deposit can be forfeited because it is just a security for the performance of the contract. (Rationale: the seller could have sold the car to other persons if not for your change of mind and wasting his time. Therefore, putting in a deposit shows buyer's seriousness in the deal.)

Unless you can prove black and white (yes written contract) that it constitute part payment of the purchase price of the car then the deposit can be refunded. Because it is no longer called "deposit" in layman terms but part payment.

Oral contract is admissible in court but have fun proving that it exists. Court won't entertain salesman promises.
It is buyer who is stupid enough to entertain their promises.

The law respects freedom of contract but does not protect gullible contractors. The law is not there to babysit you.

If either company or agent without lawful reasons eat your deposit. You can commence civil action via small claim procedure without the need of a lawyer. But have fun wasting time and money if your deposit is miniscule.

Sidenote: Do not go viral unless you have the law to back you up. If not you will get hit by defamation suit. Then we all ktards can laugh at you when you issue public apology on social media.

On loan application, others have advised you accordingly. No need for me to repeat the advice.

Small claims tribunal court can already.
