Having trouble finding the necessary documents?

KP Law can help you through the claim process.

If you are struggling to find any of the documents relating to your car, the ‘fix’, or the sale of your car, we need you to request copies from whoever originally produced them.

We recommend that you make your request via email as this is likely to be quicker than through the post. But, if you are not able to find a relevant contact email address, you can send a written letter or even go into the dealership if it is convenient to do so.

Use our handy templates below to request the information you need. 

Letter Templates - please copy and paste

You will need to include your own details in the template in the areas indicated in bold. If you have moved house you will need to quote the address at the time you purchased the car as well as your current address.
