Hi i brought a car about 2 months ago, the car was $6999 and i was suppose to pay $500 deposit. When i got the car i organised the finance for the $6499 but when i picked the car up the people at the car dealers forgot to ask me for the deposit i forgot as well so i drove out. 2 months later they ring up saying they are doing end of the term audit and realise the deposit was forgotten and it needs paying i was just wondering what should i do it was 2 months since i brought the car and what will happen if i dont pay and do i have to.

The reality is you owe them money and they can prove it - you do not have a receipt to prove you paid any deposit and money is outstanding for the sale. They could take it to court which could end up costing you more money. My advice is to pay up before it gets messy.
