As someone who has worked in the motor trade and experienced the financial turmoil instigated by the recent finance rulings firsthand, I am calling for an official investigation into the catastrophic collapse of the motor trade. This impending downfall is poised to force many dealers out of business, triggering mass unemployment across the nation.

In fact, my personal income shrank by a staggering 40% virtually overnight. And if this could happen to me, it's happening to a multitude of others whose livelihoods depend heavily on this industry. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), there are around 590,000 people employed in the UK motor trade industry, a number that is at risk due to the restrictive finance legislation.

Clearly, this is not a personal issue, but a national crisis that needs prompt attention. Therefore, I urge the relevant authorities to conduct a thorough inspection into this matter at the earliest to ensure the job security of countless motor trade workers. It's high time we reassess these finance rulings and provide a lifeline for dealers to stay afloat during these challenging times.

Sign this petition. Demand an inquiry into the unanticipated collapse of the motor trade due to the recent finance rulings.
