Help Required

Good Afternoon All,

Hopefully you can help, I sold a car to someone and took a deposit & agreed that they could pay the rest off monthly (i still have the log book in my name) but they have paid less this month & have stated that this is because they have had to pay for the tax (which they have also taken off the balance outstanding) i did not agree to this & am now feeling un settled by the whole situation, I have asked them to either pay the full amount owing (i even gave a couple of hundred off as goodwill) or to provide me a time to collect the car & i will refund monies paid (As long as its in a good state etc) & they are not playing ball. What are my options?

Get the car back now. You are taking a terrible risk that they will run up parking fines and speeding fines IN YOUR NAME.

It seems you have created a contract where title to the car ( ownership) does not go to the buyer until all payments are made in the manner agreed. As there has been a breach on their part, according to your post, then ask for the car to be returned now. My concern here is that quite apart from the legal issues of speeding tickets etc there are month 1 payment issues, does not bode well for subsequent payments. Get all this in writing in case it does end up in court.

Maybe Fraud - ring the police... he/she might have meant to do this sneakily..!



Always ask a pro im only an LPC student.

That is a very bizarre comment to make, this is a civil dispute currently, a deferred purchase of the car. I doubt very much the police would get involved on the facts stated here so far.

If I were you I'd stay away from selling cars - you don't seem to be any good at it.
