HELP - sold a car and it was repossessed from the buyer

[lambosagogo]

Is this a reasonable summary of current state of play?

Actor	Car	Money	Happiness
Original Seller	No	Yes
OP	No	No
OPs Buyer	No	Yes
Barclays	No	No

Close.

I've edited it for you though.

Well, probably, but certainly somebody does.

Yes, your version seems to be more accurate. Which is strange.

I'm continually amazed people bother to complete threads in this place. I hope we get to hear the outcome but if I were you OP I'd walk

He'll probably have to.

if/when the money is returned...

I don't get why they will not give you a delivery date(note that we're will be a cost for that) or you could collect yourself and save the delivery cost.


I hope it works out for OP, respect his move to make good the selling of a car he knew had outstanding finance paying the full value ignoring 6montjs wear and tear and depreciation. Fair play.
Bold to do it without he car back in your hands but if you have concrete agreement from the bank they are returning the car at no cost to you and debt is taken off the car that's some comfort.

Haha I knew someone would hit that. Hi 5

Why are Barclays still holding the car? I would be on my way to collect it.

So you have no car and no money? Sounds like it's all tied up nicely.

So are Barclays going to just drive it over to you one day when they feel like it?

He has prevented legal action against him so £12k well worth it.
Now he gives himself the challenge of getting the car back.



I'd guess the car has lost a few £k in depreciation in 6montjs plus what will be on he V5 2 extra owners.

You don't go to anyone, it's not your problem. The people who had the car repossessed from them need to progress it.

Legally yes - but from a moral perspective I'd be wanting to help as much as possible,

HPI the car now.. bet the marker is still on it.

Exactly.

OP what's the reg number - I'm sure we have people here who will give it a full HPI check for you for free as they are in the trade.

Unless OPminus1 has cleared the debt then it's Banks property not OPs.

[BertBert]

No, keep up at the back. Read the thread. The premise is that Barclays took the car away when they shouldn't have as the car was bought in good faith.

That's what the op is relying on.

OP what's the reg number so we can HPI it?

Very strange thread - things don't seem to stack up

Let's hope OP will post up reg number so HPI checks can be done for him.

[BigLion]

By way of note, if a car is sold by a small trader it can have finance on it that may not flagged on HPI. Something to do with stock finance...

Not relevant here but shows the pitfalls.
