They are open until 8pm get on the blower now it's £12k surely worth the effort.

Why not post the reg?
For privacy, and because I don't want some idiot calling Barclays now and complicating things. I have had a kind message from someone and will provide them with the reg to check for me.BigLion said:
I hope you get the outcome you desire, but I do question the integrity of selling the car on when it is reasonable to assume finance was outstanding - I know you plead ignorance on this but that call from the dealer is the nail in the coffin.
Karma has a way of delivering and if you were aware I hope you get nothing back.
Big difference here - I've realised my mistake and made things wrong. 99% of the people posting here would have done things differently to that.Karma has a way of delivering and if you were aware I hope you get nothing back.
While I wait for the car, one thing I can do is put together a damages claim to submit. How much should I be claiming? It's obvious that Barclays have acted in a very shady (and illegal) way and caused me a lot of stress.

Glad a fellow PH is getting the HPI sorted for you. While I wait for the car, one thing I can do is put together a damages claim to submit. How much should I be claiming? It's obvious that Barclays have acted in a very shady (and illegal) way and caused me a lot of stress.
On the last bit of your post I'd be very very wary as they could turn the cards on you and the police as to why you sold a car which you'd been told on a few occasions by them and by a trader it had outstanding finance.
Get the car back enjoy it move on life's too short

I guarantee you barclays would have played it by a water tight book...
Technically and legally, they have stolen my car for a month. They don't have ownership of the car, or rights to the car.Only the other day did you pay them back the cash.
The vehicle is still in the last owners name per V5 isn't it? Have you sent the V5 to DVlA to notify change of ownership back to you?
Actually I'd be now going after the people you sold it to as they have had 6 months use of the car for free wear and tear plus depreciation + I assume they didn't service it either?

A service is the least of the worries in this scenario, how much would that be; ~£200?Only the other day did you pay them back the cash.

You don't own the car - or if you do then it's only a few days it's not been present.
Service
Tyre wear
Brake pad and disc wear
All components wear
Mileage
Depreciation
MOT is now not 12 months it's 6months
Additional owner on the log book
That will be in the order of thousands.
Unless you Strictly want to focus on a service rather than think the whole picture it's not the true cost.
The stress thing - is without question self inflicted you sold it knowing it had outstanding finance on it. Had you not and dealt with it then (with the associated stress) it would be fine.

At what point have you concluded that it is 'your car' - has all the finance being cleared for example?

This would have been a completely different outcome, had the buyer been a women,
The fact is, that 2 big intimidating Romainians have scared 12K out of the OP.
I would have been going to court with the lot of them, if I bought this car in good faith.
When my fiancee's brother sold his old S Class Merc earlier this year, four eastern Europeans turned up to collect it. They told him to take less money than they agreed for the car, and even demanded money back for fuel.The fact is, that 2 big intimidating Romainians have scared 12K out of the OP.

He did feel a bit intimidated (wife and baby in the house), so did do an extra deal on the day. Sometimes, turning up with the heavies or with others seems to work.

If that were me I'd refuse to sell the car. He did feel a bit intimidated (wife and baby in the house), so did do an extra deal on the day. Sometimes, turning up with the heavies or with others seems to work.

Cant add much to the thread other than say there is no way I would post the car details up on this or any other internet forum.
Why is that?We must be very similar minded

you forgot to say the 944 was a made up story thou/fantasy.
But the point was everything needed documentation evidence even insurance documentation. Still it's humorous and being 4 to 5 years ago it's amazing that it's so fondly remembered by so many.
