Got to laugh at you lot. How successful would he or any repo person be if they were built like a racing snake?
Ok the guy is never going to be a member of MENSA but I don't see him doing anything wrong, just taking cars off scrotes who don't pay the finance.
Certainly that's my take on it too. I can't see that the guy is doing anything wrong at all. There's a certain sympathy in this episode because a few of the repo's are due to previous scumbags who haven't paid of their loans before selling on. In the last episode he was dealing more with the scumbags who just weren't paying their loans. I know he's got cameras on him so he's probably on best behavior, but he seems to be a fairly straight forward guy.Ok the guy is never going to be a member of MENSA but I don't see him doing anything wrong, just taking cars off scrotes who don't pay the finance.

Looks like a psychotic, violent tosser. Great television.
really? He looks like a rather sad little bullyboy who gets his kicks pissing on little people. Including taking car keys off 15 year old girlsHe's doing something legal and the only morons are those who think they can keep what isn't theirs.
He seemed a reasonable bloke, probably the kind who doesn't resort to abusing strangers on the Internet to get his kicks.
Out of interest, from a legal point of view, where does section 27 Consumer Credit Act 1974 come into play:
Where the disposition referred to in subsection (1) above is to a private purchaser, and he is a purchaser of the motor vehicle in good faith without notice of the hire-purchase or conditional sale agreement (the " relevant agreement ") that disposition shall have effect as if the creditor's title to the vehicle has been vested in the debtor immediately before that disposition.
Where the disposition referred to in subsection (1) above is to a private purchaser, and he is a purchaser of the motor vehicle in good faith without notice of the hire-purchase or conditional sale agreement (the " relevant agreement ") that disposition shall have effect as if the creditor's title to the vehicle has been vested in the debtor immediately before that disposition.

The cars in the programme were subject to logbook loans, and were probably bought with no V5 so it would be a question of whether or not the new keeper has title.

Maybe the above is just a guess.
I actually thought he was ok. Yes he comes across full on, no sympathy and all that but after a few years doing it you would. But the program does hint that these debts are months old. The "owners" of the cars have had plenty of time to sort their lives out and when they stop paying the loans up till the point the finance company/bank gets money back from the repo car, who picks up the bill?? Us, with higher interest rates and bank charges.
