Car problems
Hello everyone
This is my first post so hope someone can help
I purchased car on private sale back in may
I had some niggly problems with car and seller decided he would buy the car back. he only sold it as his wife was pregnant and its not a family car.
He was supposed to have bought car back last week. The problem really started when he stopped responding to emails a week previous.
I checked if car still had finance outstanding which it has and was being dealt with by recovery department.
I knew car had finance on it prior to buying it but was assured that it would be cleared upon buying car.
The seller has not cleared finance but i bought car i good faith. finance company are seeking to recover the car.
I did not know that it was illegal for seller to sell the car in first instance and really did not think finance company would chase me for car, would have thought that would be between seller and finance company.
What grounds do i have to keep car?, and what steps must finance car do to retrieve the car if they can take it back? i:e can they just take it or is it done through courts etc?
Also what chances would i have in sueing this idiot?, would appear he is likely going bankrupt.
it is really annoying as i have funny feeling that car can be removed and i will lose the money as well. basically this guy has stolen a lot of money and will likely get away with. if this is the case then who says "crime dosent pay"
Any help appreciated
Thanks
