Thread: Car lease company in Liquidation

Please Help!!

I took over a lease form a business associate last July 08, the lease was transferred to a private type instead of company. I signed the hire agreement although (despite asking 4 times) received no small prints T&C's. Foolishly I paid the 12 month lease up front and now they (Goldrolls Newcatle) have gone belly up.

I have just taken a call from the receivers, who tell me they want the car back now and I have no rights to keep it as the asset is owned by Barclays and they are calling it in. Surely they cannot just do this, I wonder also how may other people this may happen to given the current economy.

Please help with any advise, should I just refuse to habd it back until end of June.

Kind regards, Jayne

Hi folks thought I would update you. We again have had nothing in writing from either the bank, the receiver or anyone. However tonight a thug turned up on the doorstep demanding we move our own car and hand over the keys to the leased jaguar as he was a collection agent. We explained the dispute and refused to do so, he returned to his van to make a call and came back 10 minutes later saying he is authorised to ake it and he will hire a crane to move our car (which along with the jag is parked on our driveway) and smash the window of the jag and hot wire it. We will then be charged for the damage!! We again calmly asked for his ID, to which he replied he didnt have any, but he would ring his boss from his mobile and we could talk to him - oh boy it gets better.

Talk about timing, our friend who is a traffic cop in South Yorks rang to ask about our holiday just as matie boy thug left, he said its illegal and to call the local police. Which we did, they have been up and have the full details and confirmed the actions are illegal. So the Jag is in the garage (locked and alarmed) our shogun is two inches from the door and the dogs will sleep in the utility tonight.

This situation is horrible and being a mum of 3 young kids is in my opinion totally unacceptable, if Barclays are in fact involved. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
