Hi NISH40, thanks for that, I have taken your advice and done so.

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.

Hi MrSHed It appears (which was news to me also) that it is owned (at least it is now) by Barclays. As I have nothing in writing, I just keep asking the collectors on the phone for more info each time they ring. I have started writing a log of all these conversation just for future reference.

These are the collecting agents on behalf of Barclays not receivers -sorry. They have told me that if they dont collect in 2 weeks then the car will go on to the stolen register!! I have had nothing in writing from Barclays nor the collection company, as I said to the guy on the phone, he could be anyone trying to get me to hand over something. I also said I want written notification, together with a document explaing what is happening and against what clauses in the contract, signed officially by Barclays. Obvioulsy I am a creditor to Goldrolls and not Barclays who own the car, so handed it back means I lose out. My worry is if it is regiseted on this stolen list and I am pulled in by the police what then.I could always take the wheels of it and park it somewhere other than my driveway!! Oh what a nightmare.. Thanks again in advance.

Hi Thanks for that, I agree in fact they have just rang actually, again I stated that I will not give up the car until the end of the term unless they refund the money I have paid. The car is insured fully comp by me personally and I have also just had a full service completed and 2 new tyres. Unfortunaltely no T&C's

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, I am new to this forum but hope you can help. Last year (July 09) I took over a lease as a favour to business aquiantence, who had sacked his employee. The lease company - Goldrolls sent the forms, which were changed from a company lease to a private one through e-mail, however no Terms and Cnditions were sent - despite numerous requests. Foolishly, I paid the 12 months lease upfront instead of by mobnthly installments (to the end of June 09) and hey ho the lease company have gone into liquidation and want the car back now. Do I have to surrender it as I havent breached any terms - although I never received any.. In fact I have paid in full and this amounts to over £1600. When I informed the company, they said sorry but the bank owns the asset and wants it back. I really dont know what to do. Please help if you can Jayne
