Van Hire Agreement Commercial or Personal

[Ianok]

Hi from a CAG virgin.

 

I have a company in liquidation after our largest client went bankrupt owing us £150k and want to include a van in the liquidation.

 

The hire agreement says the 'hirer' is my company and therefor as far as I was led to believe a company hire agreement. They (Leaseplan UK) say this is a personal Hire Agreement which is regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Who could I send this to for confirmation. Local solicitors want £600 to read a 5 page document.

 

There is about £7000 redemption on the vehicle or 2 years to pay £235/month.

 

Love the site and hope to be active in it. i will certainly donate

 

regards

Hi Ianok, and welcome to CAG

 

Sorry you've been missed

 

Please scan up your agreement minus personal details and the t&cs

[Ianok]

Dear the oldrouge

 

Thank you for your response and as requested here is the agreement

 

I look forward to your thoughts.

 

Home Solar Saver Co LLP is a Limited Liability Partnership yet they say because LLP does not appear on the document it is personal. I am sure when completing the application I would have stated the legal status of the business.

 

Secondly If it was personal then my name would be the 'hirer'

 

Thank you so much for your help here.

 

regards

Hello there.

 

I'm sorry, I've removed your post because you've shown your full name plus the reg no of the van. Please could you cover up all personal info and upload the images again?

 

I would also recommend not mentioning your company name. Xyz LLP is all we need.

 

This way, you keep things confidential

Dear the old rouge

 

Second upload as I left some details in I shouldnt. Hope this one is OK

 

As you can see the Hirer is my company not me. They say there is no LLP status and therefore it is personal.

 

Thank you for your help

have unapproved, due to far too many personal details showing, for your protection

 

did you sign the agreement purely in your name?

 

and home address?

[Ianok]

Dear theoldrouge

 

Did you see the second upload with all personal detail taken out?

 

In answer to your questions

 

1. When I signed the agreement I traded fro home so my home address and trading address were the same.

 

2.I signed the agreement assuming I was signing for the hirer, namely my company which was on the agreement.

 

Thanks for your help

from the agreement, it states agreement between xyz co, A.Smith Proprietor

 

A sole owner of an unincorporated business, also called a sole proprietor. One of the owners of an unincorporated business

 

as you have signed purely as Proprietor, not as a Director, it would appear to be a personal regulated agreement as they say

 

What you need is a copy of the application form, send a full SAR to Leaseplan to see what they hold

 

without that imo you are going to be hard pressed to challenge

[Ianok]

Ho the oldrouge

 

My business is an LLP and I am sure that was stated at the onset of the application.

 

Thank you for your help and suggestion to date.
