Title: repo of car
Post by: LOFTY on December 19, 2005, 19:40:39: Well heres a challenge,
Man owes money, say Ã‚Â£20k, man he owes it to, gets him to sign over ownership of his car as payment for the Ã‚Â£20k, free from any legal encumberment, or outstanding HP.
On collecting car, the Police come around with HP man, saying they want there car back, when told that it was signed over, with signed document saying"free from hp", so possesion 9/10 ths of the law?????????? :?

If It was that easy everybody would sign their cars over to their best mates.

I'm sure some one say this is wrong!!!

but it is what happended to a mate of mine, they came to repo his car a few weeks ago and he challanged them on it via prior knowledge for CAB and they left the car and rescheduled his payments to what he could afford.

Post by: xmob on December 20, 2005, 20:19:48: Once 50% has been paid, car can be returned to HP company with no further payments due.
Once 66% has been paid, car cannot be repossed, but is still property of HP company.

Since he has declared something that is untrue in order to profit financially.
