Hi can you contact me regarding this thread please

The court writ prevents me form hiding the car , selling the car or making it difficult for them to recover so basically the car needs to sit on my drive not costing any money to store it. where it is safe and unused I think that I would be better placed to present that. I agree the finance company should go and chase the dealer Oops but he has ceased trading so I guess that just leaves me to chase. I had faith in the british system but I am seriously having doubts now... i just hope the Sheriff can smell a rat and see that this is a case of money laundering for the dealer and we have been caught up innocently in it all...We have an appointment with a solicitor tomorrow and if he thinks that we have nothing to worry about I intend to hit them with everything costs, distress damages and anything else anyone can think off let me know

yes they sent writ to prevent me from selling damaging concealing the vehicle.

Believe it or not I did that immediately when I found out and although they promised to get in touch never did despite me calling them and asking them to call me. they were the ones that served the Writ for posession of the vehicle they say that I handed the vehicle over volantarily to the garage and by doing so I surrendered my right to title its all a load of lies the vehicle was in my posession at all times the bit that I keep looking at in their writ is they are not quite sure how I managed to get the vehicle back WHAT I always had it. Just a right mess we are an innocent party in what i think looks like a fraud and the ones that the finance company what to pay for it instead of it being between teh dealer and them

Hi Rebel sorry for posting in wrong eyes are a bit of a blur what with all the crying I'm doing :0( I did contact Trading Standards they are aware of this garage but there is nothing they can help me with due to the fact that I have been served a writ. I tried to contact the police when I found out they had raised finance on my car they said that I had not lost anything yet as I still was in posession of the car the V5 and the two sets of keys? However once I was served with the Write I took that as me having suffered a loss ! so I contactedc them again and they came out to take a statement. There is a DC dealling with the investigation into the garage who I know contacted Trading Standards about the Garage so he isn't due back until tomorrow hopefully he will call me then once he reads my paperwork which was faxed to him by the local Police. K

I have the car at the moment and always have had. The buyer couldn't collect the car as it wasn't in the dealers posession The Agreement was signed by him but it looks like he signed it 2 days previous when it was proposed the Broker has been in liquidation since last June I checked with companies house and they confirm then I checked with the Liquidator and they confirmed but yet the broker was using the paperwork of the company that was in liquidation over a year ago ???? There is a question of fraud here so def ceased trading all cars were moved overnight. Most certainly did it to get finance before they went into liquidation and had the money for over a week apparently but we were not aware that they had made this sale. We signed paperwork to say that the car would be on a sale or return basis but we would not leave our car and we deleted a lot of the conditions as well as adding the car would not pass over to their posession until payment had been cleared funds in our bank account have made an appointment to seek legal advice on Wednesday earliest date I could get but thought someone on here might be able to offer some advice as well

Hi all I am hoping someone can help. We took our car to a car dealer to see if they would buy it they said NO but they got enquiries all the time and asked us to leave our car we said NO. They asked us to sign a sale or return document which I scored out a lot of their conditions and added one of my own that the car would not be handed over until the cleared funds were in my bank account we left an took the car with us. They called 2 days later saying someone had came in looking for a car like ours and could we take it up to let them see it we did the guy had a car to sell and they were looking at taking it off him again we left with our car. I called them 2 days later to find out if the they needed a copy of the V5 to confirm how many owners it had so I emailed them a copy. I heard nothing more from them. I called them 7 days later they couldnt even remember who I was nor the car but said they would get back to me the next day they didnt I called them again the following day to be told they ceased trading. It has came to light that they raised finance on my car for this guy took the money and then ceased trading. I had the car in my posession at all times V5 and both sets of keys. The finance company have now issued a summons for me to appear in court they say they own the title to my car . I am frantic with worry how can this be. The car wasnt there when the guy signed his paperwork but the finance company Santander released the funds to the brooker who told the guy that he could pick the car up once the agreement had been confirmed. Can anyone advise me what the outcome of this mess is likely to be ? what I can do to try and come out of this with my car still in my posession ?

Hi all, We employed an Architect's firm to submit a planning application for us. They did this and it is currently ongoing. After they submitted the Planning Application they moved onto preparing the Building Warrant Package. Then they went into liquidation. We paid the fees due for the Plannng Application side of things but have not had the full service which we paid for bearing in mind that they submitted the application but then there was no follow up with Planning in effect we paid for a service that we never had. The Liquidator for the Architects company then contact us to say that they want us to pay for the drawings up to date which we will have to get another Architect to look over make ammendments deal with planning and building warrant control this will all cost us money. We feel that we should not be paying for these drawings and be free to use another Architect of our choice but the Liquidator has said that if we go else where the next Architect will have to pay them to allow then to carry on with our project. Can anyone advise we are desparate. Thanks
