Car on finance problem

Sharon,

If you purchased the car on finance, it surely means that all the paperworks are in your name. Whether that guy was paying the loan back for some time or not does not really matter as you will always be the legal owner of the car (when the loan is paid back in full though because the finance company has rights on it until the finance is covered).

Is the registration certificate in his name by the way? You can sue him anyway because he's driving a car that doesn't belong to him without the owner's consent. Tell him you will be seeking legal action if he does not return the car to you. If he still keeps the car, then you will need to get a solicitor to serve him letters and proceed to court eventually.

Hi,

Thanks for that, the documents were in his name, but last time I spoke to him he said he would put them in his dad's name, thinking that would stop me getting the car back. I am bothered that if I send him a letter he will go and sell the car and I will never find it.
