You really need to back up your case with more fact for me to accept it. Also could we just confirm this is your opinion based on the law. Not your legal fact.

With respect, the advice is to the OP - not you.

And yes, my opinion is based on my knowledge and experience as a solicitor.

Equaliser123, ignore MrCEO he's the banned Annihilator, aka Judas (also banned) returned to MSE to annoy.

I think you are right. But what a sad, sad individual that he thinks his view is so important that he keeps on re-registering.

He can't get out very much.

ive been to a solictor who thinks i have a very good case after reading letters from dealer. and the reason why i havent gone to court yet is because car has been stood for over 2 years and dont have funds for tax mot and what ever else is wrong after being stood that long.

after reading this bit I think you are on a wind up,

READ THIS CAREFULLY


YOU DO NOT OWN THE CAR ANYMORE

Possibly a wind up but why do you say that ownership is no longer OP's?

OP hasn't been back to say that he has sold it on, so I don't see what hart is basing this statement on myself. Unless of course they have mistakenly assumed that the finance company have title (or indeed ever did)?

nearly two years ago now i got a personal loan to buy a car from a local car dealer, a renault clio 172 cup 52 plate, 38k fsh, 3 months warranty from the dealer. i had the car little over a month, then coming home from work one day the car cut out at 70 mph,, i then got the car towed to the dealer where they said they would get it checked out,, it turned out the cambelt had snapped causing damage to engine.

well the dealer said they would do the work which wos great but after 2 months of waitin they phoned to say it wos done but i owed them £1000 towards the repairs which wos £1500,, and they would not let the car go until it wos paid. i believe there arguement wos that the damage wos caused by miss use.
i refused to pay the balance as the dealer stated this after the work wos done! which they went ahead with on there own..


after this i stopped paying the loan back as i didnt hav the car,, and after a few months the dealer wos saying the car belonged to the finance company which wos not true as i am still being chased for the laon money today. the debt has now been passed on to a different company and the car is still at the dealer and is still my car, but i refuse to pay a £1000

what can i do?? any help please??

This implies to me that the car has been re-poed by the finance company and sold on to the garage(hence why they have it)and the OP being chased by debt collectors for the balance,
however why the garage have not sold the car after 2 YEARS is strange

it is not the OPs car to sell,it is owned by the finance company untill the financial deal is concluded

Not sure I read that the same way. Admittedly it is a strange situation.

mate ive just had a letter renew the sorn on the car so obviously its mine! the garage is holding the car because they want money for the repairs and not money for the finance! the finance company couldnt care less where the car is because its nothing to do with them as they told me!

You may be the registered keeper...does that make you the owner though?
