    Great caller. Explained the issue well. Done his homework already and has taken very sensible steps up to this point. Sounds like he genuinely is a bit stuck. I like the way he politely challenged some of Daniels points too around selling the car.
    Much prefer calls like this than chancers and loonies who ring up with rambling nonsense.

    I was told this is a classic way to stop cars being taken by bailiffs, log book loans for silly values that your never pay off.

    The finance company owns it you can’t sell it until the finance is clear the storage debt is between you and the customer if he has signed a document agreeing to your terms

    Perhaps send the bills for the storage costs to the finance company, as it is ultimately (at this point) their car??. Once you are in a proper conversation with them, they will maybe engage with you more positively and something can be worked out. it might also be worth asking a solicitor how to put an order on the car stating that the finance company (or anyone else) can't take the car without clearing it's debts.

    The car belongs to the finance company, so invoice them

      The labour costs for stripping it would probably be too much. His costs would be far higher than a scrap yards costs so he wouldn't be able to sell the parts at competitive prices

    A difficult situation. I'm curious if the owner is still paying finance on it. If not I'm pretty sure the finance company would be taking a very keen interest in it's location by now, so that suggests they are still paying which suggests they do intend to collect it one day. How curious.

    Hopefully, 21 days notice that his car would be sold at auction was enough to get him moving.

    The local authority has a statutory duty to remove abandoned vehicles. This applies on private land. Would need some research, but this could probably meet the definition of abandoned if the owner has no legal right to leave their vehicle on the land.
    Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978

    Can he really sell a car that he doesn't own ?

    • @kelmanl4
      @kelmanl4 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      He owns the car now, the DVLA transferred ownership but he needs to finish the payments before selling or arrnage it with the finance company first. Usually a garage will pay it off or the you use the money from auction to pay it off.
      You can absolutely sell financed cars to garages, i know people that have done it with full disclosure. They just subtract remaining payments from the value and pay it off.
