Can anyone give me any legal advice??????
|
My daughters friend wanted to buy a car from us. He agrees on a price of £120 (its an old car) but can only pay £50 at that time and agrees to bring the other £70 when he gets paid. I got him to sign the registration document but i never posted it. He went to london in it and never came back to pay the rest. We went to his flat and his friends gave us the key to the car and said take it back, the car has been broken into and the lock on the door is damaged and the steering colum is broke. Anyway we got it back and his girlfreind is demanding the £50 back. Were do we stand legally if we refuse to give it back because of the damage to the car. It is still registered in my hubbys name but the kid did sign the registration document. Are we still the legal owner or is the kid??? Need advice urgently. Thanx.

Contact the DVLA, i this is not leal advice but they'll tell you straight,
I personally think the car is still yours and the £50 can go towards the damages caused while the lad had it, but i recomend phoning them |

It's the risk anyone takes when they buy / sell a car through a private sale.
This is ultimately the sellers fault for not taking cash in full. But I'm sure you have already realised that.
From a legal viewpoint, there is no way that they will be able to take back the £50 at the point of sale, because the V5 logbook was signed and dated by the buyer. If they approach the small claims courts with this they will laugh at them.
So let me get this right. He buys a cheap car without paying in full - takes it away - it gets broken into - you collect the car as not paid in full - he gets his £50 back? NO CHANCE. |

The registered keeper is not necessarily the owner. If you sold the car for £120 it now belongs to your daughters friend, and he owes you £70.
Your daughters friends girlfriend is not the owner so has no right to 'sell' it back to you, no matter what the price (ie not even if the price is nil)
However if you end up taking the car back and no further money changes hands it should be assumed that you have bought it back for £70.00.
You are not entitled to keep the £50 to pay for damage to your car. But you are entitled to sell it for £120 then buy it back for £70.
The difficulty comes getting the log book in your name again and without any new keeper details, that will need a signature from your daughters friend.
In honesty it's all for such a small amount of money that you should all just put it down to experience. No police or court is going to be interested. |

Why have you not notified DVLA on change of keeper the form is part of the registration document but is not proof of title (ownwership) ? |

nothing in writing on either parties side, its yours, but to avoid family conflict settle for just another £50, take it to the breakers to recover some of the debt. |
