QUOTE(NewlyAwakeN @ Apr 1 2008, 10:26 PM) [snapback]1282126708[/snapback] As someone said previously, dont' pay the loan and let the bank reclaim your car. This might mean you can't get a loan for a year due to bad name etc, but it's better then paying for a car you don't have. Also, please keep this civil and well mannered or it will be closed. Also, could someone please PM myself the name and location of this business for personal reasons. Thank you. Sorry i told him the same thing ,its a personal loan he used on the car ,its not secured againsts the car .. |

Certainly an incovenience but this story does not ring full true without more detail . If the proper procedures were put in place to collect the debts , the orginal owner would be entitled to copies of documentation throughout the process . Simply it should not have come to this unless it was ignored until it was too late . |

look you guys have your opinions an answers , i thought the same thing when i found out what was goin on .. i said call the police report it stolen ,answer its a civil matter if the shop has interest in the car meaning it owes them money its non police matter an u cant report it stolen if u handed them the keys . next one small claims wont deal with the matter if you got no evidence or not in writing an he sighned a job card autherising them 2 carry out the work but only the work he asked 4 ,so who knows what they can add on to it . next one the law states a thing called repairers lien ,which means they can have posession of car til paid in full . next one who 2 say what price they can charge ,there is no governing on these shops . next one .. the law states if bill not payed in 6 months he has the right to sell only 4 the amount it owes him , nothin saying he cant buy it himsef ? .. next one ring any fkn solicotor an c if they know what u can an cant in this situation ,every one i phoned to help him an his frustration all said there not up to date on this an they will get back to me an the only answer i got was you cant sue him til bil is paid ,then take him to court to claim . 2 fuckn late now . what can u do now ,the shop fuckd him but never broke the law by doin it . if u got a answer sure would like 2 know? |

I reckon this fella must have gone there for a service QUOTE(antonio @ Mar 30 2008, 06:47 PM) [snapback]1282115082[/snapback] Everything you would do at the regular 100,000km service, but obviously now since your in the 200,000km bracket and generaly most engines around this time start to get some generic problems of being an old car forged rebuild would be a good base to start with for the service. |

I know the shop you are talking about and I don't think they could be arsed going to all that trouble. I bet they just wanted to be paid for the work they did. well you got nothin to worry about then have you ? feel free ,what you do an who u choose to do work is your choice ,since u know them like many others have 2 an have stated there opionon with not so many good ones mind u ,thats up 2 u . good luck |

QUOTE(HSV @ Apr 1 2008, 11:26 PM) [snapback]1282127112[/snapback] TRY to keep it within reason people. Legally they cant keep your car, call the Police, explain the situation, the car cannot be kept there you will find. Take a trip down there with the Police citing theft and you will soon find your car or your mates car or whatever back in your possession. Im sorry i will have to say your wrong there. I am a business and have gone through this process. They can keep the car as they have a special interest in the vechele due to moneies owed for services rendered. You have 6 months to pick up your car and pay the bill. They can not charge you for storeage fees however. If you do not pick up your car by the end of 6 months the company must then place an add in at least 2 i think newspapers that curculate the state. after that they must apply for an order to sell your car through the courts under the uncollected goods act. Once they have obtained the grant they must sell the car at a public auction. If they have not followed this to a the letter they are in breach of Queensland law and then they can be sued and or charged with motor theift. |
