My partner sent off his Mazda rx8 for repairs a year ago, the people collected it from where it was (due to it not being able to be driven) – we heard nothing from the people and they ignored constant calls – we contacted police etc and they registered it stolen and ‘sorn’ . We later got a letter from the DVLA claiming that some one was trying to claim ownership of the car etc. Police tracked it down to where the car was, with help of the DVLA and collected the car. All was well and good until a few weeks ago when we found out the gentleman who had purchased the car (from an auction house) is now wishing to take the car to court to battle the fact that he is the true owner of the car. He has no paperwork, no log book nothing!! We are now being told that if he win’s we have to pay £500 court fee’s and if my partner wins he will have to pay for the car to be released from the Police up North!!

Could any please shine a light on this situation with any advice that they know of…I know for a fact that the gentleman can’t claim ownership due to having none of the paper worn and it was his mistake for not checking the car history online (or through the DVLA) before purchasing. He has paid for the car to be fully repaired but end of the day that is his own fault and not our problem?

Thanks!
To those who have replied – I’m unsure of how to reply back to your comments or directly to you but thank you for your input – its much appreciated, at present I am fuming as I know its wrong. I did accept the fact that if or when he wins the car back we would have to pay for it to be released and collected (which in my opinion is wrong as the police shouldn’t make the owner pay) but we expected that
Again; still haven’t worked out how to reply to people individually – in answer to those about insurance etc; nothing has been paid out to my partner from insurance – he hasn’t had anything through. All we have been told (as of today 5th Aug) is that we have 14 days to reply back to a letter saying that my partner is the true owner of the car…if the other person involved replies too saying he is owner than it goes to court for two hearings…one being a 5 min hearing and the other being more in depth…it states on the bottom of the letter that the looser pays £500 court fees and the winner of the hearing pays the storage charges of the vehicle (which i find wrong although it is my partners car – as it should never have been put in storage once rcollected from the person who bought the car)

Hi I bought a car from Arnold Clarks on hp. Was unable to complete payments as had to give up job to look after ill partner. The Finance company reposseced car back in good condition. They sold it below market value and sent me a bill for £1345. Why should I pay this? they have thier goods back and is not my fault what they sell it for. They have there goods back why should I admit Liability.
