The day before Discover went belly up I was due to collect and pay for a MH retained under a deposit . I got a tele call with inside info that they were in trouble so I delayed collection and kept hold of my hard earned cash.
What I did not realise was that discover had already registered and taxed it my name for the next 6 months and a week or two later the reg document arrived .
I am therefore the reg keeper of a vehicle I do not own . I tracked the vehicle back to the finance company in the hope of dealing direct with them but they had already sold it on at cost to another dealer .
Unseen and prior to arrival the dealer agreed to let sell me the vehicle under the same terms but when it arrived they contacted me and jacked the price up by a considerable margin.:Angry:
I politley refused . I also politely refused to send them the registration document.
How simple it would have been to go to to new aquiring dealer , pay over the money and drive away . Now they will have to apply for new reg document and and add a further owner to the vehilcle.
I dont think I have any legal redress as as I was never the legal owner . Frustrating tho Money waiting, the MH sat in prep and ready to go
