Long story short, I know I effed up but need to sort this asap.
Has anyone had experience in such matters? I know this guy won't turn up to court, he is just making this difficult for me.
- I had a new car loan for my business
- in 2015 I decided to sell the car
- Neighbor (another business) said he will take the car and take over the loan
- He registered the car into his business name
- 3 years all ok no payments missed, March this year he defaults on the loan balloon payment
- Finance company repossess the car, following up on the matter a few times, he tells me he doesn't want the car anymore and he wants to return it (witnessed by 2 people on 2 days)
- I asked him to state that in writing or sign the rego papers back, he refuses to sign anything
- I pay the loan out to avoid a credit default and take the car back
- I go to the RMS with receipt from the finance company RMS refuses to register in my name, tells me I need a stat dec
- I get a stat dec done, RMS again further refuses, saying they also need proof of ownership/entitlement from a court
