lol,,, no mate ,,, no not a job i could do,,, i know its peoples own fault,,, but i would feel sorry for them

But why should the innocent buyer have to fork out for a £15 check mate..? The way i see it if its sold then you have bought it in good faith and you should be liable for nothing and the original loan

did this job for five years...one of the best iv'e had,, differant situation everyday.. not cars ,,houses,, did hundreds....feel sorry for em,,not really..not when you see how some live..[and you hav

might start parking it in the garage more :whistling:

 

A lad on last weeks kept parking the car a few streets away from his house because he knew it was only a matter of time before it was repo'd.

 

The lads found it though and siezed it.

 

It is bullshit how the new owner gets the debt with the car, but as said, whats £15 to check?

 

Saying that it shouldnt be the responisbility of the new owner "because he brought it in good faith" is daft. The same could be said for stolen cars, if you buy it in good faith you are still breaking the law by purchasing stolen goods and even if you had just paid £15k for the motor, it will be taken off you and no compensation given.

 

Yes in an ideal world no one would take out log book loans or steal things, but thats not the world we live in, so better to run the checks IMO.

Are you sure? To break the law you have to be aware they are stolen goods, buying it in good faith would imply you were not aware. So you're saying if I went to the local carboot and bought a second hand lawnmower for 40 quid that turned out to be nicked I would be locked up even though I had no reason to believe it was anything other than legit? Nah, that's bollocks.

 

So I'd say the two situations are nothing alike.

One is non intentional handling of stolen goods the is other is the intentional handling of stolen goods one its a criminal offence and the other is not. :laugh: although there is an offence of theft by finding :laugh: :laugh:

No, you aren't breaking the law as you had no idea the goods were stolen, so you won't get locked up, but they WILL be taken off you though as in theory they weren't the other person's to sell.

I never mentioned getting locked up fella.

 

I said you would be breaking the law and it would be seized.

 

Its called handling stolen goods. It replaces the offence of receiving stolen goods under section 33 of the Larceny Act 1916.
