Help required - Bike repo

[ManDownUnder]

He's in Oz, and we have a way to find him (via Old Friends)

Is it possible to register the debt with the courts or somesuch, so if/when he ever comes home to NZ he's requested to pay?

The other thing is he has relatives in NZ. They will know how to contact him and may provide those details (with a suitable story attached)...

OK at least you can be reasonably sure the money went somewhere traceable, and that the repo man was legit, although I can't understand $1000 owed $7500 paid.

If he watched you log on, change the password.

Possibly you could contact your bank, and see if the transaction can be reversed - after all you were intimidated and threatened - there is no way you would have paid this otherwise until discussing it with family and your lawyer.

Indeed it has not been transferred yet - the bank will have moved the money from your account, but it won't be transferred to Haldanes until tonight.

This makes me sick, I feel you were bullied, and I hate that.

not this guy - http://www.oldfriends.co.nz/memberpr...ber_id=898177?

That sure sounds like him , looks like he is in Aussie ,but where?

[surfer]

If he is on a production crew get a list from the yellow and white pages of all the production companies in Australia and NZ and then call them. It is painstakingly looong and boring but you will find him. All they need do is confirm that he is there.

she didnt pay by cheque!

wow that sucks

how much is the bike worth? was it worth another $7500

as someone else said i would cancel the cheque - say you were intimidated into signing (hopefully u didnt pay cash), and make sure the bike doesnt go to your address until this is sorted. they cant take what isnt there

maybe say your son doesnt live there and you havent got his current address - that was the excuse i got from the court baliffs when i was owed money from a disputes tribunal hearing

funds cant be reversed unless its going to the same bank, ie westpac to westpac account.
Id go see the finance company, i cant understand why he made you pay 7500 if he only needed 1000 to be paid. i would make a complaint against the debt collector.
If you paid the bike shop, go see them for the rest of your money back, if you can get 6500 back then cut your losses on the grand, you will prob never see it, if he was willing to rip you off selling a bike he hadnt paid for hes never going to pay up.
Good luck with it.

.............What can I say I'm a dumb blonde under duress.

settle down Gal ..... we all know it's difficult to think straight when you're stressed ........

.... same as we know it's wrong to back down to bullies - but you have to remember that repo people earn their living by learning to outfox people and get them off balance ...

.... easy enough for us sitting here reading this to say what you SHOULD have done - but i'm sure it wouldn't be as easy as that when actually FACED with a threatening situation like that, totally out of the blue

go easy on yourself - coulda happened to anyone

[crashe]

meon3 - Can you ring Haldanes and ask them what is the total amount owed on the bike? We can post up the shops new phone number for you.

Or could you perhaps pm someone very reliable here in Auckland and ask them to do it on your behalf to cut down toll calls for you. To help you sort out the actual amount owed.

If $1000 is owed, what is the other $6,500 for?

Yup, sure can. Happened to me with a right bitch from out west Auckland. I bought a Commodore, paid cash and inherited her debt. It didn't come to light until I went to a Holden dealer to trade it on a newer one. I now know to do a check on any vehicle before purchase. Repo man tried to take the car but for some inexplicable reason it's vanished! Funny that. It's cost me, but I've learnt. I wouldn't give a repo man the stink off my pooh, let alone 7g's. Leaning on a lone woman like that makes him a right tosser, job or no job.
