Help required - Bike repo

[Mully]

Legal minds might be more able to answer this too:

Is there any point in going to the Police and reporting it for fraud?? Would it help in a disputes tribunal case?? Can he be served court/tribunal papers by mail (in AU)?? Can he be compelled to come to NZ to face the hearing??

Failing that, getting in touch with Farqwit and trying to appeal to his better side (don't think he has oine to start with though).

Just putting it out there.

Your not the only one he's ripped off or owes $$ to...
What an asshole!

[Patrick]

Without any paperwork, he had no right or authority to be there... should have told him to leave your property or the police will be called as he would be a trespasser. He had nothing but a business card??

There may be a debt owing, but it wasn't with you.

Info a little too late now though I suppose... but dickwad did commit an offence (under I think...the Hire Purchase Agreements)... selling the bike while owing money and not sorting out that debt himself. Legal advice definitely needed, but all not lost, I feel...

[LilSel]

Do you have his e-mail addy Krusti?
PM sent

on a side note, was a VIR done on the bike before purchasing (couldnt see any information about that in the thread).

If one was done, and showed no money owing it is illegal for them to repo the bike even if there is money owing on it, if you didn't do one it might pay to.

The reason I say this is my first bike I purchased got repo'd (hadn't done a VIR) so then I talked to someone who gave me the same advice, so ran a VIR and there was no record of money owing (the company had stuffed up and didn't submit this baycorp or something) turned out it was illegal for them to have repo'd the bike and I went to the shop that had it repo'd and got the bike back without having to pay any money.

Might be worth looking into as they legally have to register the money owing on the bike to be able to repo it.

Fingers crossed you get something sorted out!!

Verrry interesting. Krusti, if you think nothing good can come out of this ... it already has. Well for me anyway and I have your thread to thank for it.

I have seen a bike on Tardme that i might be interested in. Because of this thread I ran the VIR. It has a Security on it with the Credit Union. He has two bikes registered with greater than $10k owing. No problem I think ... I'll just talk to the guy and work out how to safely pay for it and make sure it is discharged.

So I ring him, chat about the bike. Not happy that he does his own servicing but oh well. I ask him if there's any securities on it. "Nah mate, she's all clean. Check the numbers, you'll be right, I'm on a month's holiday so just keep in touch"

Ooookaaay ... so he lies about the security, is on a month's 'holiday' (out of work?) and in Auckland (me in Welly). After reading about Krusti's repo, The Grub is feeling less that confident about the whole thing.

and I have no idea what to do next.

Thanks for that , they were due to catch ferry home at 6pm but it had mech troubles so they caught the 2.30 one, and instead of staying in welly the night they have decided to ride straight home (I think they may think I need a hug... which of cause I do).
We may be spending a bit of time in ashburton after June as the son has been offered the job down there that he went for interview for. He's over the moon and I just want to cry more (ha ha typical female)

If thats the case please put something on his auction stating he said no money owing, but you did a VIR and there was. Stop some poor guy going through what Krusti is at the moment!!! Or report him to trademe stating what is happening.

Actually, can you PM me the link if you don't want to, people like that fuck me off big time.
