In a predicament now, for sharing.
Sold my previous C class to a dealer (no naming at this juncture), pass them the additional amount for the full settlement with the bank. That was in Jun 12.
Jul 12. I received a call from the bank to ask for my instalment so I was shocked. Told them that I had sold the car and pass all the full settlement amount to the dealer. Well, bank said "no, it is not full settled yet".
I went to the dealer immediately and they told me that it will be done "soonest".
A pal advised me to go to LTA to make a report and so I did. LTA called the dealer up for a "talk" for settlement of the case. I asked the LTA officer how long will it take for them to transfer my car. He told me that it is between me and the dealer. All they will do is to fine them and that is all. I was shocked.
Dealer was pissed that I went to LTA. I realised that I am at the losing end and LTA is not helping. I told LTA to end my case. Dealer continued to pay for my car's instalment and promised to do the transfer soonest.
Along the way, I checked with them every now and then; and it is always a story about an expat who is awaiting for funds to come in.
Time passed.
One fine day, I got a lawyer letter about an accident btw that C class and another ride. Apparently, that expat got into an accident. I passed them the letter and told them that this is inconceivable. The dealer took my documents and told me that they will settle it thru their insurer. I did not hear from that law firm again.
Time passed.
Along the way, I checked with them every now and then.
Last week, I got a letter from TP about speeding in that C class and that the road tax is due. Called the dealer. Did not pick up my call. Paid them a visit and lo and behold, that shop is G.O.N.E.
B.E.S.T.
Have found a lawyer and they will be sending them a letter on Monday.
I hope things will be resolved soon.
Don't flame me as this is my 1st unfortunate encounter. Of course, in retrospect, I could possibly have found a lawyer earlier and others but chose to believe in them until such a state. Could haves, should have...
For sharing, pls.
Have a great weekend.
