Re: car sold while still on finance with out consent
Hi Fairy Dust,
If you can't get CAB or a legal professional to sit in on the meeting, it is perfectly okay for a friend or neighbour to sit in instead. As long as you have someone with you as an independent witness, that is fine. If the bod from BH objects, too bad. He either likes it or lumps it.
Make it quite clear to him that you are going to record the meeting with your voice recorder and, remember, it is your home he is in, so don't let him try to bully or bully you into doing what he wants to do. If he produces a voice recorder, tell him to put it away. If he will not co-operate or becomes abusive or aggressive, I would advise you to warn him that if he does not co-operate or cease being abusive or aggressive, he will be asked to leave. If you have to do that, do so firmly and assertively. Make it sound like you mean it. If you are not happy with his behaviour in any way, you are within your rights to ask him to leave at any time. Bear in mind that he is a private fraud investigator, not a police officer. He does not have any police powers, nor can he make you answer his questions and you do not have to answer any questions he asks you.
I am somewhat puzzled as to why he is coming to see you when he knows the police are dealing with this. Have you spoken to the police about his visit? Are they happy with him getting involved? Certainly, if he asks for copies of any documents you have already provided to the police, including printouts of emails, I would direct him to the police station dealing with the case.
I have sent you a PM in addition to making this post.
