Hello everyone
on Wednesday I bought a car knowing that some work was needed. When asked why he was selling it the guy told me that it's come to the point where he can't justify spending anymore time and moneyon the car which is fair enough. The car was parked outside the garage's property, I had a look at the car and spoke to the owner/ mechanic. He said it was a decent car and the owner had just had some work done thennhe eent back to his office. The car doesn't start or drive so I asked the mechanic to do the work on the car to which he agreed. I didn't a car check and everything came back as expected including no finance left on the car. Pai8d by bank transfer, did an online change of owner and sent pff the V5.
the next day I brought the mechanic some parts and he asked me 8f I bought the car, I said yes. he then told me that the previous owne4 still owed him money for work he hadn't paid for. without sayingthe words he implied that he would release the car until he got his money. I didn't sa6 anything to him as I didn't want to play my hans. I think about just turning 7p wi5h a car recovery and just tak8 g my car. As mentioned, I won't be trespassing as it's parked on the road, he's not started any work and I've not paid him any money.
Whatever the arrangements was between the previous own and the mechanic had nothing to do with me.
Im I in the right. im going to the local police station and tell them my plan. Also can I ask them to come with me so that isn't a breach of the peace and that jo blood is spilt?
Regards
