Log Book Loan - car repossed in 2013 - suitable solicitors

[Fifitrix]

I recently submitted a DSAR to a company I had a log book loan with in circa 2011. The car was repossessed off my drive as I was about to leave on holiday.
2 men arrived and physically blocked my drive and prevented me leaving and took my car keys.
The DSAR contained no signed Affidavit or signed Bill of Sale - all documents were blank. There is no signed loan agreement and I never got a notice of intended vehicle repossession although I was in arrears and had arrears notices.

I am trying to get through to the Bill of Sale Register at the High Court to see if I can get authenticated copies of the relevant docs as the log book loan lender states the date it was registered with the High Court but there are 2 different dates on the unsigned papers they submitted as part of the DSAR response.

I have emailed the High Court multiple times and have tried calling multiple times - always about 40 people in the queue. Trying again now.

My next move will be to find a solicitor who might have specialist knowledge of Bill of Sale law rather than just contract/litigation experience.

I know I can search the Law Society site or call them to see if they know anyone.

Has anyone successfully taken a log book loan lender to court for unlawful repossession or are there any successful case precedents I can check out on Baillie?

Thanks,

Trix

You may have a problem here with the 6-year limit for bringing claims under the Limitation Act 1980. atticus may be able to comment further on this.

What action have you taken between 2013 and now (other than submitting a DSAR)? Have you started any court proceedings?

I agree that any claim appears to be time-barred under the Limitation Act 1980.
