Ayemileto:


How far.

How did you resolve the matter eventually?

ajog1:


1.Deals like this are initiated when a life is on the line. As in desperate moment. Haba, very kneel-jerky move on your part.
2. Deals like this ( whose consequence you can't bear )aren't done within familiar-confines-ground.

lionphil:



you returned his money, ONE DAY AFTER HIS LAST INSTALMENT WAS PAID. Oga you no try ooo. Why did you wait till after he finished paying? You knew all along before he completed his payments, you should have infomred him then. You just dashed his hopes when he was sure he had a car. Hos only fsult is that he didnt have a written agreement else, you for pay money wella for this breach of contract.

MarketDispatch:


Agreement is agreement...you kept his money and made it lose value in your account...give the man his Car since he didn't renege on the payment

TheWinterBird:
Submit what car keys and documents to him? He has a lot of audacity making such demands, not to mention hijacking the car after you've returned his money. Next time, you need to think things like this through before proceeding and you should also document every transaction and with signatures just so it wouldn't be a case of 'He said, she said'.




Does that mean you sold it to him for a cheap price? No wonder he doesn't want to let it go. He got a nice car and for a cheap price (because you just wanted to hurridly make money from it) - a deal he wouldn't have been able to get elsewhere. That was simply poor business on your part.

yemmit90:
You made a mistake by sending him back exactly what he paid, you should've at least added something as interest for him.

The man feel cheated, he might even thought you spent his money to solve an issue but used car as a cover up. Don't use the police or take law into your hands if you want peaceful resolution, call some respected or good neighbours to help you beg him that you are ready to add something for him as interest. You may be surprise how easily the issue will be resolved. He may not even collect the interest again after seeing how genuinely sorry you are.

The only option you have now is to beg him.

Thanks so much. I never spent his money. I have apologized and pleaded with him. I was surprised that he went ahead to jack up my car.

Atk1nson:


The good thing is he paid by instalment.

In the normal course of business, title is not transferred until full payment is made.

So even if you made a commitment to sell to him upon (full) payment, the fact that you rescinded the decision before he made full payment puts you in the green.

However, if he can prove he did borrow to make that purchase, you may owe him the interest on the loan as he took the loan because you gave him a legitimate expectation that the car could be his.

However, if he has made full payment, that becomes tricky as you are reneging on a verbal contract and should compensate him well for the inconvenience
