Don't u think u are the one supporting street way....cos that's what the buyer is trying use here... ...The buyer has no right under any law to force the seller to sell....weda he paid in installment or at once......

We can't even call this issue seller's remorse because goods has not change hands and no receipt given... technically...sale has not happened

Missowombo:
Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.
​
I bought a car, direct from abroad, a very clean and sweet ride, and registered in September, 2023 (5months ago). However, due to the high fuel consumption( V6, 3.5l engine) and the ever unstable fuel price today, I decided to put it up for sale to get a smaller engine capacity. A neighbour expressed interest in buying the car and decided to pay in installment which I agreed. I was also searching for a replacement at this time hoping to use the money realized from the sales to get my preferred ride. My preferred ride prices were shockingly high such that even if I doubled the price I gave to my neighbour it will still not be enough to buy the new ride. Prices rise by the hour these days in Nigeria and I have no hand in this crisis. I returned to my neighbour to inform him that I will not be selling the car anymore due to the present crises in prices of goods in the country. I apologized profusely for every inconvenience and transferred his money back to him. He got angry and said that I must submit the car key and documents to him. He even threatened to send his community and area boys to beat me up and extract the above items.

I came back from work to see my car jacked up, surrounded by 2 other vehicles to prevent the car's exit. For the records, there is no written or signed agreement between him and I concerning this sale. I refunded all his money 1 day after he paid his last installment and kept back my car. I have no hand in Nigeria's current problems. I am pushed to use force here but I am thinking that some initial peaceful resolution could be an option.

Missowombo:



Thanks a great deal. I was not even expecting his last installment so fast as that was the same day I had a change of mind. The total duration of as transactions is 5 days

Missowombo:


Well, it may be something close to this. I spent 7million Naira for the purchase of that car and was to sell at only 3m. The car is neat, elegant, commands so much stare and respect wherever I drive to. I sparingly drove the vehicle as I was trying to conserve fuel.

You need some education on law of contract.. Read and research.

Lol....go and carry ur research and teach ur family members at home....u want to form brilliant but u ended up saying nothing....

which law of contract allows buyer to jack up sellers car becos he refused to sell his goods..??.which research told u this??

There's is no sale here.....he paid but there was no exchange of goods or receipt...... He can't force the seller to sell his goods.....

He can only argue other technicalities in court
...... like if he has official proof he borrowed money with interest to pay for the car ...which can make a judge award small compensation
. No judge will force a seller to sell his goods

Bobochicago:


I wasn’t going to respond , but your comment made me to . Op is a dishonest businessman, I agree . But legally ?? There is no case . There were no witness , and no legal documents. So it’s their word against OP. It’s a case of “he said “ , “she said “ , “she didn’t say “ . Op can say the money was transfered to his account as a loan which he has promptly repaid with evidence. It’s all word of mouth at this point . No evidence . The law is based on fact and evidence. It’s a lesson for everyone , even if na your brother , make sure you put pen to paper and sign with witnesses as well. It’s hard to defend cases without evidence . Op would likely win in court .

Shellsploit:
Tear the original car document.
Thats the only way to resolve the issue



Speaking from experience.

Sucre6:


Well it's easy to say when u don't know me.

PepeXKermit:


That car does not belong to the seller the monment the last payment was made, even if there was an initial payment, the car does not belong to both of them anymore except an agreement was breached.

nedekid:

Its your father that gave birth to an uncouth halfwit that is foolish. Infact calling you foolish is a compliment.
Bloody idiot, who is your mate?

Going by your gentleman agreement, there shouldn't have been an issue since it was an informal deal all along.

However, keeping his money even for 2 weeks before returning it back is a loss for him going by our galloping inflation.

You denied him good use of his funds and now returning it without interest.

By reneging on the deal, he comes off the greatest loser.

I would subscribe to this advice if he hadn't jacked his car and threatened him to submit the keys, first of no written agreement I t was based on gentlemen understanding, and for car way you paid on installments and the money has since been refunded.

Dem no born him papa well, I will personally mess the idiot up, nah because op seems like a simp who doesn't know his right nah why, this can never happen with me, I go show am say him own craze they learn work

Sucre6:
See finish no good, same reason I relate with my neighbors on superficial level and they gimme my respect 100%, my intimidating muscular stature alone would make anyone think twice before acting laidat to me, it wasn't written, and it's instalmental, I have refunded all the money to you, what else do you want, dem no born that basstard well. I will beat you up, personally, use area boys to make life miserable for you as in they will be chasing you anytime you coming back from work and going to work,

I no get time to report to police, but believe me, this matter too small for me to handle. Them no born am well.

Localemperor:
Honestly speaking, without statement of doubt your parents and guardian wasted their money sending you to school. I have never in my entire existence seen an illiterate being so frivolously boastful.

That being said, let look at what the law has to say about ( Hire Purchase). When the OP did with the buy in the eyes of the law is hire purchase.

laws of contract, where there is no documentation or witness of any sort

Opiosko:
He may have borrowed money with high interest.
Why can't you keep your word?

Localemperor:
You don't need a witness when the transfer of money was done electronically. ( And the transfer carried the description " payment for car". )

Contract can also be entered orally!!

Read, Read, Read!!!

You sound naive, like an illiterate!

So if u want to enter into higher purchase agreement with someone...there won't be written agreement of total amount and the installments??

Can't the buyer claim u have not paid him in full after u complete ur payment?? There is no agreement here...only word of mouth
I will sell...pay me......I'm not selling again..... And u started insulting ur whole family.....

This is funny.....everytime u want to form brilliant u just end up saying rubbish.... Please carry ur 10 year old IQ out of my mention....
