NewNiceMrMe Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 You've no idea how applicable that comment is. About 600 yards on from where I took that shot, on the left, a 'new age traveller' park has sprung up over the last few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 No idea. Wasn't a breakdown truck as such. I always thought repo people worked in pairs and one drove the car away? Probably differs from company to company but I can imagine they get some grief on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patently Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 My M-i-L used to work for Ford finance. The reason they loved PCP deals was that they owned the car, so were perfectly within their rights to have a new key made up & just turn up & drive the car away. They employed some people who were very skilled at avoiding confrontation. Often they would arrive in the middle of the night to take the car. If it was consistently garaged or blocked in, they would start following the owner & take it from their work car park, or the supermarket, or wherever the owner left it for long enough.

Booster Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Thankfully it isn't something that we have to do very often. I tend to talk them into voluntarily surrendering it to us and on one occasion had to use an agency who just rocked up with a low loader and had it away. I stuck it on eBay as a repossession and the phone didn't stop ringing. People think repos are a bargain. I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. If they don't have the money to pay the monthly payments they aren't going to service or care for it are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
