- Viano ex long, 651 2014. S211 646 2009 (till the Gov't drones blow 'em off the road)
The buyer, who is actually the mum of the negotiator is in Cornwall. I don't see that proof of I.D alone gets me anything of advantage.
Should things go pear shaped I need name and address to persue. And they need to have assets to threaten.
The car can change hands in minute or two. Even though I may prove there was no right to transfer on I have a big problem to recover it. Even then it needs finding and transporting, if it's still whole.
The mechanic is a 3rd party acting similar to a courrier, I don't see I have any claim there.
Terms like a recall of funds is unusual doesn't give confidence. A 10 million to 1 chance of being hit by lightning is no comfort when you get hit.
As I understand banks do what they want, and 1st priority is to recover their losses if the fraud would cost them. Better for them that it costs me.
Should I trust that funds in will stay in?
A mechanic with mates is a risk already considered. I'm distracted, another drives away. They say the transaction was completed by the negotiator, the Police, if / when they turn up say it's a civil issue. And the Viano is long gone.
Unless he intends to flat back it there must be a second driver. I need a 2nd attendant.
