    I bought a car and sold it straight on as i got a better deal on a different one. It was sold within a week of buying it and i never drove it. My boyfriend did all the dealings with the sale of the car as he is a mechanic and gave the logbook to the buyer to post after i had signed it. A while after i received a letter from the toll bridge company to say i owed for two trips. The new owner was notified and said he would ring and pay over the phone that evening. About a month later i received a solicitors letter saying i owed €300 and would be taken to court i rang them and explained and they told me to ring the tax office, the tax office sayed that the logbook had only been changed into the new owners name 2 and a half months after the sale of the car. My boyfriend didnt have a contact number for him but knew where he lived just not the house number so we kept looking out for the car. Eventually my boyfriend found him and he appoligised and said he would ring then, later that evening he told us he had rung and paid the fee and it was all sorted. Two weeks ago i received a call to say i am been taken to court as they have never heard from him, the tax office told me there is nothing they can do unless i can find him and get him to put in writing the exact date he bought the car and i dont know what to do. His neighbours said he moved out a few weeks ago so i have no way to find him now.

    Giving the logbook to the buyer is the problem, your not supposed to do this, ever.

    Unless you are selling the car to a person that lives outside of Ireland.

    Your boyfriend dropped you in this one. He should know better than to hand over the book to a stranger. Then when he did manage to catch up with him, he simply said goodman yourself and let him disappear again.
