Is this an amical disagreement? Just get them to change the ownership back when the vlc gets posted out.

How long have they got the car, when were they supposed to pay you for it? What reason have they given for non payment?

Place in Sligo won't just send the form back to you, if they did the entire process of car transferral in the country would collapse.

Two days I sent off the form now can’t get the money and just trust people too much when that person has left everyone down before

I sold a car to my sister a few years back and allowed her to pay it in bits and pieces, suited me as I didn't need the lump sum to be honest.
Then payments stopped, she cried poverty being broke, unexpected expenses etc....was pretty pissed off with her as I knew she had the money and was out at weekends and would buy herself new stuff all the time.
Just had to stick at it, eventually got paid.
Couldn't get it signed back over without her signing too. Your relative might sign it back though but it's a messy situation

Very messy especially when u have done a lot for the person and then abuses the trust

So you knew that when you sold the car to this dodgy individual - yet you still sent off the form? Was that wise?

Has s/he even got car insurance? Did you take your insurance disc out before you handed the car over?

The car insurance disc is out I don’t understand what you mean . I explained it all at the top of the thread there is no need to come in with this harsh assessment of my problem and the person has insurance on the car . It was not wise sending the form off now that’s why I asked the question here for help in finding out what my options were . Don’t reply again I don’t need someone who has issues what ever they are and don’t take it out on me

To be fair, your OP is not very clear.

But there's not much you can do. Did they pay you anything? How close of a family member are they? Could you tell their parents?

You signed the form willingly and sent it off.
The process doesn't allow for changes of heart as far as i know

Can/would you take the car back?

I would take the car back it’s hard to do it tho

Harsh lesson learned here I think. There's no way now to change it back without their involvement, so I hope for your sake it wasn't a car off much value.

You can't even claim theft as you gave them the keys and signed the log book.

Was it an expensive car? I know someone who's car was stolen when taken for a test drive and they lost several thousand Euro.

If it's not worth a lot of money perhaps simply blacklisting them for life is better for you than ever having anything to do with them again.

For the record, I didn't make any assessment of you, harsh or otherwise. I simply set out the situation as I understood it and asked you for your own assessment of it! Goodnight.

Forget the change of ownership, consider that done. Now you need to get tough and pester them until they pay you. You are wronged after all.

You can’t do that unless you can prove/establish that the family member never intended to pay you (fraud, a criminal act) as opposed to failing to pay you (a civil matter). I assume that you did not have any special conditions attaching to the sale, sending off the change of ownership is evidence of this. If you attempt to take back the car you could be charged with theft. Be careful!
