Bank siezed car auctioned off but not transferred in the name of buyer


05-Jun-2023 (In Recovery Law)
I had purchased a commercial car WahonR on bank finance and was unable to pay the EMI's for the same after a while. Bank called me for a meeting in this regard and at the meeting asked me to handover the car to them if I was unable to pay the EMI's. I did it and they asked me to give them in writing that I am surrendering my car as I am not able to pay the EMI's along with original documents. I did that tooLater they auctioned the car at too less of it's actual value and are now hounding me to pay another 150000 INR. It has been more then an year since they sold off my car but it is still in my name and the ownership of the car has not been changed or transferred. Now I am unable to pay the bank due to me being jobless and also worried what if the car gets in some accident or get involved in some unlawful activity will I be responsible?nnPlease advice what should I do in this regard.

You need to communicate with the bank officials and also with the person who is in possession of the car right now through a legal notice. And in that notice you must mention to transfer the car in the name of the concerned person who’s in it’s possession because if the car get in some accident or get involved in any unlawful offence then the you will be liable for the same and the police may arrest you in such circumstances. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

Why you should file a case against them as they that a recovery team has mislead you and cheated you after saying this that your loan will be closed after getting or sending your car but they have not close your loan and still your loan is showing in your name as well as your car is also in your name so in this case a fraud case is to be filed by you in the name of bank and recovery team so that you can be free and you can also file a compensation against them for breaching of trust and misleading you and cheating you under section 420 of IPC

Going by the limited information provided by you I could understand that the car has been sold to someone else but the papers are still inypur name. It is important to get it transferred as if it is used in someother illegal activity police officials will nab you. It is important to send them a legal notice with this respect so as to save your interest.
