Transaction has been completed without you even knowing.

If I was your neighbor, I will proceed to a court and have an injunction restraining you or anyone from driving that car until the suite has been entertained by the court to determine the legitimate owner of that vehicle.

Mind you this suit can take five years to determine, no issue will drive that vehicle and the good thing is that he already has his money back as a guarantee meaning he has nothing to loose in making life difficult for you as a dishonest business man.

An oral agreement is admissible in court mind you and he has bank transactions to corroborate his oral evidence. People like you who think you can repudiate an agreement when the other party has fully complied with the terms of the agreement should be taught shown a precedence so that you don't do it to other people in the future.

In your mind you are smart, you don't even know the buyer has lost money because of future value of money. That you find yourself in this predicament has nothing to do with the buyer, business has been completed and there is nothing you can do about it. No court will give you custody of that vehicle of this matter gets to court.

The best for you is to seek peaceful settlement outside of the court process else you will loose everywhere.

Going by your gentleman agreement, there shouldn't have been an issue since it was an informal deal all along.

However, keeping his money even for 2 weeks before returning it back is a loss for him going by our galloping inflation.

You denied him good use of his funds and now returning it without interest.

By reneging on the deal, he comes off the greatest loser.

The buyer can turn the card on the seller by seeking a restraining order on that vehicle. The seller will loose, transaction has been completed and the seller has no right to unilaterally repudiate that agreement without the consent of the seller.

If your story is true, allow the mumu neighbor to do his gra gra finished..

Then come back to him when you found any crash or damages in your car..

He will still calm down, if you react now, he will get more evaporated which may not be good to you.

I have encountered people like that your neighbor..

The fact here is everything is win win win for you so calm down...

I no get time to report to police, but believe me, this matter too small for me to handle. Them no born am well.

You are already in the bad books of the law from that transaction and you want to do more putting you in a tight position.

The moment you said you returned after paying you the last installment indicates he has done his own part of the deal and you can't change the goal post while the game is on without consequences.

That dude needs a restraining order on that car, he should make it useless for the next five years in order to teach you a lesson as pertaining to sales contract and the disadvantages of repudiating one without recourse to gentleman agreement.

What are you yammering about?

What bad book of law when the transaction wasn't legally bound in the first place? And he's already breaking the law by hijacking his car and threatening him to hand over the keys? Are u that weak?

Dear Family landers. I am here to seek your advice on how to rescue my car from my neighbour.
​
I bought a car, direct from abroad, a very clean and sweet ride, and registered in September, 2023 (5months ago). However, due to the high fuel consumption( V6, 3.5l engine) and the ever unstable fuel price today, I decided to put it up for sale to get a smaller engine capacity. A neighbour expressed interest in buying the car and decided to pay in installment which I agreed. I was also searching for a replacement at this time hoping to use the money realized from the sales to get my preferred ride. My preferred ride prices were shockingly high such that even if I doubled the price I gave to my neighbour it will still not be enough to buy the new ride. Prices rise by the hour these days in Nigeria and I have no hand in this crisis. I returned to my neighbour to inform him that I will not be selling the car anymore due to the present crises in prices of goods in the country. I apologized profusely for every inconvenience and transferred his money back to him. He got angry and said that I must submit the car key and documents to him. He even threatened to send his community and area boys to beat me up and extract the above items.

I came back from work to see my car jacked up, surrounded by 2 other vehicles to prevent the car's exit. For the records, there is no written or signed agreement between him and I concerning this sale. I refunded all his money 1 day after he paid his last installment and kept back my car. I have no hand in Nigeria's current problems. I am pushed to use force here but I am thinking that some initial peaceful resolution could be an option

you returned his money, ONE DAY AFTER HIS LAST INSTALMENT WAS PAID. Oga you no try ooo. Why did you wait till after he finished paying? You knew all along before he completed his payments, you should have infomred him then. You just dashed his hopes when he was sure he had a car. Hos only fsult is that he didnt have a written agreement else, you for pay money wella for this breach of contract.

I had something else in mind until I started reading people’s comments on here, omo I guess I still have a lot to learn sha.. from comments I’ve read on here, seems you’re wrong..
Call on people the man respects in the community and beg him on your behalf.

that car is no longer his,man has paid the last installment.

If the neighbour has paid the last instalment and depending on the time frame taken to make the complete payment, he may just be in the right.

Don't take rash action, you need a man-to-man talk. Don't go into arguments or call the police yet. Don't pitch adding any extra money rght away as well. Let him gas all his heat down then ask him what he wants: anything different from taking the car.

Blame: you should have made your research about your next intended car before placing the initial one for sale.

You arent a good business person. So you had to wait for him to make a final paymnet before refunding his money to him? Are you kidding me. You didnt make up your mind at the beginning or midway but at the end? You trapped his money for a period, the money lost value and you are returning same to him. Thats not fair, you dont do business that way. If i were him, I go comot 2 tire and rims go sell am. Since transaction is alreqdy informal it will be leave and let live or live and let die.

Read my comment and show me where I supported street.

Legality and street is a two way street, I said he should take a restraining order from the court and not what he is doing. Don't just jump to commenting without critically put my opinion correctly.

TO avoid unnecessary troubles, add a little interest on it. If he still goes ahead to cause wahala... Get him arrested, make sure you're the first party to report to the police. Pay the interest first o. It's important, that is the only way you can be exonerated. Pay at least 10% interest so it won't be a bad bussiness for him altogether. That is wisdom.

chidekings:
that car is no longer his,man has paid the last installment.

That's same thing I'm telling him, he can be arrested for trespassing. The buyer should activate his legal options right away.

Wahala.

He that was paying installmentally nko?

What was the time frame of the payments

Days? Weeks? Months?....

This people are terrible people. This thing can only be done by them. Im not selling, na by force again??

Caaz:

Our friend has changed Monika

... Which of our friends is that ?

Offer him some monetary compensation. You breached the contract, even though that it’s oral, the agreement is binding if he has witnesses and it is enforceable against you.

[quote author=advanceDNA post=128477819]Get the police involved now, now ,now....
...otherwise he will disfigure the car or cause irreparable damage u won't be able to prove he did....u would lose from two angles

Thanks. The man is a chieftain, an influential person in this town, he has many police officers and area boys under his care. Infact, one of his sons is a soldier. Involving Nigerian police here seems dicey.

Sucre6:


I would subscribe to this advice if he hadn't jacked his car and threatened him to submit the keys, first of no written agreement I t was based on gentlemen understanding, and for car way you paid on installments and the money has since been refunded.

Dem no born him papa well, I will personally mess the idiot up, nah because op seems like a simp who doesn't know his right nah why, this can never happen with me, I go show am say him own craze they learn work

The fact that there was no written agreement between them made him susceptible to manipulation too. Money has exchanged hands through bank accounts, and that alone serves as evidence there is something between them.

You might think you have an upper hands because there was no written agreement, but what if the man also claims that he promise to pay him double if eventually decided not to sell the car again?

He need to apply wisdom in this case. You don't just return people's money when you fail on your part, you offer them interest even before asking. This is the only way you make victims not to feel cheated. In 99% cases, the affected person don't collect interest because they are already at peace with your attitude.

Going by your gentleman agreement, there shouldn't have been an issue since it was an informal deal all along.

However, keeping his money even for 2 weeks before returning it back is a loss for him going by our galloping inflation.

You denied him good use of his funds and now returning it without interest.

Thanks Man. The total duration of all these is 5days, from the payment of the first installment to the refund of his money. The delay with refunding his money stemmed from his refusal to release his account number to me. I have had previous transactions with him not related to the current issue, so I got his account number from there and refunded.

Missowombo:

U still have to involve the police....we all know somebody ...u sef make a few calls high up...

[quote author=gaby post=128477976]You guys should try and resolve this as adults in an amicable way.

I'd advise you to factor in paying him some extra as interest on his cash that was held by you for as long as you did.
