Question posted in the National Credit Act Law category relating to KwaZulu-Natal
Good day,
I want to find out about the repssession law.
I have a car that is going to be repossessed, but my mother-in-law uses the car. I bought the car so she could have a vehicle. Now the sheriff of the court tells me that if the vehicle is not on my property, they can open a case at the police. I am not hiding the vehicle, I am willing to give the address where the vehicle is, they just need to get the vehicle there as my mother-in-law lives in the Western cape, but I live in Kwazulu-Natal.
My question is, can they open a case against me?

Hi there,
I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.
"Now the sheriff of the court tells me that if the vehicle is not on my property, they can open a case at the police." --> lies, all lies. There is no obligation on you to keep the vehicle on your property, or even to tell the sheriff where it is. The sheriff must find it.
They can't open a case against you, because you have not broken the law. You didn't steal the car!
Att. Patrick
