Abandoned, unwanted or unlawfully retained vehicles can create a range of problems for businesses.
They can take up valuable parking spaces, attract unwanted activity, become a health & safety issue, become an eyesore, get damaged and even vandalised.
Professional vehicle removal and repossession services can provide a safe and practical solution while ensuring the appropriate procedures are followed.
Dealing With Abandoned Vehicles
An abandoned vehicle on private land can quickly become a nuisance. As well as taking up valuable space, abandoned vehicles can create security concerns and may attract crime or other clandestine activity.
A professional vehicle removal service can help identify vehicles that have been left on private property and arrange their safe removal and disposal where appropriate.
Identifying the Registered Keeper
Before an abandoned vehicle is removed, it is important to establish the relevant vehicle and registration information.
Professional enforcement providers can use vehicle information and recovery solutions to check details such as MOT status, insurance information and DVLA registration data.
This can help establish the registered keeper and ensure that the appropriate notification process is followed in accordance with applicable legislation.
Vehicle Repossessions
Vehicle repossession is a separate process and can arise where a customer has entered into a finance, hire-purchase or other agreement with a creditor or lessor.
These agreements can contain contractual terms allowing the creditor to repossess a vehicle if certain conditions are met. However, the legal position can depend on the type of agreement and the circumstances surrounding the vehicle.
Understanding Your Legal Position
Vehicle repossession is not always straightforward. For example, where a debtor has paid one-third or more of the total price under certain Consumer Credit Act-regulated hire-purchase or conditional sale agreements, a creditor may generally need a court order before recovering possession.
There can also be restrictions relating to vehicles located on private property. This makes it important for creditors and businesses to understand their legal position before arranging a repossession.
Professional and Safe Vehicle Removal
Whether dealing with an abandoned vehicle or a lawful repossession, using an experienced professional can help ensure the process is handled safely and appropriately.
A reputable provider can assess the circumstances, identify the relevant vehicle information and carry out removal in accordance with the applicable requirements.
