finance company has taken my car away because my brother was caught driving it with no insurance,what can i do?
2 days ago, my brother stupidly took my high performance Mercedes vehicle without my permission. Later that i discovered he was arrested for driving with no insurance. I bought the car on finance, bought it for ?34k and put a ?10k deposit down, so far i have paid off 1 years worth coming to about ?6k. The finance company say that i have breached the contract as no one else is allowed to drive the vehicle at any moment with no insurance and that they have the right to either sell it, (as they own it) or they are asking me to pay the whole finance off (including interest and extra fees on top coming to over 40k. i just dont have that sort of money. I have never missed a payment and due to my younger brothers stupidity i have to pay. He is getting 3 points on his license and has a ?200 fine but i dont see why i have to suffer in this. Is there anyone out there at all that can advise me who to see or whom to speak to???


Sounds like you did not have insurance on it yourself.
All insurance companies cover uninsured motorists in the US.

If your brother took it without asking report it as stolen or twoc…taken without consent…then your brother will get hit with a theft charge but at least your finance company cannot hold you to breach of contract because it was taken without your permission or knowing.

Thought it means dobbing your brother in..but it sounds like he deserves it for the trouble he caused you and at least he will owe you that.

Nothing you can do. You broke the rules so pay the dues.
Michael C | Dec 18, 2009


Presumably the police came to you as the owner of the vehicle and you told them it had not been stolen? This then tells the finance company that you gave him permission to drive it – so unfortunately I do not see any way out of your predicament.
However it is a credit/financial agreement so carefully check the details you have first, it is about the money not the car- so unless it states in the agreement that they can reclaim the vehicle, which normally they only get to do if you default on payments I do not see how they can do this.

You must go through the agreement first though – if it is too full of legalese to understand, try CAB,
or you could join which? legal pronto – and get some decent advice – they may be able to get you out of it if given the details of your finance agreement. Unless you have legal assistance with your own insurance/breakdown, who also may be able to help.
Sorry – best I can do.
Good Luck.
And I hope you haven’t got your brother a xmas present.

When it comes time for renewal car insurance is a no brainer way to save a lot of money. You can get a quick estimate at websites they usually give you competing quotes.

Diego R | Dec 18, 2009


what you can do all depends on what you and / or your brother told the police and the finance company.

Basically if no-one else is allowed to drive the car and you or your brother told the finance people that he was driving the car with your permission, then you are stuck and there is little you can do.

If, however, the police were informed that the car was stolen, then it is not your fault that someone else was driving the car and there is nothing the finance company can do.

It all depends whether you want to report your brother for stealing your car.

Best of luck

Great Raid, The (2005)

IMDB rating: 6.90

Plot: Set in the Philippines in 1945 towards the end of WWII, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Mucci and Captain Robert Prince, the 6th Ranger Battalion undertake a daring rescue mission against all odds. Traveling thirty miles behind enemy lines, they intend to liberate over 500 American Soldiers from the notorious Cabanatuan Japanese POW camp in the most audacious rescue ever.

Would it have been okay for Iraqi soldiers to have targeted journalists embedded with US troops?
According to an assessment by the DoD’s office of general counsel:
Enemy military forces are declared hostile. They may be attacked at will, along
with their equipment and stores. Civilians and civilian property that make a di-
rect contribution to the war effort may also be attacked, along with objects whose damage or destruction would produce a military advantage because of
their nature, location, purpose, or use. . . .
http://www.carlisle.army.mil/usawc/Param eters/05spring/payne.pdf

The author of the article quoting this assessment notes:
The broad outlines of debate are readily apparent, as illustrated by
the opinion from the Pentagon counsel quoted earlier. If the media are behaving impartially, then they are entitled to treatment as civilians. Where they are
not, the assessment of the general counsel suggests that they can be targeted
militarily. The trick is in making an accurate judgment about their partiality
and the motives behind it.

And this rationale was used by Wesley Clark when he requested permission to bomb Radio Serbia, because.
It is noted by the the Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting Group(FAIR) that:
Nato even lied about its intention to bomb Serbian television. We were told people in Yugoslavia do not have access to the Western side of the story–though in fact they do–and that airstrikes would follow unless Serbian TV carried six hours a day of Western news programming. When Belgrade offered to accept the six hours in exchange for six minutes of Yugoslav news on Western networks, Nato backtracked, saying it had only meant it would bomb transmitters also used for military communications. Nato also explicitly assured the International Federation of Journalists it would not target media workers. What are we to make of an organisation which kills others because it says they are lying, but consistently lies itself?

More recently, it was used during the attack on Fallujah:The city’s main hospital, on the western bank of the Euphrates, was closed by the marines.
Furthermore:
"The Americans put a sniper position on top of the hospital’s water tower and had troops in the single-storey building," said Mr Younis, who visited Falluja during the fighting two weeks ago. "The hospital had four operating theatres, which could no longer be used. If they had been working, it would have saved many lives." Younis is from the Doctors without Borders group.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/apr /24/iraq.rorymccarthy

And indeed, according to a New York Times reporter in an article about a raid on the hospital "[The Americans] made little secret of their irritation with what they contend are inflated civilian casualty figures that regularly flow from the hospital – propaganda, they believe, for the Falluja insurgents, whom they blame for much of the car bombings, beheadings and other acts of terror in Iraq."

If your spouse unexpectedly died in your bed, could you continue to sleep in that bed?
A friend of mine passed about a week ago, suddenly in her sleep. Medical examiner’s office still does not know the cause of death. Her father found her on her bed with her poor arms up over her head, her mouth open… lying on her bed. Her husband is obviously devastated, and my heart breaks for him and her family. I

I personally could never sleep in that room again, as it would be too painful. What is your position on this?


Nope, couldn’t do it.
dcokefiend | Dec 20, 2009


Truthfully, I wouldnt be able to sleep ther either. Sorry bout your friend. Best wishes.
puff, puff, pass | Dec 20, 2009


I would never be able to sleep in that room again. I know this sounds drastic, but I would no longer be able to LIVE in general.

A good friend of mine had a father who died randomly in his sleep about 5 years ago; her mom had to have her brother come and remove the bed from the room and replace it with a new one. She was absolutely devastated. Sobbed herself to sleep on the living room couch for weeks straight.
Emi | Dec 20, 2009


i deffinantly couldnt sleep in the same bed. it would probably still smell like her perfume, or the sheets mite still be wrinkled where she layed… you know that i mean? way too painful

i live in my great grandparents house, and my room used to be their room. i was told that my great grandfather died in this room, but it didnt keep me from wanting it when we moved in. but then again, i didnt know him. i was too young when he passed. i dont sleep in the bed he passed away in, but sometimes if i let my mind wonder, i get kinda weirded out just thinking about how this room was the last thing he ever saw, and now i sleep here

Can you please tell me of ALL the Classical Movie Soundtracks that come to mind?
I love this type of music and I feel like I’ve run out of new soundtracks. I’m waiting for new movies to come out so that I could enjoy their new soundtracks, especially John Williams. so…

Can you please tell me of ALL the Classical Movie Soundtracks that come to mind?
Preferably from composers like John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, James Horner, James Newton Howard, Morricone(or however you spell his name), Joe Hisaishi, and Howard Shore.

By good classical movies i mean movies with mostly full classical music themes with an orchestra or fewer instruments.

Many examples of Soundtracks that I enjoy: A Beautiful Mind, Cast Away, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Da Vinci Code, Empire of the Sun, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter Series, King Kong(new), The Last Samurai, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Passion of the Christ, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean Series, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List, Somewhere in Time, Star Trek(2009), Spirited Away, Sweeney Todd, Troy, The Village, Prince of Tides, Gladiator, and Indiana Jones. (These are a lot that I can remember, in hopes of giving you a great idea of what I like)


August Rush has a great soundtrack, its has a mixture of instrumental songs and ones with singing
you are probably already familiar with The Mission soundtrack by Morricone, just thought i’d mention it since it’s not on your list.
you might like the Atonement soundtrack also, Cinema Paradiso is another one by Morricone
if you havent seen The Holiday you should watch it, b/c Jack Black’s character is a composer for movies and there is a scene in a rental store where he picks up movies with his favorites scores and sings them, it’s really funny.

Should I hire a criminal defense attorney?
I was accused by the Dallas Police of indecent exposure in Oak Cliff on June 6. I was not even in Dallas on June the 6th I was in bed sleeping in Houston. The only possible way for me to have done this would be for me to be sleepwalking and buy a plane ticket and reserve a rental car, drive 35 miles to Hobby airport, fly to dallas, pick up a rental car, drive 25 miles to my dad’s house in Mesquite, get his car and drive it through Oak Cliff. That would be next to impossible. Also there are no records of me flying or getting a rental car on the 6th and all my bank records show I was in Houston. But yet the description of the offender matches me they are looking for a white male about 210 lbs with blue eyes and blond hair. It would be even more difficult for me to drive that distance while sleepwalking it would be a 8 or 9 hour round trip. In that case there would also be a record of me buying gas somewhere near Dallas, my car does not have the range to make the round trip on 1 tank.
Someone in Oak Cliff reported someone in a car exposing theirself. The tag number they gave matched my dads car. The description of the offender does not match my dad so they looked at his relatives and I am the only one close to that description. Also the person they are looking for is about 5-7 210 and muscular not overweight. Not too many people are 5-7 210 blue eyes blond hair. I match that description so to the investigator that is the simpliest solution. The most simple solution is that the tag number was reported wrong.
Other than relatives and my dad neighbors I only know 2 other people in Dallas. 1 of them looks like a mexican the other does look similiar to me except that I outweigh him by about 60 lbs. Both of them were in Tango Blast and they have gang tattoos. I do not have any tattoos.
I was also stopped that same afternoon around 3pm by a Harris county sheriff deputy for running 2 stop signs in my subdivision so I can prove where I was beyond a reasonable doubt.
The case has been resolved. I called the detective and faxed a copy of a bank statement proving where I was. He said its a dead end case.


yep get a lawyer, if you cannot afford one take all you have as proof in to civil liberty. maybe proven guilty for being overweight blue eyed blond in texas.
lari1307 | Nov 20, 2009


My first question, How did they get your name and information to charge you with this crime, if you
were not in the Dallas area. Your description fits approximately thousands of others in that community, How do you surmise they came up with just YOU.
Raymond | Nov 20, 2009


You really need lawyer. It sounds like some dirtbag used your identity and will probably do it again. This could be a bigger mess than you think. Could someone you know used your id? Do you know anyone who was in Dallas that looks like you? In Texas, we are finger printed when we get a drivers license. You really should get a lawyer and see what he says.
