  Can I lose a car I bought if the seller had also sold it to someone else?

  Last week I got the shock of my life when a woman contacted me to find out where the pickup is. She claimed that she had also bought the same pickup recently, but did it when she was out of the country. She claims to have the original logbook which is in my brother-in-law’s name and is just waiting to transfer it.

  Can we pursue a defaulted hirer for an outstanding balance after auctioning the car?

  Luckily our brother is an auctioneer, so he helps us recover and sell cars whose buyers have not been paying. Two months ago, we repossessed such a car. The buyer had given it to a Shylock and his cheques had been bouncing.
