The brief fact of the case is that, the complainant being an educated and unemployed person had purchased one Truck in the year 2018 being financed by opposite parties for his livelyhood and maintenance of his family from the earning of the vehicle. As per the agreement opposite parties financed Rs.26,15,000/- which would have been repaid in 57 installments @ Rs.69,700/-. The complainant used to pay the installments much or less in time and due to mechanical trouble most part of the income were spend in the repair of the vehicle and due to detention in garage the complainant could not able to pay one installment in time. On 23.5.2018 the opposite parties without serving any notice regarding the outstanding with proper calculation and adjustment wanted to repossess the vehicle where it was parked for some wheel repair, but failed to do so as the vehicle could not be moved without tyre and now threatening the complainant to repossess his vehicle at any time with help of break down service without any settlement, which is clear deficiency of service and monopoly trade practice of opposite parties.
