The Complainant had remitted all the installments except two installments amounting Rs.4096/-. The complainant is ready to remit the two installments, provided that the key and RC book are to be returned to the complainant. It is known to the complainant that the Centurian Bank was closed and entire records were missing. OP2 and OP3 are now trying to collect maximum amounts from the exditors. The complainant issued a legal notice expressing his willingness to remit the installments even offering an amount of Rs.6000/- and demanding key and RC book after canceling hypothecation entry. The complainant received a notice issued by third opposite party demanding an amount of Rs.10896.74 and threatened that possession of the Vehicle will be recovered and the Vehicle will be sold. The third opposite party is not having any authority to do so. The complainant has no privity of contact with third opposite party. Hence the complaint is filed seeking relief.
