Not an expert on Canadian law, but common sense suggests it's more complex than that.
You cannot simply throw money at a lease provider and gain title of a vehicle.
The lease provider can impose other conditions on title transfer (e.g. early repayment fees)
If you're throwing large sums of money at them, they should probably perform some anti-money laundering checks before accepting the money.
If you're paying cash, they may justifiably not want to handle large amounts of cash.
It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that return of the dealer's GPS tracker (and possible payment for removal) could also be conditions on them transferring the title.
The article is unclear on whether the title was actually transferred before the disagreement over return of the tracker.
- adekok 9y ago> The article is unclear on whether the title was actually transferred before the disagreement over return of the tracker. Yes, the article is abundantly clear. You're getting downvoted because your position is counter to available facts, and your logic is faulty. He owned the car. They had no legal right to disable it. As the article says: Quebec's Consumer Protection Bureau said it is illegal to charge fees not included in a signed contract. The office also said a lender has to furnish a borrower with notice of 30 days before acting in such a way. Immobilizing a car could amount to a form of intimidation, which is also prohibited under consumer protection laws, they said. Your position is essentially that illegal behavior is fine, because, well, it's not "clear" that the behavior is illegal. Despite oodles of evidence that it is.
