A gentleman took to his TikTok account and shared the pain of losing his car due to the struggles of paying for it.

In the video shared by @jacob_mthombeni95, a tow truck is seen in front of their yard. He also captured the white Volkswagen Polo Tsi being taken away. The men were given papers to sign, confirming everything.

Of course, this was not a nice feeling for the owner and the family who were in a celebratory mood when the new ride arrived. But things happened, and the car had to be repossessed. The TikTok user has hope that this will get better soon.
