V-Brakes not sprinhing back

Just purchased a 2nd hand bike with V-brakes, the rear break goes on but when the handle is released, it doesn't go back and I can see the cable bunching in the middle of the bike. I tried lubricating the cable and tightening the springs on the v-brakes but still no success. The cable seems fairly loose so I don't think it's a blockage problem, the lever parts ( i don't know what they are called, the bits that move like pincers), are loose but don't separate when the brake is released.
