I don't see politicians as being part of society. Any of those professions (maybe with the exception of bankers) couldn't commit a widespread fraud and only have one or two individuals prosecuted.

Not that simple at all. How did the black guy get a receipt for it? Once a car is stolen the number plate if flagged. If anyone had tried to sell the car under the original numberplate the DVLA would have informed the police It does occasionally happen that the police neglect to inform DVLA that the car has been stolen, and then the thief sells the car on, but with either no V5 or a forged one. Because the car was reported stolen, it would remain on the police database, but as far as the DVLA are aware, it is a legal sale, even though it is not such. Without knowing more details, it is impossible to say what happened in your case, but there really is no legal way of selling a car you do not own.

Bit off topic but back in the mid 80's me and the ex bro in law used to remove cars from public highways to scrap/do up or strip until the law changed slightly.
The change being,If you removed a vehicle from a public road (car illegal or not) without the owners permission then you were due a collar but remove the vin plates and it was totally legal.

Thanks again. Got the car and a fax from the finance company saying they have no further interest in it, so everythings OK.
Have now been distracted from pimping my Landie, apparently the new car needs better alloys and go faster stickers Brings back memories of when I was that age, although I think I had better taste

Brings back memories of when I was that age, although I think I had better taste Everyday I'm reminded on here that I should have come on here before buying my car from a dealer :hysterically_laughi

I’ve done a HPI check before. It’s a good thing to do. If the HPI company makes a mistake then they will normally cover your loss up to £10k, depending on the deal. That’s if the cars found to have finance on it and they said it was clear. But if the HPI company states finance is owed against the car then your not covered by the £10k bit if you then go and but it. Once cleared the HPI company will check if it’s cleared and give you the £10k cover. The HPI check must be done prior to the purchase for the cover to be valid.
One thing to be aware of is peeps can take out a loan against a car as the backup just in case they don’t repay the loan. Also it’s not just new cars with HP on them. Older cars are bought on credit too. There can also be a situation where there can be more than one finance action on a car, but the original finance company has the say as to wheather a personal loan can be added to the car, whilst the original finance company is still owed money.

I had an almost incident a few years back. Bought a car with a blown engine, replaced engine then a few weeks later a loan company claimed ownership as it had £1000 outstanding finance.
I disputed it and eventually a tow truck turned up. I blocked my driveway and informed them they could take the car but the engine, gearbox and alloy wheels were mine and i could prove purchase. They called the police, they said as it was a civil matter they wouldn't get involved unless something happened, however given i'd bought the items I legally owned them. A couple of calls from the tow truck driver to "the office" and they said I could pay £500 to solve the matter... i said not a chance and began to remove the engine... then they called me directly and said I could keep the car and i'd be sent an e-mail and a letter in the next few days...
Stubbon? moi? never

Trading Standards need a kick up the arse.
if a car has outstanding finance then the trader can not be said to have "good title" the same could be said of stolen goods.
Further to this a car sold with finance,company have every right to recover their assets

Damn right, if they don't have a legal claim to the vehicle then they should not be selling it. :boink:
