I have to buy a used car as iam looking for work and need a car to get to work, i will be paying cash or credit and the car will be less than £500 just a cheap run around, do i have to inform the OR that i will be the owner of the car ???
If you have not yet been discharged from bankruptcy, you would need to declare any purchases and assets to your official receiver. it would be unlikely for them to ask for this new vehicle as part of your bankruptcy, as any vehicle under £2000, they allow you to keep.
You'll be ok. I am going on to teacher training in september.i have had to cut down slightly to pay for this and my OR is fine. I had to sell my old car before it died for 350.00 and bought a new secondhand car with extra money from a boot sale for 500.00 so i can get to college. my OR is only interested in assets which take me over my reasonable monthly expenditure.
Good luck.

My son purchased a car from a dealer and he was ripped off of £2090 cash paid by debit card, car lost power after about 6 weeks and had to be road assisted by AA car brought to garage and was discovered that engine was write off, garage man said that the car engine had substantial wear and tear over a long period.
Went back to dealer and asked for refund and he laughed me out of the office.I have told him I am going down legal route to sort this matter out and that I was going to report his set up.
I have sent letter by recorded delivery but so far it has not been delivered so is not accepting my letter.
On top of that the Cover Warrenty was not registered with the warranty company so I could not get help there, however, this was only for £500 useless when the engine needs to be replaced!!
Consumer advice says to write 3 letters quoting the Consumer Rights act of 1979 and he must remedy in one of 3 ways, I set up this letter and am about to send it off, but what happens if these letters are not been accepted or shown not delivered?
the car was supposed to be 2003 model with 77,000 miles registered. I would like your thoughts on this, would a car engine have such wear and tear at this stage.
Also I am getting a full garage report and then if I do not receive any remedies from the dealer a trip to the small claims court will be the order of the day.
Also when we were at the bus stop after visiting the garage, a car pulled up oppisite us and this guy kept staring at us in a very obvious manner, he got out of his car and continued to stare at us and then opened the boot still staring at us, I thought this might be a threat of sorts, but I try not to let my imagination run away with me, but I wouild not dismiss it.
have you any words of wisdom or advice to offer in my case or is there anything else I can do to get remedies.
