I ve just done those proper hpi check and ye the car is showing as outstanding finance even though the letter seems dodgy .. i guess am definately gonna have to reply to their letter now somehow

Thank you for the reply, but how can i determine what type of finance is outstanding on my car??

Rambo's comment is scaring me but with Oddjob's comments seems some hope. Do you think I should try contacting the number of the letter to establish and gain more details as it says the car has been passed to them from someone else? so maybe another company possibly passed info to them and they are trying to recover the cost. The letter is asking for the question answers to help them establish how someone managed to sell the car to me? or is that one of their tricks getting me to give them information thank you everyone who is helping me, I appreciate your help

Does that mean I didnt do an hpi check?

Thank you I will try write them a letter and send them the copy of the receipt, should I attach the log book copy where it clearly states as I am the registered keeper?

I bought the car from scotland but this company address is from london, and their letter doesnt look professional. I think it says c collections, I tried looking them up on website and coming up as under construction

I had recently purchased my car from glasgow but i live in london and i did all the regular checks to ensure the person really did own the car.. I have the receipt of sale, the log book in my name, and have now recieved a letter from a company stating that the car is their legal property and the previous owner should not have sold the car to me. They have sent me a questionnaire? I dont understand how this is possible as i saw those add on tv and sent a text to get the vehicle checked over and it only showed the car as cat d and once i did this check i spoke to the seller and got the price reduced as it was not worth the price i was paying. To be on the safe side i also took down his driving license number and took a copy of his license and also contacted dvla to confirm he was the owner of the car. And the dvla confirmed on the phone that the vehicle was registered under this person. I repeatedly asked that even on the phone and when we met in person if the car had any other records such as accidental or hpi and the seller said no, he owns the car. What do i do now? Do i send this questionnaire back? I am thinking of going to my citizen advice burea on monday as i paid a lot of money and i dont want to lose it all as i have been also repairing the car my self for over 2 months as it had quiet few problems. It is still in my drive on jack stands.. . Please help!!
