Bought a stolen car!

[matkinson]

>:(The police have just taken our L200 Pick up off us. It was a stolen vehicle with forger papers, numbers changed etc. Even had it checked by the H.P.I. I can't believe it! £10,000.00 down the drain...just like that!

[LisaM]

omg How awful. I don't know what happens in these circumstances. Will you get your money back at some point x

[cokey]

Oh my God! That's dreadful! Poor you... Hope you do get your money back. X

[m atkinson]

The only way of getting money back is to sue the criminals if they catch them. The police said there was little hope as there are so many people doing this.
There was I thinking we could now get me a little pony to ride! Not this year.
Feeling more stoical now. At least we had paid outright after having saved for it. If we had a loan we would be paying for nothing plus interest.

is there no comeback for you with the HPI if it was supposedly checked?

[mandandpaddy]

Do you have the HPi check documents? If so and it shows it was clear of finance then you do have come back with HPi.

You will need to contact them with all the info and police details.

Checked with my boyfriend who had his car HPI checked prior to buying it and he got his paperwork out and they offer insurance if the car turns out to be stolen, check your paperwork

[berylsmum]

Thats awful, poor you. I hope you manage to get your money back somehow.
