Hi folks my name is George and I'm new, unfortunately bad circumstances brings me here
I had my car on advertised for £7000 and got a text asking would i swap it for a newer car worth almost the same value,
the ad had a hpi check on it but i paid for one of my own for peace of mind,
it came back all clear,
i went to sell it on
someone done a hpi and it is saying there is outstanding finance
the finance was taken out on october last year
so there wont be very much of it paid,
im worried the finance company can come and lift it as its in my name,
its taxed and insured to my address,
i cant get in contact with the guy i got it off
his phone is dead
i do know the location of my old car but its not the guy that i swapped he must have sold it on..
.. do i call the police and tell them my car is stolen or do i contact the finance company and try and lay claim to the car?
PLEASE HELP/ADVISE ASAP AS I WOULD LIKE TO RING THE FINANCE COMPANY ARMED WITH SOME KNOWLEDGE !!!
Thanks very much any help greatly appreciated
