Hi new to the forum, joining for the reason I post below Have just received a letter from log book loans concerning a second hand car i bought 3 months ago. "We understand that you purchased the vehicle without knowledge of our interest and as such it is likely that you will be classified by the Hire Purchase Act 1964 as an ';innocent purchaser' and will have obtained good title to the vehicle. In order to confirm that this is the case we would ask that you please complete and return the attached questionnaire to the address given above. Once the questionnaire is returned, we will be able to confirm whether we intend to pursue the matter further. If we are satisfied that you are in fact an innocent purchaser, then we will write to you confirming that we have released our interest in the vehicle." Help!!! I've done a bit of research over the weekend but no one seems to mention this kind of approach before. The questionnaire covers when did I purchase it, who from, price paid and do i have a receipt, are you a trader, do you still have it, if not where is it, any other information that may be useful. I bought it off an ad in gumtree, from a bit of a backstreet trader to be honest, and it looks like my stupidity has come back to haunt me. I'm just confused as to why they are taking this approach rather than just taking the car, as seems to happen so often in these threads? I paid cash have a copy of the advert and a handwritten receipt. The V5 was intact and I have my new copy now. I eventually rang them and the woman said they dont want reclaim the car(yeah right!) but not to sell it, just return the questionnaire. Help, totally confused and gutted.
