| If
you buy such a car and there is outstanding finance on it, the
lender can take it back. You can sue whoever sold you the car - if
you can find them. There are some limited exceptions to this. If
you were not aware that the car was subject to an outstanding
credit agreement and bought it in good faith, you may be allowed
to keep it. This does not apply to stolen cars or cars which are
subject to a hire agreement. You will need to get professional
advice on this. |
Check with
one of the companies
which keep databases of information about cars. They can tell you
whether the one you want is clear. If you are buying from a
dealer, ask whether this check has already been carried out. |
