car hpi

[pgoldman23]

what happins if i have bought a car with hpi on it iam i liable for paying for it again?

[NORMANTHEDOG]

you should not be able to buy any car with HP on it,unless you are buying it from a friend or a cowboy dealer,dealers are,by law not allowed to sell any car with outstanding hp on it,it must be paid off, its different if the car is bought by a loan,but answering your question,the person whos name is on the HP is responsible for all the payments,if payments are not paid,ie you buy the car from a friend and he does not pay,the car can be snatched back,by the HP company

[RATTER15]

I concur, the car is considered as stolen from the HP company, you will only be entitled to compensation through the courts if you are lucky!!!

if you suspect a car having outstanding finance on it (interest), you should never buy it unless you agree to pay the remainder. Whenever you buy a car you must always do a HPI check, this will show if the vehicle has any interest in it (outstanding lease or HP).

I would check all the contracts
