Car Insurance write off
Hi I have just bought a car privately, (2 weeks ago) I took in into a garage to have some work done (slight wheel wobble developed) only to discover that the car was an insurance write off! Is there anything I can do? does the seller have any obligation to make us aware of this and is there anything legally we can do? I am gutted, and money is very tight at the moment. Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Where did you see the car advertised?
Was it the local press?
Its quite possible that your "private sale" was from a dealer.
Check the press for similar adverts and phone numbers etc. If you have suspicions report them to Trading Standards. Not only has he defrauded you, but Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise as well.
