bailiffs

well what can i say we was woken up the other morning at 7 am by the bailiffs. it turns out that the car we bought of someone was not his to sell. he had taken out a loan with some company and signed the car over to the company as some sort of surety. weve been told theres nothing we can do about it but report it to the police for fraud and take them to the small claims court . my wifes been on mobility since 2001 but the problem started when her mobility was stopped for about 6 months and we lost the mobility car then she was reinstated for life and we bought a car privately till we went back on a motobility car. we are really gutted as you all know living on what we get is no joke. we cant go on the car scheme yet as we cant live without the mobility money at the moment. has anyone got any advice for us as in did this happen to you or is there anyone to go to for advice thanks tim ps great site

Never let success go to your head, never let failure go to your heart.
CAB might be worth a call to see if thay have any suggestions.
On a practical note, if your credit score is ok and you know what you are doing, I bought £3000 of my car with a 0% credit card (persuded dealers to waive the fee). for me this worked out a lot cheaper than motability (minimum payment was much less than their cheapest deal and much cheaper than their HP rate). So you could consider a decent second hand car. You could probably haggle a really good deal at the moment as car dealerships must be pretty desperate.
Poor you, It must be a real blow, I hope it works out for you.
