    It was a 1999 T reg Volkswagon Polo Saloon. There was no pressure in the oil pump leading me to believe the engine was now dead and beyond the cost of economical repair (I could possibly ask the garage that looked at it to state this maybe?). It had also done 220,000 miles. And the sad irony is the £60 we received for it was spent on a parking fine.

    On that info I dont think you have a problem. If the repair cost works out more than the vehicle value (£500 approx?) then you have done well to get £60 for the car. you havent sold an asset for less than it's true value, so it wouldnt need declaring on the forms.

    I finally got thru 2 NDL 2day. I explained about the bombardment of phone calls & letters I've been receiving over the last few days. I've been advised 2 write 2 all my creditors once again, but 2 inform them that I am in the process of applying 4 a DRO & 2 hold all proceedings against me. I was under the impression that was the last thing I should be announcing 2 my creditors...............I've sent out letters offering nominal payments, which sum have accepted, whilst "NDL assess my finances".....................who's right?
    I am a Leo...& as such I will defend my "pride" ferociously....you have been warned!

    Evening! Thats wot I thought 2. I used the letter u gave me & last time I spoke 2 NDL they said that was fine. Now I find I'm getting different info. I thought it may start an onslaught of court proceedings, which is the last thing I want :(
