    According to the stories, the cars belong to him even though she bought them - not as though people on here haven't done the same! :p

    It seems totally wrong that OR's can pick and choose to take a car or not. Surely it should be regulated otherwise it's open to all sorts of abuse! Incidentally we kept our £400 Ford Fiesta but then it's a rust bucket that no-one but us would want!!

    Its not just the value of the car the OR look at. Also they take into account the fuel, insurance, tax, upkeep, and whether the car is essential. They do have guidelines to follow

    Tell them to FOAD.

    Tell them they are not having it because you need it for x/y/z whatever. You need it for work,to run the kids round,to visit your elderly mother..whatever. It isnt worth taking so why do they want it?
