hi benn2129

If it's not your car they can't take it, but you need to get it in writing to them. You need to contact them straight away and tell them, then send it to them in writing. I would probably also put in the letter that you don't own a car at all.

There is a sample letter here:

*just for the record, i'm not an expert in any sense of the word, i'm the OP on this post and have had to do far too much research into this kind of thing for my liking!
