In a DAS and need a little advice

We are currently several months into an 11 year Debt Arrangement Scheme in Scotland.

One of my defaults was for a Personal Loan used for a Car Purchase, the loan was through a Honda Finance. Now everything is going relatively smoothly with the DAS but I have one little question concerning the car.

I kept the car when the Finance company offered to sell it and offset the amount from sale against the amount owed as I very much need my car to get to work as I'm a Bus Driver and start/finish and all hours.

I'm now thinking of selling the car for cash to get some extra cash as still finding times difficult and get a cheaper/older car as a run around for work. Can I legally do this as it was a Personal Loan and not HP?

Cheers

Rob

    Do a hpi check, very suprised if their is not a finance marker on it
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
