car finance Liability

Hi, I have a quick question, I sold my car to webuyanycar.com absolutley under the impression that i had no outstanding debt on my car (or else i wouldve never tried it) anyway they did a check it all came back clear and they bough it and they paid me. however, i have just checked some all paer and work and have realised i still owe about £1200 on teh car and i'm still making monthly payments! what are my legal rights? i suppose i should be able to stop the payment and webuyanycar.com's insurance should cover the mistake? am i right?

    Your car may show as HPI clear if the finance on the car was a personal loan as opposed to car finance. Many car dealers and banks arrange finance for a vehicle by way of loan. Are you sure this is not what has happened in your situation?
