Why would the finance company be trying to take the car from you now, are you late in payments?
You know you are escalating potential civil fraud to theft. Sort out the finance.

You are not correct there.

If you buy a vehicle on finance then stop making payments after a few months it is a civil matter.

No such thing as a civil fraud that i am aware of.

Police and Courts no interested in civil offences.

Bailiff can't take the car back as good title was gained when the vehicle was bought in good faith from the garage/dealer.

Buying it in a privsge sale is not as clear cut.

As that was a common practice for dodgy people to try and get cars clear of finance.

Sort of you "buy" mine and i "buy" yours.

The OP has been defrauded by the person he or she bought the car from.

And to permanently export it would need to be finance clear as far as i know.

Though cars on finance are regularly exported to Africa and Asia.

Which is why Essex Police go down Tilbury and check if any nice cars waiting to be loaded up have finance. They then ohine the finance company and ask if they want their property exported.

Quickest solution is to make a token offer to the finance company.

And keep reciepts for any money spent on the car for repairs etc. As that makes a difference.
