    i called to notify my insurance company but they started a claim and i couldn't cancel it after ,
    then i tried my luck with third party but they didn't speak to me saying my solicitor already got in contact with them regarding injury, i got injured got pain in my back and neck went to gp 3 times taking pills for now pain killers..

    i didn't know there was outstanding finance before accident ???

    I've been told by friends i could still get my car cost if i can find the previous owner hu had finance on it and sold it to me without informing me which i have on log book records ??

    Why would you want to cancel the claim?

    Did you not say that the HPI check showed no finance?

    Your insurance company would just seek costs from the third party anyway, this is often a quicker process as normally you receive a payout before your own insurance company is refunded.

    Perhaps your insurance company or the third party one paid off the finance on it and that's why it now shows clear.

    I'm not sure if because it's now been written off as a cat B if that would have any effect on the finance side during the HPI check (i.e it might over ride the finance part)

    Either way, best to speak to your solicitor or your insurance company. They will know more than us.

  • im saying i did the hpi today on 30th 03 15 , after the accident happened , the accident happened on January 29th, if i had done hpi back then hpi could have found something but after my accident when the car was registered cat b the finance could have been erased i was told this by friends today

    So the first question I think you want us to answer is:

    If my car had outstanding Finance (and I didn't know because I didn't check when I bought it), would that Finance still show after the accident or does a Cat-B write-off automatically remove the HPI flag?

    (I don't know the answer, I just thought I'd summarise)

    Did you agree a total loss value with your insurer?

    Did your insurer pay the settlement to the finance?




    Cat B flag will not clear the finance flag.
