Sorry i don’t know how to post a thread i’m in a situation if anyone can help.

I bought a car easter sunday and i did a HPI check, matched the V5 to the car and HPI report, I saw a passport of the previous keeper with the same name as the V5 and also found a receipt for the previous owner from the ‘Dealer’ he bought it from with the previous keepers name and address on it and saying it was ‘paid in full on debit card’ and I paid by bank transfer.

The V5 has arrived in my name and 3 weeks later i was stopped by the Police who said the car was reported stolen on the 8th of May, by the ‘Dealer’ as a fraudlent credit card was used to purchase it.

The guys were in no rush to sell have not used throw away phones as I am still in contact and they keep saying ‘what are you talking about’

where do i stand?
