even thou the car has been sold I'm sure its still my car as i refused any money from the salvage company i have all the paperwork log book mot etc  also ax have told me they are at fault due to a clerical error  would it be worth me taking ax to a small claims court if they don't compensate me 

If Ax have admitted a clerical error (in writing), then it should be relatively straightforward to get compensation. 

I am not sure how they would be able to get the car back though, given that its been sold and presumably now in the possession of someone else. I don't think the police would class it as "stolen". 

Did they take it without keys??

You were offered the chance to keep your car for the scrap value of £210.99 and you refused the offer so they sold it?

i refused the offer of £210.99 and told them i want the car back they told me to contact ax which i did and told them i want it back about 1 week after the accident  they told copart on 11/12 24 to sell it even thoo they knew i wanted it back

In theory, since you didn't give them the V5 (you didn't, did you???) then Copart have unlawfully registered the car into the trade. And if its sold without the V5, then the subsequent owner who tries to re-apply for it will have the barrier that its not lawfully Copart's to sell on.

The V5C is quite explicit in the fact that it's no guide as to legal ownership.

Besides, nobody's buying that from copart to rebuild.

Exactly it sounds like you refused the offer to buy your car back for £210.99 so it was sold at auction. The fact you wanted it back but refused the offer
meant it was increasing the storage bill so needed to be actioned quickly and you refused to buy it at that price?

no they knew i wanted it back weeks before it went to auction i kept telling them even before copart offered me £210.99

Yes you rejected their offer to buy the car for £210.99 so they sold it rather than pay another £10 - £50 a day storage.

Would you buy the car back with another £200 worth of storage fees on top of the £210.99?  They probably assumed you
were not happying to pay £210.99 so unlikely to want to pay more than that with additional storage fees added to their costs.

They do not have to offer it you back at all.
They chose to offer it you for £210.99.
You turned that down.

They do not have to enter negotiations over price.
They chose not to, so put it into the auction instead.

You could have bid at the auction.

Many people seem to be unable to grasp reality.

When it's written off, it's no longer your car - unless you buy it back.

You chose not to pay the asking price for it.
