Advice received elsewhere, thank you 

Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭

    Did you give the dealer any warnings that your intention was to sell the car unless they collected it by a certain date?

    How do you know it was only worth scrap value, it could be a relatively inexpensive fix?

    Who 'assured' you? A proper legal advisor I hope

    After an S75 claim is successful, technically the car then belongs to the credit provider ... the original seller didn't lose any money as the credit provider refunded the consumer, so the seller shouldn't have been coming back looking for the car.

    (That's not to say that the credit provider didn't then pursue the seller to recover their money ... but that's not a typical outcome as far as I know. I wonder if it was a chargeback rather than an S75?)

    Once again an OP deleted all the info.

    It wasn't a Section 75 claim, it went to court and bailiffs recovered the funds following a win in that court.

    The OP said there was no mention of what should happen to the vehicle which was immobile on their drive so eventually they sold it as a non-runner, at a WBAC indicated price, they did not say who they sold it to.

    10 weeks later the garage has requested collection of the vehicle.

    Who knows what will happen next.
