    What does HPI clear actually mean in an advert anyway? The phrase is so vague and woolly it probably doesn't mean much.

    I highly doubt the contract is void on the back of such a vague promise.

    Well, I took proper legal advice and it looked like false advertising. I got my money back.

    On what basis ?

    Solicitors letter ?
    Dealer wanting rid of you ?
    Intervention from ASA ?

    I've just bought a car from a dealer - it too was showing outstanding finance. Dealer showed me their finance paperwork, I gave funds to dealer on collection, dealer cleared the finance, 24hrs later I received a clean HPI document.

    Still not quite sure why this would lead to you not buying the car :(
