Owning a vehicle worth over £1000 after being declared bankrupt

Hi everyone. I've had a rough time since being declared bankrupt and a friend has very kindly offered to give me a van of his for me to use to earn some extra money (current job doesn't currently cover my expenses). I assume that I would not be allowed to have this as it is worth over £1000 (probably about £2000)? I wanted to ask on the off chance that the rule only counted for vehicles owned upon declaring bankruptcy and this limit was not imposed on any vehicles acquired after it. I've searched the web and I'm coming up empty handed so here I am haha.
Any help/information would be much appreciated =]

If you don't own it - your friend does, then you can borrow it. There is no restriction on borrowing the van.0

I'm fairly sure you can be the registered keeper without being the owner.0

Insurance is never cheap, car type, experience, driving history and even your location can bump it up
red cars - being statistically most prone for accidents - cost more to insure, as does anything with "GT...GTi.....VRS....Special" on the boot...
try ringing Admiral and asking for a quote as the registered keeper
also "single with partner" costs less than "married"....Now we all know how it felt to play in the band on the Titanic...0 -
I am curently driving a car worth £5k, which was declared at bankruptcy. I am the registered keeper and pay for everything, but I have the invoice that clearly shows my FIL as the buyer five years go. I became the keeper last year. I am allowed to keep this as my FIL is letting me use 'his' car. He lives 400 miles away.0

Hi not sure of your age obviously but if young and you put an older relative with a good driving history as a named driver this can bring the price down0

Pretty sure the factory forgot to install the red-car-boost on my red Skoda Favorit back in 1994. :rotfl: Or maybe the faded paint stopped it working?Save £12k in 2024 #29
