they said that they leased the car since new and decided to buy off the lease company to sell on and get an updated model.
it is all an absolute mess that seems nothing can be done about it. there is compensation for everything other than being a victim of crime in these circumstances.

You have carelessly, let's be honest, handed over £15,000 to a con man.
Where is the compensation supposed to come from for this? From the tax payer? If so, should everyone who suffers any loss due to crime be compensated by the tax payer, regardless of their degree of negligence? Can we do away with insurance against theft?
That's never really been part of our system. It would be a huge change to make it so. It's not that simple an issue.
I should point out, as well, that the reason the default position in this case is to believe you is because there's no reason for you to lie. There's no proof you handed over £15,000 to anyone. If there was any way you could be compensated for that £15,000, especially without anyone having been convicted, the number of false claims would be astronomical.
