hi

i purchased a car in july 2011 which i had paid £42000 for. i did all the checks..a local car show room did a hpi as well. It all come back clear.

in august i was stoped by the police in a routine stop. i was caryying over a £1000 so they arrested me to enquire where i had got the money from.

When i was in custody they did some checks on my car. The results come back as my car had 10stolen parts. the windowns, lights, mirrors and and a seat.

i was arested and charged for handling stolen goods. however when they discovered i had done al the neccessarry checks and the stolen parts where not related to me they had drop the charges.

when i asked for my car back they kept giving me dates on when they will give me the car back. I was told last week that i would not be getting the car back and it will be going back to the insurance comapany of the vihicle where the 10 stolen parts had come from. i told the police that they or the insurance company can take the 10 stolen parts and give me back the rest of the car as it is not stolen and of which i have paid for.

the police where having none of it and was told to take the insurance company to court which i can not afford.

i would be greatfull if someone can tell mewhere i stand in this situation. surely the insurance company cant take the whole car on the fact they own 10parts??
