help. We could be stuck with the car being an unsaleable write-off and I'd have to scrap it!
The garage has been more than helpful. They accept that the car is genuine but with the system saying it's a CAT B write-off it's worthless to them. My parents' car has effectively been written off by red tape.
Has anyone else encountered a situation like this? The car salesman reckons in 22 years he hasn't! Any suggestions to resolve it gratefully received (I have advanced IT skills so hackery isn't out of the question!)
Have you tried doing an HPI check yourself?
Try starting the process for putting a car up for sale on auto trader - that does a basic check for nothing & would show if it is CAT B , by putting in the numberplate it should also confirm that the plate is assigned to a Fiesta not a Bike.
May also be worth a call to whoever the car is insured by - they will have access to the database to see if there is a record of any claim showing against that plate.
