Finance alert on UK car

[Patch]

Have paid a small deposit on a UK car. Ran a check on reg plates which alerted me to the fact that finance was possibly outstanding on car. Rang the UK finance company, quoting reg & they said that it was paid off. Should this confirmation be sufficient? Im a bit concerned about the car now.

The finance house has said it's paid off, so it should be fine. There's probably a lag between it being paid off and the payment being registered on the database. If you're still concerned ask the seller to get written confirmation from the finance house.

That said the UK is a big market and there are plenty of other cars, so don't buy anything unless you are 100% happy.
