I'm guessing its an admin error and that it HAD outstanding finance and that the HPI database (or whatever it is) hasn't been updated. This does happen. Best thing to do is speak to the finance company. This will tell you for certain one way or the other. And it will then give you evidence to go back to the dealer with if money is owed.
we cant find out who the finance company is as the HPI people wont tell us as the finance isnt in my dads name? does this sound wrong?
The dealer shouldn't have taken the van unless he was sure there was no finance on it.
Did your dad take any finance out to buy it? if so it should be ok, as finance companies wont duplicate...

You do have the right to know who the finance company is and what the agreement number is. You can then ask the finance house if the agreement has be settled and if so remove it from HPI. If you get stuck U2U me and I may be able to help.
