My daughter owns a car which was purchased from her ex- boyfriend - turns out he had a court order against him for around £1500 which we believe
forbids him from selling any possessions owned at that time - the car would have been owned by him & his name on the V5 then & is worth around
£800. Is there any way to check whether the car has a charge against it? Would HPI show that up as it's totally different to HP agreement - I
don't want her to waste money HPI'ing the car if that wouldn't show it up anyway?
If there is no court judgement against the car now, could one still be raised against it even tho' the car is now in her name as it was in his at
the time of judgement? I really don't want her to come home & find her car has been towed away when she's done nothing wrong! 
Any info much appreciated
I've no experience but a google turned this up....
https://www.trustonline.org.uk/understand-judgments-fines/searching-the-registers/the-registers-for-judgments-and-fines
which details how to do searches and the costs (£5 for a search, £8 for two etc).
Hi,
Please don't take this all as gospel, but one or two points may be useful;
A County Court order could not prevent him from selling possessions.
A HPI check would only show if their was an outstanding finance agreement against the actual car, if it was a bank loan this wouldn't show.
The name on the V5 is the registered keeper, not the same as the legal owner.
The car can only be the subject of a court order if it has been "seized" and recorded as such by an "Officer of the High Court",
(I doubt if County Court bailiffs have this power).
Has she got a receipt from her ex for the money she handed over? (Did she actually pay for it ?).
A quick call to your local Citizens Advice Bureau may be helpful and cheaper than a solicitor.

A lot prettier than I am!
Now all we need is the old favourite;

Sorry to be pedantic, but we are talking about Eight hundred pounds/£800 ?
If so, whats the big deal, as its worth nothing in real terms, as for that amount its pretty well banger material
If the courts come running and want it back, give it back, if they don't, then your Daughter (we need a pic ) has a banger that she can sell next
year for £500
Now if she had got hold of the Ex's Ferrari 458, we would all be having a different conversation

Two possibilities. The boyfriend may be bankrupt - you can search this on the 'personal insolvency register' in which case he would no
longer own the car OR a baliff has taken 'walking possession' of the car. In either case your daughter might have to return the car.
If the boyfriend has sold a car knowing that he should not some gentle fatherly advice on the choice of boyfriend might be appropriate and would
be....in my experience.....futile.

Yes, agreed, £800 isn't a lot & next stop may well be the scrapper, but she's just bought her first house & is pretty much cleaned
out, £800 is 2 mortgage payments & money she could ill afford to lose, also she relies on the car for her job so losing it with no warning would
be pretty awkward! Yes, we'd obviously help her out if it came to it, but I prefer my kids to stand on their own 2 feet (unlike many
millennials!) if possible
Thanks for the info guys, sounds as though she doesn't have anything to worry about from what's been said, I thought that was probably the
case, but couldn't find much on Google to back that up
Cheers!
