I've discovered my used car has outstanding finance - what can I do?
I bought a used Audi A5 a few months ago from a main dealer. The car is going well but on looking through the paper work to get the car registered (as no V5 arrived) I noticed that in the list of checks there was a single line stating that the car had outstanding finance. What is my best course of action as I don't want some finance company coming and claiming my car?!

I wouldn't worry. The car may have come in with outstanding finance on it but the Audi dealer will have cleared it. If not, he will be in a lot of trouble and face a massive fine for criminal fraud and potentially losing his franchise. You could do an HPI check to see if it has been cleared, then demand that the dealer pays for it.
