Watch from 20 minutes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000dlns/rip-off-britain-2020-live-episode-1 There is Mr. Fletcher at the end who cannot answer simple questions on live TV :) @hashluck You can get direct access to MIAFTR and MIB made an error in this statement. We don't get it...

We are not aware of any consumer who was paid out anything on those guarantees. I will link BBC video in one more reply and there were 4 people who did not get paid out as they did not qualify due to T&Cs

There is a story that if you export and then re-import a car it becomes HPi clear. From what I know and I run HPI style site: Car on the re-imprort will get the same number plate Write-off record is recorded against VIN and VRm so even if VRM is changed it HPI record will not be lost...

I used to do exacly as you did and then post it on Facebook. And this was shortly followed by legal claim from the seller. As registered business I bend a lot of rules to tell the truth and those making living out of it are not happy so they try to stop us.

And he bought it 8 days after salvage https://www.vcheck.uk/report/SK65AGO-YMDLHJA/ Somebody was quick to scam him on this instance. can you get Maserati parts so quick?

Not by us. We usually get someone from public to do it. Every time we approch anybody they say we use scare tactics and tbh having list of 1000+ cars on sale like that and limited resource not possible to let everybody know... I tried going via TradinG Standards before but they take 3 months to...

I did this on purpose;) I have seen few Maseratis before, just never have time to post them. and if I go with title “Warning HPI Scams” nobody pays attention I hope I got my point across.

This particular car I know very well as it one of our recent customer who actually bought it month after it was poated on FB without knowing. I did a lot of repairs myself in my life and as far as I know from experience it is difficult to get 100% to factory spec. and airbags, the car featured...

You cannot claim on HPI guarantee for this, as TCs exclude that exact situation. In simple words Guarantee warrants that HPI presents the information the way, it is recorded in the official database, if the official record is wrong/incomplete, etc. HPI won't take responsibility and payout...

I suggest to read the article above ;) I personally spoke with MIB, DVLA and DfT and they don't care ;) The issue was reported to them in 2018 with sufficient evidence. This is why TV took now the lead on exposing it as organizations running it are not taking real interest into the problem. And...

It has been on BBC twice now, and CH4 gonna cover it soon. 1 in 10 write-offs is not put on official DB as that DB (MIAFTR) is voluntary. There is full article by AutoExpress here...

Ok, the truth is this is actually Cat S write-off which was NOT put on the official register so it is "HPI Clear"... VIN pictures just in case somebody wants to say "HPI cannot be wrong"... Your thoughts on this? ;)

Seems to be all clear on AutoTrader Experian check... Will be the same on HPI Do you reckon this is a good buy then?

Do you ever wonder what happens with ex-Police cars? This example came back to use as a personal car, sold as Category C write-off and clocked "only" 150k before first MOT. It looks current owner has no idea of its past, as it was done before him. The car received a new interior, which is common...

Vcheck said, Vcheck made it happen. Ex-taxi data in all of our paid reports. Example of a car which only fails on taxi check, everything else is green: https://www.vcheck.uk/report/AF65GZJ-G1HJ3JT/ We also added this info to all ever purchased reports for FREE. You only need to visit My...
