I have used these before:

http://www.hpicheck.com/newfrontend/index.jsp

Not mega cheap but a good service. Done a check on my wifes veccie & it showed an interest by a finance company - rang the number on the result sheet & the company concerned sent a letter confirming no outstanding finance. Well worth the peace of mind !

unless you 'sell' the car you're interested in, do the hpi, then cancel auction.

But we possibly couldn't condone that... ;)

Nice idea!  ;)

Just did a basic data check on RAC, all checks out with what he said in terms of last ownership. He also says he has a cash recipt from were he bought it.

I contacted him this evening about viewing the car, no reply yet. But hopefully should get a responce tomorrow.
