Car Finance Website Car Loan 4U Comments On the Rise in Illegal car sales
The UK’s leading car finance website Car Loan 4U comments on the FLA’s research highlighting an increase in illegal car sales.
Following recent research by motor finance trade association, the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA), showing that the number of illegal car sales is on the rise, leading car finance website Car Loan 4U offers tips on what to look for when buying a new car.
The research highlighted that, worryingly, motorists selling cars they do not own accounted for 40% of all car finance frauds in the last three months of 2011.
Car Loan 4U Co-Director Ryan Dignan comments;
“It’s vital that drivers take the correct measures when selling their car, especially if they do not fully own the vehicle. Failing to notify your car finance firm that you are going to sell your car, could classify you as a fraudster.
“Not only does this reflect badly on the seller but the new owner of the vehicle could have just purchased a car that is not rightfully theirs.
“It is important for motorists to know where they stand so that they can avoid becoming victims of fraud or unintentionally committing fraud.
“Those looking to buy a new car, could use a reputable service and car finance provider such as Car Loan 4U, offering peace of mind to motorists looking to avoid the risk of fraud.
“Car Loan 4U is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority, and licensed by the Office of Fair Trading under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Car Loan 4U is also SAF Approved in recognition of the company’s commitment to improved professional standards and knowledge on motor finance.”
