    I saw a vw golf eos in the auto trader and contacted the vendor asking
    for the reg number to hpi check the car.I then did the hpi online
    paying £19.99 and got the reply saying all was good and to give the v5
    doc number in order to quallify for the hpi garantee.I then traveled
    to view the car in leicter test drove the car went into the vendors
    house called back hpi with the v5 at hand that came back all clean and
    we struck a deal for £12,000 pounds cash.
    having done the correct procedure we drove back to sheffield and after
    48 hours hpi called me back to inform me that the v5 was stolen.
    Thay asked if i had bought the car and i replied yes of course you
    gave me the information on the car leading me to buy the car if id
    have known anything different off course i wouldnt have bought the car
    who would ?
    that day we found out the car was cloned and the logbook stolen.
    i was fuming and had the car taken by the police.I filled in a claim
    form to hpi and they have just sent us a letter back saying that they
    are not going to pay us out as follows

    1)information they provide on the v5 is not covered by there garantee.
    but when taking out the check it clearly states that you can not claim
    uner the garuntee if the number isnt given.

    2)a discrepency on the millage.
    when i did the check the first time online i put the millage in at
    17,000 miles this throwing a discrepency as the millage was mor on to
    18000 miles hpi have lied in this letter saying i never took this
    discrepency up any further and i have demanded the tape from them of
    our conversation talking clearly about the descrepency.they also say
    on this letter that they informed me of stolen v5s being in
    curculatian.
    this being a lie too as i have a copy of there recording.
    the dvla have also notified us that the v5 number was false an the
    issue date had never been issued by the dvla but the hpi failed to
    find this out after saying the dvla is there main source.
    this should have never matched any car but i have all the paperwork
    from hpi and tapes saying the numbers supplyed v5 matches that of the
    dvla (lie)
    that the v5 registratin document serial number is not recorded as
    stolen,forged,or duplicate (lie)
    i have all these papers and tapes.
    there is a few other things along the way too.


    I feel very let down by hpi as they advertise them selves as the
    leading hpi company(THE ONLY CHECK YOU CAN RELY ON)
    well not for us and this could also happen to others.

    I'd rather rely on HPI than on a semi-literate fucktard who can't
    decide which time zone he lives in.

    ........from hpi and tapes saying the numbers supplyed v5 matches that
    of the
    dvla (lie) that the v5 registratin document serial number is not
    recorded as
    stolen,forged,or duplicate (lie)

    Of course the company are not going to reimburse you, what company
    would put up their hands and say "have you 12 grand back" without a
    struggle. It would seem the HPI have mislead you over the V5 document
    and on this evidence you bought the car.

    Get yourself a solicitor, with the weight of the law you will get your
    twelve grand back.

    Good luck

    I'm really not surprised you were ripped off.

    This sort of scam relies on the illiterate and stupid for its prey.

    Good Lord. You have to be a troll surely? Nobody could be this dumb and
    not need watering.

    I'm really not wound up, by the way.

    Mildly amused, but not wound up.
