HPI will often show outstanding finance against a private reg. If the reg is in use on a different car, the finance also relates to that other car.

What's the actual working on the report?
Have you seen the V5? I think that shows write off's on page 1.

fromt of v5 is clear as a catd wont show any way not convinced the current car is a write off cat d feel it may be related to the plate on the car which may have been on another car at some stage and that one is a cat d if you get me ??
