Just wondered if the O/R would show any interest in taking my P reg Ford from me? Due to the fact i am still paying the loan off that i had for it. I have children, i am a carer, and public transport would cost me loads each week compared to running my car.

Any comments would be great, thankyou

I assume that the car is worth less than £2,000, in which case it will be treated as exempt property by the OR.

Hi Melanie, yes i assume the car is worth no more than £750, but obviouslly it is worth alot more to myself and my young family.
Local car sales and news paper ads reflect this price.

Will the fact i claim state benefits effect any decission the O/R makes? or is this irelivant? Thank you x

Hi clma

From what I have read on this forum you should be able to keep your car as it doesn't exceed £2500

The fact that your income is derived from benefit makes no difference to the issue of your car, which will definately be treated as exempt property.
