    They will come after you for the money owed or take the car off your ex. Any finance due will be due to you.

    I would agree with this however if the car was granted to the wife as part of a settlement agreement, it would be looked upon very poorly and I would assume she could insist on it being replaced at your expense.

    Was it yours to transfer in the first place is it a loan or HP.

    I'd say it all depends on if it was his car in the first place and if the finance was secured on it or not and if it was a HP loan. If it was HP the bank will seize it from your wife as it was not yours to transfer but it's possible depending on the % owed that you may be able to make a settlement with them.

    I though you can't sell on cars, which still got outstanding finance on them?
    Does not bank still own it?

    I think they will come after you op and take car off your ex misses. I can see quite a huge **** storm in the future op.

    Unless the loan was secured against the car as part of the terms, the bank cannot seize it. And unless it was a HP agreement, the buyer owns the car and can sell it on as they please.
    Correct. Unless it is on HP there is very little that can be done.

    So was this car looked upon & treated as an asset when the agreement was being drawn up. If there was a hp agreement on it and much of the value of the car still owed, it wasnt an asset at all.
    I figure you will now have to provide this car or similar for the wife.
