My daughter needs a car and has a driving licence but no money; I have the money but no driving licence.
So I bought the car for her. It now turns out that she has a council tax debt and did not know about it as letters keep getting lost. This morning she had a recorded letter to say that there would be bailiffs if she didn't pay the council tax. I have sent her some money to buy her some time but my worry is that if the matter does not get dealt with by the council and the bailiffs see her car (that I paid for) it will be impounded. This of course could happen at any time in the futre and it was a situation I did not foresee at all.
The situation is even more difficult as the new (new) car broke down after three days and has gone back to the dealers. She has a courtesy car and I don't even know whether the bailiffs could touch that.
How does one deal with a situation like that?
