Theft and Fraud

Legate Group specialise in motor finance theft and fraud in the UK, with an international reach via trusted business partners.

We act for lenders where the standard collections and repossession strategies have failed to result in the recovery of its property or for other third parties that possess an interest in a vehicle.

We have an enviable reputation for delivering excellent results, helping lenders to locate and recover lost, missing or suspected stolen vehicles which in turn reduces the lenders exposure to losses from bad debt, theft and fraud.

We are usually instructed by lenders when the customer has defaulted and the internal collections and external repossessions strategies have failed to locate the lender’s property. We locate and restore the financed motor vehicle in the UK without the need for police involvement.

We cannot locate every vehicle and in those circumstances we are able to prepare a compliant evidence pack on the lender’s behalf and report the matter to the police (subject to circumstances being appropriate).

We will report matters to the Police in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Acting as the single point of contact for the client, we liaise with the UK police on the lender’s behalf ensuring that the process is smooth and that when the property has been seized in the UK or overseas, the vehicle is seamlessly repatriated to the lender.
