However, if they utilise the Motability scheme, which has clear rules on what can and cannot be done with any vehicle leased through it, and they knowingly set out to break those rules, that is effectively fraud and should be dealt with accordingly.
I think you’ll find fraud would be if someone, somehow lied to get onto the scheme, not breaking the terms and conditions of the scheme once they on the scheme and that would allow Mb to terminate the contract they have with that person.
There is no way you can prove they knowingly set out to break those rules or even understood the rules, however much you would like to believe that is true or should be the case it’s not.
It has nothing to do with the allowance you receive, it is about the special arrangement Motabilty have re tax etc to be able to supply cars to claimants at a reduced rate because the car is being used to benefit a disabled person. Once the car is being used for other purposes it is no longer being used legally, what those purposes are, and what constitutes a benefit to the disabled person is open for debate as the different parties involved don’t agree.
Indeed and that’s for mb to decide not those on the scheme who seem to want to judge others without understanding the situation and circumstances and seem more bothered about what goes on in others lives than their own? We are becoming more and more a communist state every day like china.
Personally i’d be more concerned that my colleague was in a what seemed like, could be an abusive relationship than a missuse of a scheme car by her partner, but hey ho it it is what it is? you cannot help those that don’t want to be helped and mb didn’t do anything because I guess.
How many calls do you think they get from people complaining about scheme users as they got another new car and can they even act on that infomation given via some random 3rd party, that may or maybe not true and many calls might be malicious and how do mb tell the difference. So it’s no surprise at all.
