    If you know the exact date when you returned the car you will need to ring PIP to ask when the last payment was made to motability and they should be able to tell you.

    If the car was returned after the last payment was made to motability then yes you may indeed owe them some money.

    This was back in 2019 I will have to ring them what I don't understand if I owe them this money why is it I was not being chased up about it until now they clearly would of been sending me letter on one of my letters I have from pip saying if any outstanding balance on the car they will be in contact with me
