Whats the crack?
Does the person selling the car need to give u written confirmation that he will be paying the finance off with the money received from the car

You get a check done by the AA. They will then get written confirmation from the finance company that the finance in either paid off or still outstanding. If it is still outstanding and you are the owner of the vehicle then you are liable to pay the finance secured on the car. Thats why it's important to check it all out before.

You need to get a reciept from the seller saying they are going to pay the rest of the finace off, and get them to sign it.

No. If you want to risk it then you can, but you could get fucked over. Don't trust anyone these days. Everyone is just out to get your money, especially when it comes to used cars.

It's technically not illegal to sell the vehicle whilst finance is still owing (provided the finance company agrees),but if the seller defaults on the payments the finance company will repossess the car.
