can I find an address from a reg number?

Hi all,

I just wondered if it is possible to find out somebody's address from their number plate?

We've had some issues with parking on an access road, and obstructing it, and they have caused some minor damage too.

We contacted the police, who came down and told us its a civil matter, and we'd have to deal with it ourselves.

But, we haven't got an address for any of the 4 vehicles involved(3 vans, and a Nissan Micra).
We know they are from the Stockport/Manchester area, by looking at the tax discs.

So, does anyone know if I can trace these people?

Cheers Frank.

Gets asked on hear about once a year, unfortunatly not.

If they parked their once, they may park their again.

The police a lazy fools.

Tell them that the drivers were arab looking and wanted to buy some industrial cleaning fluid and manure. 50 litres of it. . . . .





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

They're parking there 2-3 times a month.
It's cost the people at the bottom of the road a few grand, as they've had to rearrange a few container deliverys.

No, but when the police came, they did inform us that if we dragged the vehicles out of the way, and onto the road outside, we would be arrested.

Surely the dvsa will give the address if they have caused damage?

Some signs up warning of 24 hour HGV access then?? And a disclaimer for any damage caused while maneuvering? Not sure how legal but might scare them off...

Long shot

Check on askmid to see if they are on the Insurance data base.

If no insurance the surely the police must get involved.

below website says you can request info on registered keepers from DVLA if there is reasonable cause. Would causing damage be sufficient for this?

Private land? Get two scrappers and block them in. They'll soon come knocking on the door to get them moved.


Or just let the tyres down. I'd soon p*as off if that happened more than once.

Dunno, they arrive together early in the morning, usually around 6am.
They all get out carrying bags, and usually come back a couple of times to refill their bags, I think they are selling door to door.
We've spoken to them, they are eastern European and pretend not to understand.

It astounds me how the police can call up the "civil matter" and walk, having been involved in a crash for cash three years ago when i reported it got asked 'anyone hurt' replied no so got told this, I had to preserve to get a reference number

If it's on private land block them in, trouble is it has to be something low value as they will happily drag it out the way.

The general plan, is to send them a letter stating that now we know who and where they are, if they keep parking there we will take them to court to recover costs.
I think that us knowing where they are from might just, give them a kick up the backside they need.

Sloan is correct go the post office and get the proper forms can't remember what form it is
Explain the reason why and along with £5 send it off
After a while you will receive the full previous history of owners inc addresses

Do it with most of my cars and makes for an interesting read tbh
But just don't expect the service to be quick as it's not

Wheel clamp? Put a note on explaining why you've done it.

A while ago we had this in a pub I worked in. We definitely DIDN'T cut the handbrake cable and push the car into the road.

If a couple of folks saw one of these vehicles cause a bit of damage to one of your vehicles, then drive away, the police would have to get involved..... Now delete this thread.
