Please can you contact Chris71 if you know who it currently belongs to.
It's very important he gets in touch as he may be about to lose the car.

Anyone?
Really need to get hold of this guy - the DVLA have screwed up and now I find out his car isn't legally his! I can't afford to pay any more fines for it, so unless I can get a forwarding address or something it's just going to be registered as scrap or something and I really don't want that to happen.
Hi guys,
Thanks to Steve for copying the link and everyone for their input. I didn't think of putting anything up here.
I hope there is a simple solution, but so far I haven't found one. The car is 'mine' until I can transfer it and the DVLA don't
seem remotely interested in helping. I want to help out the new owner (well, I say new, he's had it for a year and a half) but I'm not
particularly happy about picking up one fine for someone else's car and I have no intention of leaving it registered in my name to acquire
another.
Anyway, thanks again, the insurance check was a good plan too. Presumably it's off the road as a track car or project.
Did you fill in your bit of the V5c (yellow bit ?). Or is that the bit the DVLA 'lost'. If it is you could get another v5c and do the
transfer again. In theory registering it as scrap could get you into trouble as it isn't true.
Personally I'd write a letter (registered post) to the DVLA and the police telling them the full details of what happened (including any DVLA
mistakes) and making it clear you aren't going to be paying any more fines - indeed demanding a refund on the one you've got. If another
one comes through let it get through to the court system if necessary and use the letter and lack of action from police and DVLA to move the problem
onto them via a magistrate.
How did it pick up a ticket if it's off the road? Sounds like the guy who bought it has decided to avoid expense by leaving you with the
consequences.
Guess you don't have the details for the guy you sold it to anymore.
