Dilema

[marky]

TRACY My Wife bought a Renault Clio off a friend back in October. The owner wanted to Transfer the Private Registration to his new car & put the original reg back on the CLIO.
This was all done and the log book was sent to DVLA office. The TAX has just expired and we have no LOG BOOK, We have managed to get hold of the TAX reminder and they will not TAX it as it is still Registered to the original owner. They have told us that we have to apply for the log book which will take upto six weeks. No wonder theres so many cars on the road without TAX iff this is what you have to go through.
We have filled a registration document in & they still wont tax the car.

I thought you could take the bits you've got down to a main DVLA centre and present the old tax MOT and Insurance then fill out a form??V11 ?? changes of owner and they will issues you tax there and then. Had to do this before. The pain is the time queueing

P.s where you doing this at a post office?

[stormforce]

you should of been given the small green slip from the log book and thats all you need at the P.O with your mot and insurance to get the tax

The GREEN slip went to the local DVLA office to help change the reg over.
Yes the POST OFFICE!

Still recon you can go to DVLA centre and get it sorted on the day with all the paperwork you have and fill out a form..!!

The CLIO now has its original Registration the point is we cant TAX it as it is still in the original owners name. Local DVLA office didnt change ownership.

[Sancho]

if she bought it off a friend who is still the registered owner, give them the money and get them to tax it

He has no Insurance for it

Im not 100% sure that matters, the vehicle is insured, the friend should be able to tax it , with the insurance ( regardless of whos name is on it) the MOT and ( now heres the catch) the V5 or the reminder thing. I reckon this is all fixable. Cant it be taxed on line without the reminder thingy, can you do it with just the Reg No. If so the friend might be able to do it and disc would go to friend as it appears friend is still the registered keeper. If friend is registered keeper, did they not get the reminder ? When you tax on line nobody gives a stuff whos name is on insurance, they just check that it is in the insured database dont they ?

Her Insurance is VALID but wheb trying to insure online it says there is no valid insurance. Insurance compay confirm Insurance is Valid, Maybe as the insurance is under a different name but the Reg no is the same.
