Stapes Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Need some advice. My father died in 2018 and his car has sat in his driveway since then. We recently sold it to someone for a nominal fee, just to get rid of it. My wife took the forms and forgot to get the portion of the V5C that we need to send to DVLA. She had the guy's number, but before she could contact him he broke into the hut in my dad's house and was arrested (my brother filmed it). The guy has since started stripping the car, and we don't think think he has any intention of moving the car from tge driveway or sending the V5C to DVLA. What are our options? We have sent an email to DVLA (contact with the public is limited but they're taking emails from keyworkers). We can't push it out onto road as it's still legally registered to us, and we can't scrap it, as the documents are signed handing it over to him. We seem to be in a bit of a limbo situation. Any help much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huddersfield Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 PePiPoo is a good source of advice for this kind of thing. Loads of professionally qualified legal & motoring people on there up to & including judges so you’d get strong advice I’d imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 My considered legal opinion is scrap it and tell him to fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 My worry is he then contacts the police and shows them the signed papers. Then I'm due the jakey prick the cost of a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Who's driveway is the car on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stapes Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 My dad's. But there's quite a bit of stuff online saying that it's not easy to get rid of a car if it's parked on your land. If I knew it was in his name officially I'd just bump it on to the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Or start charging him rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 For all the DVLA know these forms could have been done right and just lost in the post. This sort of thing must happen all the time. If you can prove money changed hands and he broke into the shed and has been stripping the car I would say get this jakey prick to fuck. Let him do his worst...

euan2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 get a copy document for sale, and send off your side of the V5C - they normally are available at Post Office or i am sure online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
