in may this year my daughter had a car accident and the car was written off (although we didnt think it was necessary).

 

Two men have just knocked showed me a copy of my daughters registration doc asking if i knew the person, they were after the log book and they were driving the car that had been written off.

 

I didnt have the logbook as logbook and reg docs had to be sent in to the insurance company.

 

I hope we are not going to get some kind of come back over this

If it was minor damaged but classed as uneconomical to repair then the insurance would write it off and sell it for scrap/parts etc. It may well have gone through auction and the buyer can repair it and put it back on the road, these are known as Class C and Class D however they would and could obtain a v5 from DVLA, there would be no need to contact the pre accident owner.

Insurers or their salvage company should have notified DVLA. The visit by these Men suggests that DVLA may not have been advised. Suggest your Daughter asks her Insurers to look into this and write to her confirming all notificatuons to DVLA were carried out. I only advise this, as DVLA might accuse your daughter of not notifying them of the cars change of ownership.

We could do with some help from you.

fortunately the men that turned up were quite friendly polish guys but it could have just as easily been very awkward and nasty situation

The insurers have called back and say that they do not transfer the ownership into their (or salvage companys) name unless the car is likely to be kept there for a while. As it was a catagory D it may have been sold quite quickly and therefore transfered directly from my daughters name to that of the new owners.

 

However they do mark it as a written off car on another system which the dvla can see

 

We have checked with the dvla and it is not now in her name and she is now the previous owner.

Get it in writing, just in case DVLA say they were not notified and want to impose a fine. The new owners will register for their V5 and it might raise a query on DVLA systems about not being advised by your daughter.

We could do with some help from you.

ive spoken to the dvla and they are satisfied that it has been transferred and no fines will be issued but i am not happy because we now know that (on top of strangers calling at the house) she could have been fined.

 

the salvage company insisted that docs were sent to them to speed up pay out and they would inform the dvla which they then did not do
