even though i have paid DVLNI £125 for the tax?

I just had word this morning that the DVLNI have got in contact with the previous owener and they will be sending the documentation out within the next 2 weeks. Thanks for your advice. Confusing situation I know. Regarding the tax, the cars tax expired at the end of june.

the dvlni are saying at present the cannont register the car as the previous owner has not declared the sale to the owner before me who did not declare that they bought the car. therefore the car I bought has been with two owners in northern ireland (including myself) since jan however it is still registered in England. The DVLNI took the payment for the tax from me and a fee of £25 for the new book so does this mean i can still drive the car even though I dont have the tax book or certificate?

yes im a resident in the UK. I only have section 10 of the tax book. The person I bought the car off bought the car from england however he did not register the car in his name as the car already had tax - he acquired the car in january. If the DVLNI cannot get in contact with the last registered owner where do I stand from there.

Hi. Im in a similar sort of situation. I bought a car last week and when i tried to tax it i was advised that the dvlni had no record of the car - they also had no confirmation from the previous owner that they were no longer the registered keeper. At the minute i am waitin on the dvlni to get in contact with the previous owners. Have you any advice for me on this matter?
