Hi, yes the police were involved because before going through the courts the present owner called the police who investigated and said all records show I owned it before it was reported stolen and it seems to be an insurance fraud. Ive sent off for a copy of the incident log and I will print off a bank statement (thanks for mentioning it) to show when the funds were transfered.

where has it been moved to?

Hi all, I'm in need of some help/answers/feedback. I'll keep it short and reply to any questions for further info. Basically.....I had to buy and sell a car in the space of a couple of months due to an unexpected change of jobs. No problem there Almost 2 years on I have had a county court summons from the guy I sold the car to. Basically I bought the car then 2 days later the previous owner reported it stolen and the insurance paid out. Because the car changed hands so quickly the insurance company never managed to get in touch with me for my side of the story (which is what caused them to pay out) but eventually caught up with the guy I sold the car to and took it off him (which was slightly stupid on his behalf). Now the guy I sold the car to has lost the car and evidently his money which is a horrible thought and wants me to refund him which is why he is taking legal action. I've sent off to the DVLA for the records of when I bought it so I can show I owned the car when it was stolen and it wasn't me that reported it stolen. Any help of anything extra I should be doing or opnions on what you would do and where I stand would be much appreciated. Its a far bit of money involved which always makes it that much worse. If the guy had called me I could have got the records and I think it would of then been upto Tesco to get their fraudulent claim back Thanks!!

Lol u got me......no and yes.....I'm buying a car and will get a hpi, but I'm also selling a car I was given. I've never had a hpi on it but I've got people willing to travel a considerable distance To look at it, I know it's never been stolen or have any outstanding finance but with regards to being crashed I don't know..... I don't really want to fork out for a hpi on a car I'm going to give away so where on the v5 would it say if it was a cat ?

Just a quick question, I'm looking to buy a car soonish and will obviously get a hpi done but.....where on the V5 will it say if the car has been written off? Many thanks Luke

Hi all, this is my first post so be kind if I'm repeating something somelse has asked. Basically....I bought a car a couple of months ago and the new owner's log book got lost in the post or something or other. Anyway I sent off my new keepers slip along with my V62 to register the car myself. I recieved a letter from the DVLA on the 30/09/09 to say my application is being processed and should be complete and a new V5C produced on the 14/10/09 but to allow 5 working days from that date which takes it up to this Wednesday before enquiring about the application. My question is.... that I haven't recieved anything back from the DVLA as yet (I know they still have 2 more days) but will I recieved something from them by Wednesday or is it a case of waiting until Wednesday to call and then ask for my V5C to be sent out or god forebid if theres a problem ask them what the problem is! anyhelp would be apprecaited as I'm getting a little twitchy as to why its taking so long. Thanks Luke
