    LOL. The local DVLA office should be able to tell you where the vehicle was MOT'd which will allow you to contact them for a copy although there's likely to be a charge. . Is there a sticker attached to the windscreen with the expiry date on? If there is, there should be the test station number there as well. Your insurers can provide a replacement certificate.
    Armed with that lot, you should be able to go to the DVLA office and tax it filling in a tax disc applicatino and the V5 application form, stating it wasn't given to you by the previous keeper.
    Apart from that, it's a case of sending off for a new V5 and waiting. Good news is they're taking under 3 weeks.

    Are you saying that the DVLA have sent a new V5c but you don't know where to?

    I moved house nearly a year ago, I couldn't remember if I changed my V5c to the new address, as I couldn't find it, when I was looked for it recently!

    When I phoned them to ask which address my car was registered they told me that they couldn't tell me.. for reasonably obvious reasons - as they couldn't confirm who I was over the phone.

    I did however give them the old address and they happily told me that it was still registered at that address.

    In your case, I really can not believe that they don't know which address they sent it to. they must do, as they will only send it to the registered address. Have you actually tried giving them both addresses and asking them which one they have it registered at?

    Sorry if it is no help, and you have tried this, but it is better to try to be a bit more constructive in this thread!!

    just reread the whole post and think you are amazing tinkerbell , you are a blatent lier about everything i cannot imagine how much of a sad life you lead, you are talking crap about DVLA you are trying to cause arguements, you are not qualified to comment on this topic , especially as you say you have never dealt with a situation the same as this and quite frankly if you are a 27 year old girl that can afford to buy keep and run 12 cars why the hell would you have to deal with there documentation yourself and why teh hell would you waste you days chatting rubbish on a forum - your an internet cliche, probably a fat old women stuck in a chair who has never driven a car in her life pretending that she actually has a life when she is just a forum gremlin:p

    I WARN ANYONE DONT FOLLOW HER FLASE ADVICE, you will get some one f'd over with the fraff you are chatting , i hope you never need advice on anything because i dont think you have made any friends - ever

    im also sure the people that agreed with you are just more accounts you have setup to justify the rubbish you post , total sad act , check the IP's mods

    Mods' can we remove her posts and posts relating to her please ?

    Hi

    I sent in my V5C and V62 form to get a new V5 but they rejected it and sent it straight back, after i had not recieved it so i called to check where it had got to , they told me it had been sent out 6 days ago but had no record of where it went.

    They told me they simply dont have the info on the syetem , they simply dont keep them.

    My problem is that the v5 has not been in my name as the previous owner did not send it off, so registered keeper is still the guy i bought it off, i doubt my docs have gone there - at least i hope not:o - i think they have gone to my old house as that was the address on the V5C (the small new owner suppliment that is given to the owner when the car is purchased) was my old one, i had my new addy on the letter i enclosed but i dont know where they sent it to.

    I think i will take connors advice and get the MOT throughthe old testing station if i can find out where it was done, once i have that send it with the V10 to DVLA office, but i may have to wait until a V5 is sent to me which i cannot get without a V5C(which has been lost by DVLA) so maby i am stuck , but i will see what dvla say

    If i can get the MOT replaced thats a start but is the V5 without a V5C i need to work on

    Thanks for the on topic input, i was beggining to think the forum was just full of loons

    Cheers :beer:

    the only wrong address the tax/paperwork could be sent to, would either be the one you gave them, or the original owners addy

    depending on what order your paperwork was done in, the tax could have been issued, before the change of ownership had been done. in this case the tax would be sent to the original owner, so contact them first

    DVLA wont be able to tell you where the tax was sent, as they arent allowed to give out any personal information

    As long as your change of ownership has been noted, you should get a V5 in the post within the next week or so, and then you can start applying for tax again. However in the meantime, apply to have the current tax disk refunded (ok you will loose 1m tax), but thats another matter you can dispute with them at a later date

    Thanks,

    I will take all this on board to query DVLA when i speak to them tommorow.

    I was told that everything had been rejected though so i think it was all returned, there is no V5 or tax issued yet.


    I'll get there, luckily i have second car :p and a large private drive:p so i wont get busted for anything in the meantime - lol

    thanks !

    Ah, and i thought you'd put me on ignore :p

    Think my thanks ratio for itself, i don't have any alternate usernames and the rest of your assumptions are wrong too. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Funny that you now admit that the address on the form you sent was your old one ;)

    Keep it coming, big boy. I can take it. :D
