Only thing you can do is go to the police for a start, as other posters have stated, and make a police report that you have been defrauded.

Why did he have the V5 when it was in your name and addressed to you?

How old is your son?

You say he has told you (in no uncertain terms) that he will not pay. How is your relationship now? This situation is obviously eating at you, so if your relationship has broken down, go to the police. As has been said, if nothing else, it will teach him a valuable lesson.
Good luck.

The loan wasnt secured on the car, the car was a cash buy, doesnt that mean the police wont be interested?

The insurance company may want to know why the main driver was a named driver though

I agree he shouldn't have forged the V5, however legally it may well be argued you gave him the car as a gift. There is a clear caption on the V5 stating the registered keeper is not necessary the owner.

The Son could argue it was a gift however it would be very unlikely that it would hold water given the fact it was registered, paid for and insured by the Mother after she took a loan out for it.
You are correct about the keeper etc however it is meant for cases such as a finance company owning the vehicle untill it is paid for but the finance company is not the registered keeper etc. In this case the mother is both the registered keeper and the financier.

The phrase "for my son to buy a car" is interesting. Who was the main user? Was the car a gift? Where was he living when the car was sold? If not with you, why was he allowed to keep your car?

I would asume that the Son was living with the Father as there seems to have been a break up in the family I also understood it was part of the loan to her Son.
Whatever the situation the Son sounds like a nasty peice of work although there are always two sides to a story :rolleyes:
