Log Book advice

terryya

I've just sold my car and was about to send of the V5 to DVLA when I noticed that the seller has filled in their details but not signed the bottom. They live over an hour away so I can't just expect them to call round, I'd prefer not to have to drive to them and I obviously don't want to post it to them.

There is a little voice in my head saying just write their name in the box and be done with it. Can anyone see any practical problems with this?

abbecer

Yes. It's fraud. I wouldn't risk it.

Quentin

Yes - why consider fraud?

Just send it off and if there are any comebacks deal with the problem then.

If everything is on it except the signature (name address etc) I'd just post it to DVLA. Keep a note of the info and if you haven't received an acnowledgement within a month to 6 weeks, write to them.

sign your name and after it put PP

then enclose a note saying why you signed it

Yeah, sorry the buyer hasn't signed the bottom. They filled in the rest and signed a 'receipt' but not this bit!

then as my post above,and along with the note put a photocopy of the receipt

Thanks for advice. I wasn't looking for a different answer just clarifying the glaring error in the OP.

Just put any old scribble on it - no one will check.
