Registration certificate

littlelady

Can someone advise please,I purchased a small van and my ex partner drove it sometimes,he has since left me for another woman and taken the keys of my van and also the V5C doc.
I had to have a wheel clamp put on the van because he tried to take it off my drive,there is no longer any tax or mot on it.
I have found out that he has sorn the van also.
Not sure what i can do about the v5c any advice please,there is no way of contacting the ex partner due to violence and I have no idea where he is.

Sorry I forgot to add that his name was on the registration document has the keeper.

did you get a receipt in your name?

Nick it back.
Apply for a V5 in your name, if you're at the registered address you'll get away with it. If he has changed the address you won't.

He took the receipt with him,my van is on my drive I cannot drive it because he left with my van keys and the log book which has his name on it,he has sorn the van but i do not know what address he has given DVLA.

So I cannot use the van or even sell it,I am moving house in the next 4 months and I have the problem of the van.

if the van is worth money then I think you are going to need to see a solicitor,most do a half hour consultation for free,you could also try ringing DVLA for their advice

Look at

page 5

then you can fill in
http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/@motor/documents/digitalasset/dg_065303.pdf

and you can get the details from the V5

What you do with the details though, I'm not sure. Get your solicitor to advise him to move it I would guess. Or register it in your name.
