Doesn't matter who paid for it, the V5 is the legal binding contract.
WRONG. Owner does not equal keeper.
On the very front page of the V5 in big bold letters it states that the V5 is not proof of ownership.
Please note what it says in the big blue band:

Ummmmmm................ ok fair enough.
But why then was there such a fuss years ago about people taking ownership of cars by stealing or forging the V5?“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Would you buy a car from a stranger without the V5C?Strider590 wrote: »Ummmmmm................ ok fair enough.

Of course you wouldn't, so the only way a thief can hope for an easy "sale" is to have all the paperwork to show the prospective buyer.
Getting that paperwork off the true owner isn't going to be easy, but forging one is a piece of pi$$Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0 -
Situation is that a friend (really) was bought a car a couple of years ago. The person buying the car has a receipt stating that he is the owner, price, and date of purchase, etc - it was a private purchase.
The registration document was sent to the DVLA with my friend as the registered keeper.
The problem has arisen because my friend has given the car back, and asked that the keeper be changed, but the owner will not agree to have the DVLA registration document changed to their name.
Who has the car now? If the 'owner' has it, then tell your friend to send off the V5 with an attached letter explaining the situation stating that he no longer has an interest in the car or has posession of it. If possible, enclose a copy of the receipt that you mention.PLEASE NOTEMy advice should be used as guidance only. You should always obtain face to face professional advice before taking any action.0 -
That what I said. Just an awkward so-and-so.
Sorry Lowflyer, you'll have to be more specific than that.
Why did he "return" it? The new owner must have given some reason why they do not want to be the registered keeper, is it an ex-partner, for example? Are there any offences pending?The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
Ex partner. No outstanding offences. Just bloodyminded.Sorry Lowflyer, you'll have to be more specific than that.

It isn't "Independentwoman" by any chance?

Completely wrong.
Read the new V5, they have made it even clearer for those that think they know it all.0
