    The V5 registration document does not prove ownership and it even says it in big letters on the front of it. You have proof of payment for it, it should be a no brainer.

    Has she left you? If so then tell her you want it back or you'll go to the Police and report it stolen.

    If you have a key to the car why not just go and collect it?

    I could find my original agreement with former owner (it was 6 years ago).
    When I asked police what shout I do, they told me go to solicitor.
    So now I will go and reported is stolen.
    I paid by cache.
    I change V5 to her name because I get company car.

    The police won't want to know. If the V5 is in her name, you'll be hard pushed to prove you own it.

    How can I prove?
    Agreement with former owner, bank loan, any maintenance is in my name (invoice). She is only on V5.
    I was main driver, I used most the car. She just took the key and go.

    Do you have the V5? If so, walk back to the Police station, tell them the car is stolen, point at the big red bit that says a V5 is not proof of ownership and tell them to do their f'kin job.

    If you have the V5, change the ownership to yourself.

    Now, if that was true you could claim anyones car.
    Doesn't prove she doesn't own it either.
    If her name is on the V5 you could even have made a gift of it.
