    OP, are you losing the plot? Swansea acted as they should have done and consulted you as the RK if the recent requested keeper change was accurate. It was not, you have informed them, so you still have a valid V5C and the requester will be refused a replacement one.
    IF it is your property and in your name, what is stopping you going and collecting it? The notion that the Police would rush round with their blues and twos on to sort out your families girning is laughable. Either go and get it or don't, the forum here aren't going to do it for you.

    Tut tut! There's no need for rudeness! You may well be correct but you don't have to have an attitude!

    We don't have a valid V5C as the DVLA have informed us that we are no longer the registered keeper. There was no consultation. Sounds to me as if the DVLA have already issued a new V5C.

    Report it as stolen, the DVLA will tell you to contact the police and won't help you get it back.

    When someone buys a vehicle reported stolen and applies for a V5 all the DVLA do is write to the local force.

    You know, I was going to give a full reply, but if you think DVLA confirming change of RK to you makes it legal, I'll let you crack on.

    If the relative has a V5 and has insured it where is the evidence they don't have lawful authority. They won't take action and rightly so.
    Doesn't prove ownership though. Ownership rights trump registered keeper rights
    intending to prevent or inhibit the removal of the vehicle by a person otherwise entitled to remove it.

    I would think that the owner has that right

    And as I said being the weekend with no way of verifying either sides story the police would leave the vehicle with the registered keeper.

    A lot of this is not adding up ?
    Is this some college project or something you are doing as when someone answers you questions you appear to have an excuse lined up ?

    Very useful to put suggestions on a public forum, for those without the guile to think of the obvious solution themselves, on how to remove a secondary security device.

    I wouldn't go as far as calling it a security device

    maybe they don,t actually want the car , just want to take a logbook loan out on it as soon as the v5 arrives


    even if the police etc are involved , and you get the V5 back , the loan Co will come for the car
