DVLA Accidentally Informed my Car was Written Off

HELP PLEASE.
My previous insurance company accidentally informed the DVLA that my car was a CAT B write off. Hastings Direct is the guilty party. I have spent weeks on the phone to they to get them to rectify the issue and they claim they have. The DVLA inform me they have not been updated but I just keep going backwards and forwards between the 2. Neither are very helpful. I want to sell the car but am unable to do this as the DVLA won't issue a V5C (I had a private plate I took off the vehicle). Any advice???

Raise a formal written complaint with the insurer then take it to the ombudsman0

...and make sure you add on to your claim your costs of taxing and insuring it while all this is going on.0
