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 ombudsman

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    Jean Cocteau 1889-1963
