VW Emissions Claim

Is there a way I can find out what VW / Audi cars I have owned between 2008 & 2015?  Would the DVLA be able to assist if I provided, name/address/DOB/driver no? I have had both but don’t have any records going back that far - thanks

    Most people would be able to remember what cars they owned 5 to 12 years ago.

    But you'll find the only actually active group claim closed to new entrants quite a while ago. The others are ambulance chasers hoping to ride on their coat tails, no more than that.

    I'm feeling kind today.

    You dont need a licence to register a car. No DOB is provided either.

    You can pay to get the details from the DVLA why waste your money?

    if you have a facebook profile you will probably soon see ads from sheisters willing to take you as a client.  But be warned: this isn't no win, no fee.

    The ones advertising are not slater and gordon.  Slater and gordon have closed their book on this.  Also S+G have aacording to reports on here charged people who have left their action before it went the distance.
