Contracts 68 Posted July 1, 2019 Over the past month we have had several calls on cars where the potential buyer has asked for the V5 Dispatch codes (not the main reference) claiming they need it to work out export tax. We obviously refused to give them however I have spoken with DVLA and they can’t tell me what someone could use these codes for. For the record none of the people took their enquiries any further so I assume there is some sort of scam. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
David Horgan 564 Posted July 2, 2019 Seen this before where they ask you for a few details eg; despatch code , reg details , then v5 ref number , that point they can get a log book loan against your car . You wont know till you HPI / experian check it or a customer does the same , Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOACROSS 414 Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I never understand this so called ‘log book loans’. V5 is not proof of ownership. Even says so on the back. There must be other requirements. Edited July 2, 2019 by NOACROSS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
