Just filled a V62 , sometimes we have known the previous post code , mostly we haven't got the post code though like the one last night . Took V62 to post office with new keepers name address , paid £25 because we didn't know the previous post code , Post office taxed the car and the girl will get her V5 in due course as normal .

have a word with the wife 299 Posted September 25, 2019 (edited) I have never known this situation ? have you double checked the vin matches the reg ? i would also double check the vin numbers on the car for tampering, at a guess i would suggest its got a twin when we had the local dvla offices and there was a situation like this they would send somebody out, not that they were any good at there job, she asked me where the vin number was The other week i applied for one with a £25 cheque, got a 2nd class letter returning cheque saying there was a mistake on it [ and i have studied and studied it, cant fault it ] unusually they did not return the v62 application with it [ they normally do] just said return the letter with another cheque, which i did same day, first class, log book came next day , which was a bit strange to say the least, if i had held out till next day, i would be £25 up, dvla, never ever rely on them, never assume they know what theyre doing, and always if its important send it recorded .

They printed it on 27th I did give them 14 days and told them they shouldn't be faffing about with 2nd class post and enclosing 2nd class return envelopes. I also said that they have asked me for same info again and are taking the Mickey. They used first class post this time. So emails do work folks. I did ring them up ten minutes later and asked them If They received it. So i am guessing the dead beat that confirmed the email opened it and actioned it straight away. In future i will always enclose a copy of the BCA invoice to speed things up. Edited October 2, 2019 by TangoVictor32 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 164 Posted October 7, 2019 If you have no V5 but you have the previous name and address of last owner you can get a new V5 in 1 week not 6 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
