Catalyst Auto 6 Posted November 26, 2019 Hi All Need a bit of advice regarding a notice of intended prosecution. I received this on 24/11 regarding a speeding camera fine on 28/10, however this vehicle was sold into trade on 23/9. I have explained the issue to the police force in question and I have been asked to produce a letter from DVLA stating I am no longer the registered keeper of the vehicle from 23/9, however I do not have this just the receipt from the trader in question. I am aware that the vehicle has been sold on but the V% has not been updated and it is still in my name. A quick check on the vehicle also shows there is no tax and has not been since I sold the vehicle. Anyone provide advice as I could do without getting 6 points and £1000 fine when I currently have a clean licence. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just pass the buck on If you sold it to say AJ Motors of Blah, that's all you can do. Send a copy of the sales receipt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pmpants 14 Posted November 26, 2019 You say the car is still registered in your name, are you a consumer or trader? Either way I presume you filled in the yellow "transfer to a motor trader" section of the v5c? If you filled this in as you should have and took a copy of it and YOU sent it off in September then you shouldn't have any problem, you've told the DVLA that you no longer own the car. You should have received confirmation they received it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be chasing them in the morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contracts 68 Posted November 26, 2019 As above, just nominate the company you sold it to as driver, they will then get a notice and need to nominate their driver. We get them all the time and never have a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
