68vitesse Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Opened a letter this morning without looking at the name, correct address but in the name of a person who never lived here. It contains a V5 for a car I have never owned so looks like only option is to reseal mark addressee unknown also car never owned and put it back in the post. I will not be including my name.

AndyTV8 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’d advise taking photographs of the document, and send it back to DVLA via recorded delivery as a simple insurance policy record of your actions in case of any future weirdness. ......

Mathew Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Looks like you could have a few people knocking on your door when the speeding fines are not paid, worse if that person leaves uses the vehicle for a more serious crime. I have know someone woken by armed police by his bedside, not his actions. Best photo and inform dvla before anything happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit serious for speeding? "You were clocked moving faster than a speeding bullet...." But if that was me Paul I'd be writing straight to DVLA, enclose an explanatory letter and the V5 you've received, to distance yourself from the vehicle. Just putting it back in the post is a bit of pot luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
