Hi,

Im hoping someone can help me out on a matter concerning a lease car i had and gave back at the end of last year.
I have just received a court summons through the post for failing to notify regarding the change of keeper.
Is this not the leasing companies job to do after i have handed the car back and the car has moved onto wherever it has gone next?
I had 2 lease cars at the same time and have not had the same trouble with the other car regarding changing the keeper records..
Can anyone shed any light on this scenario and also what are tho implications if i were to be found guilty of this i.e. penalty points, fine??
Regards

I have just been notified that the v5 was actually in my name even though it was a lease vehicle on a 12 month lease. The car was handed back after the 12 months saying i had to do nothing from then on besides making sure the car was in good condition.
Anyway i have just spoke to the DVLA and to prevent it from going to court it was a £55 fine/charge. Would still be interested to hear if it was the lease company who was liable even though they had put the v5 in my name?
