Lets all ring 0300 333 4444 and report a black Alfa Romeo registration ML54BFO stolen!
Come on Bella! Make a nuisence of yourself and fight for your rights! ReRegister the car in your name! Ring the DVLA! Take them on! Buy an old banger and disable their vans by crashing into them!
I'd love to cause damage to LBS and their vans, but they have just vanished. Their place down Camper Road is totally cleared out as is their other places in Brook Road, Rayleigh.Come on Bella! Make a nuisence of yourself and fight for your rights! ReRegister the car in your name! Ring the DVLA! Take them on! Buy an old banger and disable their vans by crashing into them!
Mark Stone's Range Rover Sport registration is on the Facebook group 'Stop Wheel Clamping' along with his home address! By the way; on the V5 doc it says 'not proof of ownership'! So keep on phoning the police and report it stolen!

I haven't read all of this, just skimmed through it quickly. From experience I know that the DVLA have the odd thing go wrong but did you receive the acknowledgment letter from them about the change of keeper? If so doesn't it mention that if this is an error to contact them? Would assume that this did happen and you did contact them but that they probably weren't very helpful.
Also the keeper listed on the V5C isn't always the owner of the vehicle so why won't the police do anything about it on that basis. As you are the owner just not the registered keeper then you should be fine to report it stolen. Mind you if they are saying that you can't as you are not the owner then there must be a lot of cars out there that have been reported stolen illegally as technically the owner is the finance company.
What about re registering it in your name and when the V5C shows up go to the police station and report it stolen showing them that you are the registered keeper. If the person or company who has registered it in their name gets an acknowledgment, which I doubt as it will probably be to some false address, chances are you would of already had the V5C and reported it stolen and car recovered.
Maybe worth a go anyway.
The DVLA we're less than helpful, I didn't get a letter until mid October saying someone has applied for ownership of my car and gave me 14 days to object to it and the only way to stop it was for a stolen marker to be placed on the car but the police we're like its still a civil matter as it happened on private property ffs!!Also the keeper listed on the V5C isn't always the owner of the vehicle so why won't the police do anything about it on that basis.

I have also tried registering the car in my name again but someone objected to it and proved it was in their possession grr!!

Just had a thought after that last comment. If they have registered the car in another name then technically you could argue that they bought the car. How about trying to claim against them for that. Send a debt recovery agent after them, get car repossessed as they haven't paid you something like that. Obviously there is the cost of the car plus loss of interest on that money. Maybe even try it through MCOL.
Already covered that idea, it appears LBS had sold the car via auction within 2 weeks of having the car and the people who now have the car seems to be an innocent party, hence why the police won't put a stolen marker on the PNC system dwspirit said:

Oh did you guys also know that Matthew Boosey is now employed by Essex Police as a bailiff as he applied a few days after the car was taken.
Now how is that right?
Do the Police employ bailifs? Do you mean the courts?Now how is that right?

I hope a bloody great big lorry drives into your car whilst parked in B&Q car park.
Then you can claim on your insurance as you still have an interest in the car.
Nice idea but the insurance expired on the 31st October and no way I am paying car insurance for a car I no longer have!Then you can claim on your insurance as you still have an interest in the car.

The name on the V5 doesn't mean they are the legal owner of the car. It just means they are the registered keeper.
You will have all the paper work when you bought the car, finance agreement, receipt etc...
Isn't this proof of ownership?
The car was not parked illegally, it was parked on private land which is trespass. Not a criminal offence. Have you contacted the landlords/land owners? It must be the same landlord as Dominos if its in the same car park but the clamping only applies to the bays.
Anyway good luck with this.
PS If it happens again, DO NOT LEAVE your car. Sit in it and lock your doors. If you are harasses or threatened call the police.
The landlord that had instructed LBS supports what LBS have done and couldn't give a toss about what has happened, Domino's are like not bothered either so I am kinda glad I don't work for them anymore.You will have all the paper work when you bought the car, finance agreement, receipt etc...

Oh and I tried getting to my car after they put the clamp on but was refused entry to it and was pushed away yet the police still done nothing!!

I do not understand how the illegal removal of a car from private land is a civil matter. Doesn't matter if it was done by a 'legit' company it's still bloody theft.
I also do not understand how you can change the ownership or RK details of a car without the V5...if it's that easy what's to stop me from renting a truck with a hiab crane and 'taking ownership' of the Q7 that lives up my road?
Big sympathy to the OP. Have to say you seem to be handling this well. I would not be, as I'm one of those people who doesn't get angry but gets even.
And then some.
I was very angry when this 1st happened, didn't help people on here calling the story BS but anyways I find that taking my stress from all this is far better in the gym rather than shouting or hitting someone or doing something worse I also do not understand how you can change the ownership or RK details of a car without the V5...if it's that easy what's to stop me from renting a truck with a hiab crane and 'taking ownership' of the Q7 that lives up my road?

Also keep an eye on the Echo newspaper as they will be doing about the police help or lack of help in this matter, that's going to ruffle some feathers up at HQ

I really hope you get this sorted Scott, and that anyone who has failed in their duty to act in your interests is called to account.
Even if you do look a bit shifty in the rag.
Already been told I looked a bit like Harry Potter Even if you do look a bit shifty in the rag.
