Bought 2nd hand car, have v5c, still showing as taxed
Discussion
Bought a 2nd hand car private sale a few weeks ago. As I was going away shortly after, I drove it directly from the vendor to storage and did not tax it, intending to do it on my return in march.
Very nice retired chap said he said he would cancel the direct debit the next day and complete the online new keeper process.
On my return I have had the V5C delivered a few days after I had left sometime around the 16th Feb. So fine, I will go to tax it I thought. Except, the car is still showing as taxed till Feb 26.
How is this possible? My understanding was that he should have been refunded for the remaining 11 months upon completion of the new keeper supplement. It looks like he paid for it with a yearly DD, but that should have been cancelled surely?
Gov Tax check
When I went to pay for the tax it says it's still taxed till feb 26

If it is a clerical error, I'm not much concerned about the repercussions from dvla, I'm more concerned they're still taking the old chaps money when they shouldn't be.
I will check with him tomorrow whether or not he has received his refund.
Do you know if he has actually completed the keeper change?I will check with him tomorrow whether or not he has received his refund.

If he is paying on a monthly DD there will not be a refund.I will check with him tomorrow whether or not he has received his refund.
