So you’re asking if you can go and steal a car?

Or would I be in trouble (probably)

I sold a car about 3 month ago and changed the ownership right away online and got the email and slip from the dvla

I got a letter today saying it was seized about 2 months after I sold it, so why this letter has came to me god knows, anyway..

It got seized due to no ins and/or d/licence, now apart from wishing I hadn't sold it, I still have the V5 apart from the green slip which I gave the new owner because i changed it online (as stated above) could I go and chance it and say it's mine, or would I be then committing an offence ie theft for starters and/or fraud thrown at me for trying to get it back.

Just wondered..

You sold a car, got paid for it and informed the DVLA that you are no longer the registered keeper.
You are now proposing to try and steal the car back by lying that it is your car and using an out of date V5C to back that up.
Can’t see what could possibly be wrong with that idea

As above

Is this the same car you had trouble with the police over due to it being cloned?

I’m pleased somebody quoted the O/P before the inevitable flounce came….

Not i

I had a friend who fell off his Kawasaki KR1S. Due to cost of the body panels, this was sufficient to write it off. He sold it to a breaker, and filled in the V5 to declare as much.

Some months later, immaculately restored, it was abandoned at the scene of a robbery. The police came knocking on my friend's door as the last registered keeper. The breaker he'd sold it to denied all knowledge.

Bottom line is that after ruling him out from their enquiries, the bike was returned to him.

Oh well

What I think has happened with me, the guy who bought it must have gave me a false name and address. I did it online the first thing the next morning as they close the system at 7 or 7.30pm.

He or somebody got stopped 2 weeks ago they didn't have a licence, insurance or tax so siezed it, as stated also on the letter. The driver obviously would get done ect.

Because the police would try and contact who I sold I to but can't get them, it's came to me. And says at the bottom of the letter that I being the registered owner are required to collect it with 14 days of the date of the letter.

But I will go Monday and explain and see what happens.

Agree with this, you no longer own the car.
