New Car Registered In Wrong Name!?
Discussion
Hello!
So I need some help - I have just taken delivery of a brand new car. Everything has gone through a Mercedes dealership, finance, signing all the docs in my name etc. About a week before collection, I took in a retention document for a provate plate I wanted to put on the car, this was previously on a car registered in my mums name, she had signed the document to pass it over to me, I handed it to the sales guy and he said it all looks good.
Anyway, collection day came - signed all the final bits of paperwork and at the last moment both myself and the salesman realised that they had registered the car in my Mums name - he said he would look at changing this, but a few weeks have passed now and still nothing - the V5 has turned up in my mums name and i'm not convinced they are going to be able to reverse this.
Has anybody else every encountered a problem like this?
Initially - my insurance had to be changed which has affected my premium slightly as the main driver is not the registered keeper. Secondly, if this cannot be fixed to resolve this, there is going to be an additional owner on what is effectively a month old car.
Any help would be greatly apreciated!
