To cut a long story short, about three years ago my transit was repossessed after a long drawn out argument with Ford. As I was expecting it to be repaired, I didn't bother to transfer my plate off it before it was taken. I assumed I would have lost it but..
The van is now back on the road with its original plate, and my plate has not shown up on any auction sites (i've been keeping a very close eye out for it), but without knowing what car its on, if any, I cant do a DVLA check online. is there any other way to check where a plate is?
What are the chances that i still legally own the plate? I don't have a retention certificate. I don't know the ins and outs of it and probably need to speak to the DVLA but before I try to visit that minefield I wondered if anyone had any experience with stuff like this? If the car had gone to a private seller I know it would be gone, but im not sure if ford would have a different policy regarding this.
