no V5 yet :(

[millworm]

I bought my nova 4 weeks ago monday and i still Haven't revived my v5. I have the section that the buyer gets with the details of the car on it, but i'm starting to get annoyed as I can't tax it at the moment. The seller is only round the corner so I'll ask him when he sent of his half but any ideas on a general amount of time they take to come through? I really don't want to have to fill out a v62 and pay another £25.

It can take up to 6 weeks but if you phone them they will tell you if your tbe regesterd keeper, i bought a calibra 9 weeks ago and still no log book and have weighed the car in since

I was under the impression that you can tax it with the buyer part

[chrisd1986]

You can tax it with the green slip once, i had to tax my nova with it the other day as ive only had it 2 weeks

And the DVLA can/will make spelling mistakes at randon

I sent off a logbook to change a car from my sons name to mine, filled in all the bits correctly and they promptly returned the logbook after @ month still in his name!!!! ...........nkers

Use the green slip to tax the car!

I see your problem... lol

As said, can tax using buyers slip, also if you send the buyers slip when applying for a replacement v5 you won't get charged. I've had to do that before. :)

If you say you havent recieved it but you have the green slip, the seller is the one liable for the £25 not you, you will get it for free as usual.

i wouldnt worry about it, took 8 weeks for my birds to come thru the name was spelt wrong :roll:, sent it of another 2 times to be corrected, came back wrong again gave up when the headgasket let go lol

dvla has a backlog at the min as i sold a car and the buyer hadnt/ still hasnt received the log book, but a quick call to dvla confirmed that there was a backlog and it may take 9weeks.

[millworm]

I have 2 V5's thanks to that. One with my name (Hone) and one with Kone...lol Funnyest bit was i hadn't sent it off for a name change!

[brainsnova]

They mess up the v5 but why can't their computer say I've got road tax lol

[Jon_nova1]

My current car is in the wrong name and was sent to the right number 2 streets away, it eventually arrived....can't be bothered sorting it lol

[chrisd1986]

Ive never had a cock up with any log books in the past (touch wood) but im sure that there is a 1st for everything. Dose anyone remember wben they cocked up peoes licences

Well thing is he never had the log book at sale as he said he was waiting for it from dvla so I bought the car with no log or proof I own it..

4 months on he told me came through an he would post it, 2 months passed an I tried calling texting seeIng where it was, he ignored me and had been for about 6 months until now he decides to blame royal mail just because I work for them, ****in prick an ill let him if see him again too..

[turbojolt]
