Wallachie Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hopefully some of you guys will know this, so before I call DVLA and make a tit out of myself I thought I would ask here first! Do the DVLA offer a service whereby you can ask them to contact the owner of a registration on your behalf? I'm after a registration that was bought recently from a local trader, and I would like to ask the new owner of they'd sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TP27 Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Not sure how rules on Privacy/Freedom of Information etc work here. There must be some sort of service, especially as the DVLA control the Reg market ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 They can't tell you, it's directly in contravention of the DPA. The police could. Try ringing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Or set up a parking company and say they need to be done for parking in xx carpark and you will be sorted. They will sell you anything for a few pennies then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah you can still do that. Although I don't think you can print the form online, you need to go to a DVLA local office and speak to some moron behind the counter who will give you the form there.

Mook Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Which is why my car wears a "non reg mark" when it's going around a track. "Nice car mister, what's it got in it?" "Oh look, now I know where you live.." Not for me thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 £2.50 is not a large amount to pay to have the satisfaction that the tw@t that was dicking about behind me in the silver MG ZT (BT52***) (its a Rover mate!) yesterday had been paid back for his stupid and unbelieveably dangerous driving!!
