    Just trying to get some advice for my boyfriend.
    What would the procedure be for him getting fines in his door for speeding etc for a car registered in his name that he previously sold to a garage years ago? All he knows at this stage is that the garage owner is not co-operating and the car is still registered to him.

    Happened to my uncle a few months back, went to the station explain will his insurance certs for his new car and showed oh his old insurance when it was swapped over, from what I remember he had to go back down to the tax off and file out sum forms....

    lousy thing of the garage to do. People should ALWAYS send off the registration book themselves.

    When dealing with a car dealer you give them the VRC.

    The thing is dealers are supposed to do the change of ownership online. Unless you stand there and watch you have no way of knowing if it is done.

    He's applied to Aviva for a statement of his insurance anyway so he'll have proof it was swapped over. Hopefully that's enough!
