4RE Leather Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Just woundering how many of you have had bad dealings with Swansea DVLA? Shall i duck now??? It's just taken them 6 weeks to send my log book back after 8 emails 3 hand written letters one of which was recorded and 6 phonecalls. Normally I send stuff to the Truro in Cornwall as they are very quiet and turn most things round in 4 days including log Books but the dealer where I got my Zed went and taxed it at Boreham wood. It is a good job my car has been of the road with all the agravation as I was intending a road trip to Spain and I am led to believe that you need all the paperwork for the car when visiting this country. Certainly from my coach driving days we had to have the COF and registration documents but had no idea this was for cars as well? Anyway to the main point. It says on the log book "Number of former keepers 1" which is what I knew but has not named the former keeper. Now I am locked in battle trying to find out who it was as I stipulated that I did not want an ex hire or lease car? And the log book does not confirm this? I always thought that it had to show the history. If anyone can help or knows the History of the car I would be obliged. The reg number is BT58CPU. Thanks Peter Quote
thing Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Get a form v888 from the DVLA website - it is a request for information and you can get the total history of your vehicle. I have just done it ... cost me £5 and took 2 weeks but got the complete history including former keepers. Quote
Ekona Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 I'd be amazed if the Zed was en ex-hire or ex-lease car. I've yet to see a single Zed that fell into either of those camps. *awaits the rush of people saying they've seen loads* Quote

ace Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 When buying the car why did you not look at the logbook to check things through before you said yes to it. Quote
waltzinblack Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 Well well well. As I said in the other thread in a much more conversational manner.. it most definitely was a lease car. The 1 former keeper was my brother, he leased it. Quote
4RE Leather Posted May 17, 2011 Author Posted May 17, 2011 When buying the car why did you not look at the logbook to check things through before you said yes to it. Log book was not available for some reason. And it was changed to disabled use hence the delay it getting it back. Quote
