Warning have you recieved your new style logbook yet

[Guest Paul W]

Just to let everyone know. I have several registered vehicles but the only one that I had not received a new V5c for was the motorhome, this had not troubled me as I was not due to renew the tax yet. However I noticed an advert in the national press giving time limits before the existing one is invalid with a number to phone with any queries. On phoning I now find according to their records my vehicle has been sold and passed to a new owner who has been sent the new style logbook. The situation is now under investigation for possible cloning or ringing of a stolen vehicle using my number. I have also got to prove I am still in possession of the vehicle I am awaiting the local police or DVLA representative to call!!! Paul

Paul Serious stuff! I hope all turns out okay for you. In the mean time, do you have that DVLA telephone number to hand? I have just checked my "fleet" files and one of the cars has not had a V5C issued yet. I now want to urgently find out what is going on. Thanks in anticipation. Regards Neal

Hi Neal The number that I picked up from the advert is 0870 240 0010 the date the old ones become invalid is July 2005. i beleive that the number is a general one and you do have to go through the monotonous push this number for whatever thingy, when you get to the car log book level you are given 4 choices noe of which fit but if you don't push any buttons at that point it switches you to an advisor in that department anyway. Good luck Paul
