I bought a used car without a V5 - I can't tax or drive it. What do I do?
I recently bought a used runabout from a trader. It came with a valid MoT, but no V5. Therefore, we could not tax it as it's registered in another name. It's just sat on our drive and the seller won't return our calls. It has a claimed Full Service History with the book stamped, but no receipts for the work he said had been done. What can I do?
