A friend of mine recently received a letter from the DVLA saying that they had received a registration for a change of ownership of the vehicle he is still owning and driving. They asked him to contact them, which he did, informing them he still owned and was driving that vehicle and had not sold or had it stolen. They have now put a hold on the transfer and he has been informed they will send a letter asking for proof of ownership and to send photos of the car, reg and chassis number. Will he have to notify the police that there seems to be some attempt of fraud or will the DVLA automatically do this? Any idea how this could happen?
