If a car is on finance and the person paying the finance receives the VC5 documents and log book etc and has their details on it, would the registered keeper or finance company receive the NiP first?

Registered keeper.

In a case such as this, the finance wouldn't even be known about by the Police / CPS.

So As long as my name is on the V5C the 14 day rule applies to me, with a financed car?

Almost certainly. But do check most carefully if you are trying this apparent loophole. Be sure that the letter is the first one and not a reminder. Also be aware that it's not the date you receive the letter, it's calculated from the date it was posted.
