Some advice needed please - I have a private reg which was bought for me which is very sentimental. Anyways, I went to dealer and traded in my car. Made aware I had never done this - always sorted by my husband. Anyways, they knew I had a private plate and asked me to fill in a v319 and sent together with payment, and asked if car ever been sorned (it appears may have been previously on garage forecourt bought from).

Bottom line - I received an email from company buying the car from the auction. It went to advising plate in my name and they got my details from info in car (car went to auction), and basically they cannot so do anything with the car due to me having registration. And hence why they could contact me - just to keep me right if this ok.

1. Car should not have sold with my plates on.

2. My info should not have been left in car.

3. Although dealer saying sale on hold there is a chance I could loose my plate ? Just need some advice. Garage have said it will be sorted and I will have my reg plate.

[Still not entirely clear. I have done my best. A career of teaching English may have helped.]

Sorry - I can't make head or tail of this. Your first sentence runs for 5 lines.

Avant, I think you are being generous. If it weren't for those three numerals I might have thought the full-stop key was out of order. But punctuation apart, I suppose the message is vaguely clear, especially after clarification from FP.

As regards the OP's question, I thought a fee of £80 covered the transfer of a plate. It may involve knowing whether the car still belongs technically to her or the trader ?
