How can I get a V5 when the company which sold me a car has disappeared?
Please advise me on getting my V5 as it seems that the company I bought my car from is no longer trading. I took delivery of a car at the beginning of April and was informed at the time that the V5 would take approximately 12 weeks to get to me. As it is now over 14 weeks I tried today to contact them and found the line dead. Having looked on the web I find that I am not the only person in this position, but I would be grateful for some information on how to proceed in obtaining my V5.

Get a form V62 and apply for a V5C in your name. This explains how to do it: www.direct.gov.uk/en/diol1/doitonline/dg_4017825
Another Derbyshire broker who remains in business was recently prosecuted and fined £500 with costs for not warning customers of the consequences of buying a car of which they would not immediately become the registered keeper. Readers tell me that broker has now revised his terms of business.
