Not option to answer this one in the Law topic

[Maydup]

Can anyone see a reason why we can't answer this Q?

How strange - I saw the post when it came up, I could be sure there was an answer option then.

A closed question but the answer is always always fill in and inform DVLA.

How odd - thought you were implying that the question was iffy, didn't notice that there wasn't an 'answer' box when I saw it earlier.

[boxtops]

That's what I thought, mamya - it's your responsibility to inform them you've sold it, otherwise you're liable, as the OP has now found out.

[Maydup]

But why would it be closed mamya?

And I would tell the Swiss to go and yodel for their money.

When I just posted my comment, it brought up the other question while my answer to your question was submitted.

[boxtops]

I think only the Ed can close a question - perhaps there are legal implications in the question.

[chrissa1]

How odd and I read the whole post too.

[Mamyalynne]

No idea why it is closed but the seller is king and always fill in the slip. no matter what the dealer says (speak as car dealer in the past)

[grasscarp]

I wanted to say, but couldnt! That the problem is in the start of the story.
"He said do not fill in the change of ownership panel as i am a dealer and do not want it to show an extra owner."
At that point you should have still gone ahead and filled a change of ownership panel. You can tell DVLA the whole story but doubt if they will be sympathetic.

^^ Agree. I think the poster was lucky not to have ended up in more trouble than they are with such a dodgy "dealer". Get the slip sent off now and be pleased that nothing worse happened.

[boxtops]

what is really odd - I just checked - is that if you go to that question now, you CAN answer it. Woss going on?!

[Maydup]

All very odd, maybe Ed's fixed it. Thanks Boxtops, I've popped over to the thread too.
