years and years ago i sold my car with the private reg on and had a signed agreement with the buyer to transfer the reg to me, he had his own private number to go on so this worked out for both of us.
The only way he could do it was to put me as a nominee on my number when he swapped them over, this was all done and i got a form through and all was well.
Now this was a few years back and due to me not wanting my plate on sheddy cars that i had in between then and my golf i never got it onto a vehicle, i cannot find any documents for the plate, moved house etc etc and things have got lost.
I've tried to contact dvla and finally got to talk to a human, and was promptly told they cannot talk to me about it as i'm not the certificate holder.
does anybody know where i will stand with the reg plate? i've e-mailed the guy who i sold the car to but i'm not holding my breath for him to be helpful, in all fairness its not his problem and my fault for not addressing this earlier.
thing is the reg was a 21st present from my family and i would like it back on my car.
