My sister went through a similar ordeal, she bought car of a colleague as he was moving to australia for a new job, she had to leave the country due to my nan passing away. The guy filled in the V5 all wrong and we have only just sorted it a few months down the line, they do have a form for requesting or amending the v5, plus I remember supplying them proof of purchase of the vehicle.
