Just got a big pack of stuff back from DVLA where I attempted to register 4 imports. Two were okay, but I'll come to the wierd shit on that later.
Two were sent back to me as I didn't have a title, but did supply all the lien papers which are usually accepted so I'm told by others who have done this. They are proper papers all stamped up and were good enough for California customs to allow the export of the vehicles. Normally no vehicles can leave California without a title, so, for them to allow export on lien papers makes it okay. I have no idea why DVLA sent this lot back, is it down to another new guy not "on the ball"? as I do know at least two guys who have done this successfully. DVLA told me they need the title to prove the age of the vehicle (lien papers show this too) to get an age related plate.
Now that brings me to the other two which were successful. One of them is a 1962 Chevy truck and my paperwork was submitted with MOT etc, and form filled in as date of first reg 01/01/62. My V5 has come back with first reg as 01/06/14 and first UK reg as the same.
I have also noticed recently that some V5s coming back are giving first reg date properly i.e. 01/01/.. bUT some are coming back as 31/12/.. WTF????
Anybody on here registered on lien papers or anybody know what to do next. I'm not normally stuck or asking for advice, but here we go................. Oh, and please guys, don't start asking or discussing lien papers and what they are, let's keep this clean and find out why some at DVLA allow them and some don't. If you haven't heard of lien papers, please start a separate thread as I don't want this to go off at a tangent if possible. Some threads on here get a bit mixed up and off topic, much easier if we have a new thread each time a new topic comes up:tup:
