Hi there,
I (foolishly) gave my car to a friend of a friend for scrapping unaware of the rules for scrapping cars, ie Authorised Scrap Yards. I sent in the registration cert but they sent it back with a letter about the scrappage rules.
The car has been scrapped but i doubt i will get a cert of destruction, what are my options here with regard to breaking my association with the car.
Thanks
use the registration form to transfer it to your friends name - put in his name and address then send it off. He will then be the owner of the car and you will have noting to do with it.
I had my car wrote off and the insurance company sent an agent to collect it. He took all documentation with him (it was still taxed) I thought that was the end of it until until I received my car tax renewal notice. The agent had not changed it from my name and the Motor Tax office would not accept a written letter from me to say I did not own the car anymore. Even after obtaining an Affidavit from a solicitor they would not take me off being the owner because the change of ownership slip had not been sent in. If the car was repaired I would still be liable to fines for that car.
