Online application was filled in with new V5 details with my address , at no point does it say it will be sent to previous owner  There is option to fill in the application without reminder sent , i never had a reminder as i only had the car 3 weeks before it was due . Car is in my name and all correct with insurance so i should be on the data base no ? Especially as they sent the V5 to my address 2 weeks before tax was due .

Stuff em! they've got your money,use your car,it can take a few days...don't worry

 

I cant see what the problem is , ive paid for it and if i get stopped i can prove ive paid for it . So why give only 5 days grace  Anyway it should have been here by now so as far as im concerned im legal , no mix up with log book as i already had that before i sent off for the tax 
Ok i left it a bit late but within the given days they said it would arrive , it would take some nasty police man to punish me for not having the new disc even though ive shelled out for it 

There lies the problem then.

Nope . I sent it within the 5 day tollerence .

It would be exactly the same as if i went to the post office , they would still process it the same way with new V5 details and document number and address . If they have sent it to previous owner i put that down to their fault as they have been given the correct address with new V5 reference number when it was applied for

The database won't have been changed that quick and it does state on the online form not to apply unless you have received the reminder through the post I would contact the previous owner

I renewed mine online today, 23 days before expiry. If you leave it till the last minute, you may have to sweat a bit.

There's always a queue at my local post office on the last day of the month, can't understand it myself.

When you tax online, you always receive a confirmation email. There is a phone number in it to ring if it doesn't turn up......so ring it.

Does the V5C registration certificate hold your current address? Please note, this service cannot change your address.

V5 was in my name and i had it before application .

I have not received the tax disc. What should I do?
If the tax disc has not arrived after 5 working days, please phone DVLA between 8.00am to 8.30pm Monday to Friday and 8.00am to 5.30pm Saturdays on 0300 123 4321. When you make the call, please have the reference number available and choose option 4 then option 1.

I have not received the tax disc. Can I use the vehicle without the tax disc displayed?
When you apply for a tax disc online or by using DVLA's phone service you are able to legally continue to drive your vehicle for up to 5 days after the tax disc has expired while you wait for the new tax disc to arrive. This will only apply when you have applied for a new tax disc before the current one expires. You should continue to display the expired disc on your vehicle, until the new one arrives.

I genuinely wouldn't give a shite. Just taxed a BMW that's been on sorn for 6 months and driven it from the minute they took my money online. If a copper really has nothing better to do then its a bloody safe world out there.
