I purchased a car recently , the car was advertised on Ebay and paid privately in full to the seller, but was told there was no logbook due to having private plates on the vehicle, but no problem get a V62 form from the Post Office and tax the car, which is what i did today and the Post office declined payment and I should ring the DVLA to sort out.The DVLA said they can not do this as the seller has not informed them of the sale, but to send off the paperwork to the DVLA with payment and I should get the logbook back in about four weeks and in the meantime I was not allowed to drive the car.My question is does this sound a fair way to do business?
