Good Afternoon all,
I need a little advice from you good people.
I purchased my house almost 2 years ago, today in the post arrived a V5 registration document for someone else ? In my address.
I have opened it because anything Official looking I always do, for fear of identity fraud.
I’d like to know what action to take, getting through to the DVLA is not an easy task.
I have received letters for this individual before and always either returned them not known at this address, or if flyers binned them.

Return to sender with "not known at this address" on the envelope

I'd put it back in the post marked Not Known at this Address, although DVLA have been quite helpful when I've phone them in the past.

Is the individual a previous resident in a proper capacity ie owner, tenant, lodger?

If not just return to DVLA by post.

If so write 'incorrect address / no forwarding address known' on the envelope and return to DVLA.

If its former owner, was anything outstanding on the house that was promised? Await credit card and pin number then go shopping :geek::rolleyes::D:D

The property I purchased was previously rented out, it was owned by an Arsenal Football Club scout.
His job took him all over the world, so he rented it out.
Yes this person is an ex tenant , I’ve done some google work and I’ve found his new address which is just around the corner!!!!
I think I might give him a visit ?

Presumably the previous house occupier has boobed again and will be wondering where his V5 has got to.
Send it back to DVLA as suggested. It might eventually get to its rightful recipient.

Edit - just seen that you know where he lives. As a good samaritan, problem solved then.
