Incorrect V5

[Easy-X]

Being in IT quite often I get roped in to help the computer illiterate (and even the literally illiterate) with things like eBay or on-line government services...

I was attempting to pay for a family member's Congestion Charge and it said that their vehicle did not need to pay. Is it electric? "No, diesel" WTF? No CC and no ULEZ?! Have you got the V5? "I think it's with the car stuff..."

It says "taxation class: mobility." Now I'm assuming that's some sort of disabled thing. Who filed in this V5? "The man did." The man? "Yes, the nice young man at the dealership." okay...

AFAIK it's the responsibility of whoever is selling the car to fill in the V5. Does this include correcting the mobility thing? Also, could my relative get into any trouble over this?

I suppose it could be classed as fraud but I wouldn't bother about it personally. I doubt the Flying Squad will be battering his back doors in.

It's not as if HE registered it as a mobility car. Blame the salesman if anything ever surfaces.

You need to go to the Post office to change the taxation class, I did it a good few years ago with a disabled vehicle. It might be easier now.

Is it a new car? I only ask because my mothers 'friend' is disabled and has 'bought' cars before and refused delivery various times for random reasons..presumably the docs were registered by the dealer for a disabled person, not sure you can decide what taxation class it is based on the v5 and if you can and it is disabled it's gonna need some paperwork backup to make that happen.

he wont be able to tax it either unless he has a disability


my mgzt was registered as disabled and I had to go to post office and pay six months upfront to get it sorted and changed on the v5

How interesting. Another V5 has turned up but this one has the correct taxation class. DVLA being... well, the DVLA

<addendum> but still showing as exempt for CC & ULEZ
