please look out for black classic J44TYL.
my partner bought me the private plate J44TYL at christmas 2008. i put the plate on my black wrx. i got offered good money for the car so sold it but didnt have time to retain the plate before the car went.
and with the agreement with the new owner i kept the logbook and relevent docs to send away to dvla. i stated that when i recieve the new docs etc i will post them to him.
i sent the docs etc to dvla for plate retention and that was that. time passed and i didnt hear anything, so i contacted dvla and they said that they sent a letter out to me saying that someone other than myself had applied to be the new registered keeper. and because i hadnt replied back to them he was granted new ownership and i was getting done for no notification. (i hadnt recieved such letter)
so i rang dvla and tried to contest this, and because he was the new registered keeper and the plate was still on the car he was now the rightful owner of the plate too.
in the meantime i rang the lad, to which all i was getting was no answer, or his missus answering saying he wasnt there and she wouldnt speak to me etc etc, the usual crap!!!
the only other contact i had with him was an email address so i sent him numerous emails etc etc. no answer. and the address for him i had sent to dvla...grrr.
so he deliberatly did this behind my back and is probably laughing his head off now.
now its been about 6 months passed and to be honest ive given up hope. but at the end of the day my missus bought me this plate for christmas and it has upset her and gutted her. and its that whats making me so angry about the whole thing.
ok i know maybe i should have done things different, but it was my first plate and i was new to all this stuff, but he now has a plate that only has a value of 250 quid, means and has no relevance to him or anyone else.
now the lad goes by the name of william minns, lives in stowmarket near ipswich. if i had the complete address i would be down there in a flash.
i did a vehicle check on the dvla database recently and the car came back not taxed and not on the motor insurance database. so its probably been smashed up or blown up etc. which riles me even more knowing the plates probably not even being used........
all i want is my plate back, i dont care if i have to pay the value of the plate again to get it.... just wish the muppet would see sense.
if by any chance anyone knows anything or the whereabouts of the bloke or the car i would be gladly appreciated, i know its a long shot but this really is my only and last hope.
the car is a black 1994 impreza wrx and here are some pics of the car the day i sold it 6 months ago.
thanks guys

i would never sell a car with a private plate on that i want to keep without retaining it first, there are lots of genuine people who would have swapped the plate over but as you said and have been told the plate now belongs to the new owner, and by the looks of dose not want to give it you back.

Have you tried checking the original registration number on DVLA?? He might of put it back on.
It looks from his/your pics that it has different size plates on now
Mine you it does say on SC it's been off the road for x months.
Best of luck mate

What a ***, I fully understand why you would be annoyed. Although the plate was £250 (which is still a lot of money) you cant put a price on the sentimental value.
I hope you get it resolved in one way or another.
Keep us all updated, I would like to see a post from you soon saying you got it back.
Good luck!

Good luck pal... It's sad when you cannot have a gentleman's agreement over stuff like this without someone taking advantage.
I bought my Discovery 3 with a private plate (not included, but still reg'd when I took delivery).. plate value was £16-20k... Did look good for the 2 weeks I had it on my motor... until we signed the forms and I got a boring one issued.

he visited the site today, and has probably been warned off about this thread.
but will- ramboscooby, if you visit this thread and happen to read this...... all i want is my plate back, im not into doing things the hard way or the nasty way. i just want it back.
its no relevance to yourself, only cost £250 quid, and wont increase the cars value.
please just return my plate.
