Wanting to swap over plates from my outgoing D2 to the RRS...... Filled in relevant paperwork and the V62 since I don't yet have the V5!!!! They've only gone and sent it all back today saying I need to fill in V62!!!!! Grrrrrr look at the back of the pack of paperwork and its there....... Fookin idiots!!!!

Rant over

I've heard transferring directly from one car to another is very problematic at the moment, the very reason I recently decided to put a plate on retention rather than transfer car to car.

In contrast to this I sent my docs recorded delivery to the DVLA on Monday this week. This morning I received a new V5 and the retention notice for the plate

Hope you get it sorted swiftly. ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Had exactly the same issue with a car I bought in June!

Guy wanted to swap his plate onto his new car, took DVLA 5 attempts to swap the numbers over. Eventually got it sorted mid-September

Dealer tends to do the switch after the cars bought and new v5 issued for that reason.

It's got really hard for a while apparently Mike

Yes at least 1 month before the plates on...depends on all the forms. I cant recall how they have done it, but they handle it for me so i dont have to. See if its the same this time. Mike

I am in the same situation, in the end I opted to go down the retention route while waiting for the V5 to come back in my name. Been waiting two months so far......still nothing!

That's shocking , as I say, mine was done in 4 days .....I'd be chasing them like mad  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

They are making a point - you used to go to your local DVLA office and within a week all done but the Gov't is closing them to save money so this is their protest/payback
