Sold a car and log book got lost in post

Orlak2410

So I sold a car 6 weeks ago and the logbook never went to the buyer. Shannon said it must have been lost and advised that all I can do is order a replacement and do the change of ownership again. Can I get in trouble if the new owner is caught driving with no tax or does anything else with the car? I know toll charges and speed van fines will come straight to my door but I would appeal those if I had to but I'm more concerned with accidents etc.

When you get the replacement book you can put the original sale date on the replacement log book when sending back to Shannon. Do this as soon as possible.

When I'm buying or selling privately I always take a photo of the completed logbook prior to putting it in the post, good to keep as a record.

I thought you said in your last thread that you gave it to the buyer?

Ok then, you seem to be having terrible luck with changing ownership.

If you have a genuine problem with what I post then use the report button. Nobody forcing you to read them.

I presume you and the buyer filled in and signed the back of the old cert and then you posted it to Shannon where a new cert would be processed and sent to the new owner. ?

Stop posting nonsense one-liners. Do not reply to this post.

Get a replacement logbook. Fill it out again with the original date of sale. You may get some Eflow fines etc in the time being but once the change of ownership goes through all of these will be cancelled. Job done
