Help/ideas sought to contact owner of personalised plate on retention

Post by Paul171278 » Wed Mar 28, 2018 10:33 am

Can anybody help me or give me some guidance as to how contact the owner of a private plate I am interested in purchasing.

The registration J6BHP.

The Regit website indicates it was assigned to a car in 2014 (https://www.regit.cars/car/j6bhp) but there is currently no listing for it; implying it is held on retention ...and perhaps the owner may be open to selling.

I have contacted the DVLA who are unable, due to data protection, to give me the owner’s details and are equally unable to pass my details to the registered owner.

Any help and guidance appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dodgy clamping and parking enforcement companies have no difficulty obtaining the registered address from the DVLA for a small fee!

Ian,

thanks for the response. I've already explored this option and because the plate is not assigned to a vehicle the DVLA, unfortunately, won't give me the details of the owner.
