Garage not returning old plates
Garage not returning old plates
I put a new registration on my car few weeks back and had a local dealer supply and fit the plates.
When I came to collect the car I enquired where the old plates were and was told that they had been scrapped. When I questioned why they had done this I was told that it was a requirement of the law?
Is this true I’ve never heard of it before and always been given my old plates?

That sounds like complete bull. I've got my old plates.

That’s what I thought and tried doing a search online and couldn’t find anything.

This site says the direct opposite of your dealer:

When people tell me "the rules say" then I ask to see the rules. If they can't show me them then they look like fools and have to capitulate. I have had a lot of success with this method. I have also had to eat humble pie on more than one occasion, but I like things to be clear.Since the original marks may be re-assigned to the vehicle following a re-transfer of your new registration plate in the future, it would be a good idea to hold onto the original plastic number plates regardless of whether you want to retain the original mark.

Oh great - so when you come to sell the car, you've got to go through the faff of making up and purchasing another set of the original plates? Ball achertd wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 10:07 amI put a new registration on my car few weeks back and had a local dealer supply and fit the plates.
