the cheque was cashed ages ago and i received no retention form
i have spoke to dvla and enquired about reg ,they said they carnt give me any details about plate because it wasent in my name ,i tried to explain to no avail

give me the reg and i can find out what car its on, if its not on a car then its DVLA, copper cant even check these days as its not as simple to do them and if it aint on a car then they cant find the owner

i find DVLA are cunts for helping out, i had a situation with them with my plate when the car was nicked, told me that i have to wait a year and i still might not get the plate back blah blah blah
when a year was up i told them i dont have the tax disc or MOT as it ran out after it was nicked also the car wasnt insured as i bought another car and was selling it and was told " sorry you cant do it then" but i ignored them and applied with a letter explaining why

then i got a call saying " all i need is a letter off your insurance saying they dont have any interest in the plate for there records to make it official",,, so i done that and got my plate back

just apply in writing explaining it, though dvla are cunts with plates

if you were not the nominee or the grantee you have just repaid the 25 pound yearly fee, the new certificate would of been sent back to the grantee on the cetificate you need to go see them, they need to send it off adding you as nominee, it will then get sent back to them again and they will then forward it to you

Did the same to me 8 years ago , had A1 8RAD on my calibra and put it on retention when i sold the car , missed my retention renewal date by 12 days and the dvla sold it ! good luck getting anything out of them , they really are the biggest bunch of government funded robbing cunts on the planet .
