some say yes and others say no I remember back in the day there was an old 3.0 csi shark nose bmw that I liked in Barnes sw london, car sat for ages and never seemed to move, I wanted to buy it so contacted barnes old bill, they told me to contact dvla about it as they would not give out registered owners details.

I never contacted dvla but shortly after I spoke with the plod car disappered never to be seen again, well by me any way

i trick ive used in the past is to go into a police station pretending your thinking of buying said car but your suspiscious of the owner. tell them the reg and a made up name and adress and 9 times out of 10 the desk monkey comes back and says "no that doesnt match our records, we have it down as owned by ...... from......"

Alps Pacino

might give that a whirl tbh as it sounds a good idea in theory

if you apply to the dvla and they think you have a legit reason for wanting them they will give it out.. the best way is to go to the police station and give them your details and ask them to contact the owner for you, that sometimes works. although in repo we have access to the dvla but only for cars we are looking for..

Pretty sure the data protection act says that yes you can find out, as long as you have reasonable grounds to know the info. Thats how clampers etc can get your details.

wanting to find out where someone lives to kick the fuck out of them cos they cut you up, probably isn't a good enough reason though, if thats what's happened

Why do you want to know?

i didnt know this,that great if your some thieving pikey whos spotted a nice cossy on the road,dvla should ring you or write to you 1st imo.

I would think it very unlikely that a member of the public could find this info out. If it was that easy anybody that wanted to know for the wrong reasons (see kosmans example above) would do it.

Basically i bought some wheels which turned up in lets say less than described condition, he thinks its fair to refund half the cost of a refurb and me to stump up the other half which i should be needing to spend.

Basically i want to deliver his wheels back to him nicely and politly via his car windscreen and front window

You know he is a member on here don't you?

iv tried that in the past, when i was buying an old xr3i that i thought was a bit dodgy as it had no keys or logbook!! lol

the police just said sorry they cant give me any information, and advised if im unsure then dont buy it!!

anyway i bought it and sent off for the logbook and it all turned out ok

Alps Pacino

I honnestly dont care mate. He has been nothing but awkward and basically offered me half the money for a refurb or nothing take it or leave it, which just doesnt cut it considering how much paid for them and the poor condition of them which wasnt as they were sold to me.

Paulo P

The money you paid was very stong in my opinion and if I paid that I wouldn't have expected wheels in that condition but he may see what you are up to that's all.

I know he is from Reading direction and I think Matt Baxter bought his Azevs off of him.

atm

well if he sent them recorded delivery or via courier then the senders address is on the box ??

Alps Pacino

Its ok lads i found his address via the internet lol, Its amazing what you can find out about someone over the net.

Ps no i aint taking the piss i really do have it via google lol

If you can show "just cause", ie a genuine reason the plod have a legal obligation under the data protection act to disclose that to you, and they CANNOT charge you for it.
Ask to speak to the data controller, as most plod don't the dp act at all, the data controller does 100% though.
If for a non genuine reason there is a way, most people have a credit or debit card so they can't hide very well!!
