The V5C of my new car is filled with someone else's details - how do I tax it?
I just bought a used car. I have the V5C/2 green slip but it is already filled with somebody else's name and address, plus it has an old reference number and I can't pay the tax online. How can I pay the tax for it? Must I wait for the V5C to come by post?

This tells you what to do at a post office: www.postoffice.co.uk/vehicle-tax-faqs/ As long as the car is insured and MoT'd you can tax it and use a form V62 to apply for a V5C registration document at the same time.
