How can I get the V5 for my Suzuki Swift Sport which I bought new?
I ordered a brand new Suzuki Swift Sport in February this year, taking advantage of the car scrappage scheme. At delivery date, I made my way to the dealer and very happily signed all appropriate documents, and then paid for the vehicle. At this point I was told that there had been a problem during the vehicle registration procedure and that my vehicle details had been designated to a different registration (a 1.3 Swift) and the 1.3 Swift details designated to my registration. The sales person told me it wasn't a problem, that Suzuki GB and the DVLA had been informed, it was being sorted and I would receive a new V5 in the post. Unfortunately, four months on and after numerous phone calls to the dealer, I still don't have a V5 document. The road tax runs out in August and I don't see how I could possibly re-tax an unregistered vehicle. I would really appreciate any advice you could pass on to me.

The dealer has let you down and the DVLA too. You have to get onto the DVLA and sort it out yourself.
