Someone cloned your plate or even entire V5 and sold a stolen bike.

I havn,t heard of this one before, the only person who would have the V5 details would be a previous owner. Unless the info is accessible from the MOT register now that is all handled on line.

It is possible to apply for 'lost' a V5 if you know a few details of a car/bike and the DVLA will issue a replacement one. Am guessing you've had your details stolen mate. ld contact DVLA and Police about it ASAP as (potentially) someone's riding round the country on a nicked bike showing your bikes VRM, chassis and engine numbers.

Sounds funny that they want you to send in your V5?

I would certainly only offer them a photocopy or scan.

Retain the original document as long as possible...Sounds fishy.

yeh im a bit reluctant to send it in as well, they are well none for loosing stuff. have already spoken to dvla will go and see police tomorrow. will let you know how this pans out.

Go to a lawyer who will charge you about £30 to send a verified copy of your documents to DVLA what ever you do ......do not send them the original
