	Having a bit of a nightmare following the sale of my Van a few weeks ago. I basically sold it to someone and didn't get his address (I have his full name, DOB and Drivers licence number) I know, I'm an idiot!! It was a split second mistake. I contacted the DVLA immediately and they said its ok just write a covering letter with all the details you have and then they will sort it out and considering all the info I had I thought it would be ok. I also tried contacting this person who hasnt replied. Its been a few weeks and they havent sorted it out, called up a few times and no change. I've been away for a week and received a 2 PCNs for the Van. I'm going to call them again to see where its at but I'm just wondering what I can do, Is there anyway I can find out this persons address myself?? Please don't write anything like "you've F*** yourself etc" I know I have and its really stressing me out. I'm just wondering what I can do to take back control??

	I'd send another letter (recorded) explaining the situation and the dates involved, I'd also be tempted to call 101 and log it with them too, they will be able to trace the new owner via his licence number and make a log for any further offences post sale date.

	I did say they could trace him from his licence number not the VRM

	Seeing as it's a matter that takes more than ticking a box on a computer, it will take them a while. For example, my wife sent off her license to get her name changed. In August. Nothing back yet. Recorded delivery both ways, can't get through on the phone. Good luck!
