How do I trace a car owner
25 Answers
Someone damaged my car. He offered to pay �50 then disappeared from the scene. I got the registration number. Is there a way of tracing the name of the car owner so I can seek payment for damage? I don't want to claim via insurance as the excess means it's not worth it.

you can ring the police and ask questions. or you can trace the regetration on the internet..
in my view �50 isnt enough to pay for any damage in a car.. umm i would find the bloke and make him pay up becuase if you need paint welding and other equipment some garages rip you off.. i would go 4 the easy option of just announcing the problem to the police they could help you with tracing the problem starter..hope this could help.. xnicolax

for a start the vehicle driven by the other party, maybe regsitered in a "false name " .... the police unless TRAFFIC DIVISION get involved, will only use a minimal amount of "resources"/time,,,, to enquire about the ownership...... - maybe your insurance company could , see through the insurance database - whether the vehicle belonging to the other party , is ON the ini=surance DATABASE , if it is - then the driver of that vehile , maybe the policyholder and effectively insured , so his insurers , may or may not liase with your insurers...its a lot of "if , buts , or maybe " here , the DVLA are not obliged to tell you as a private enquirer , who the other vehicle is insured to , - did the UNKNOWN MOTORIST , drive into the back of you..... i mean is it "straight foward liability" .... the accident details , were not outlined , on this Q...... dont expect a great deal of assistance from thee POlice - in future accidents , asap report it it person to closest Police station, even if no one is injured as a citizen , the POLICE should not fob you of ..by saying " report it only with the insurers "..... at time of accident "tell aany other party involved in accident" YOU INTEND TO REPORT IT TO THE POLICE ...and see what there reaction is ......... regards
It happened in a car park. His son flung open the car door and it made a small but visible dint in my door and knocked off some paint. Probably cost me about �100 to make it look better, but I have an excess of �150 so may not be worth claiming unless I can trace his insurer and my excess can be recovered. And he'll probably deny it now. Didn't think the police would be interested in such damage- I'm sure they'll just tell me to go to my insurer.
CAR PARK..... the damage was caused in a car park you now say..... even insurers can say they are not liable , because a "car park" , can be deemed as a place which isnt , a " PUBLIC HIGHWAY " ..like its on private property ( grey area again )..... you insurer maybe able to trace whether the other car is on the insurance database " yawn yawn.....
ETHEL said that on occassions, where, she had been denied access to her land,... she got ownership of car details from DVLA �3-50 per enquiry...someone blocked the entance to my EMployers premises..... i didnt contact the DVLA....
