fraud

[desparate]

My husband and I have separated 6 months ago and I have tied to stay amicable, he doesn't want divorce or sell the house. He has been living with someone else and lying to me. we agreed that I would maintain the house and sort teenage daughter out and he would maintain the cars, as all insurance goes through his dad's buisiness. The MOT was required in dec. there is so much wrong with the car he has had it back so many times.; electronic failure (ongoing problem)no speedo working, even though I drive through a city centre every day. When he had it MOTed through his company he brought it back with seat belt not working, nearly bald tyres(even though he told me he had put 4 new ones on) and told me he had now signed it over to me as registered owner. The car is a joint assett at the moment but he is in his name as the owner. On advice I took it to local garage who said needs tracking , seat beat and a lot of work on it the car. costing a fortune. I was advised to contact DVLA as it's an offence to knowingly drive an unroad worthy vehichle & send the log book back . He also must have forged my signature as I got the log book back in my name and haven't signed or agreed anything. Help!! where do I go now as he is furious and things are turning nasty. -- has he committed a criminal offence forging my signature and do you need one to return the log book

You have put this under the "travel" section which is really for holiday type travel.

May be better under Law or Motoring (or both)

OK answered my question , that I already knew. I've been clutching at straws to find a sensible solution and the only way now is ts to spend thousands on solitors

If the car was showing your husband as the registered keeper, I do not believe that he committed any offence by transferring ownership to you by sending the V5 back to DVLC. It does not need your signature to do that - only his.
I don't know what you mean by a joint asset - that doesn't mean anything in DVLC terms.
I don't say why he was obliged to sort out the vehicle unless you had an agreement to that effect as part of the split up.
The question would probably be better placed in legal since you were asking a legal question - then again you seem to feel that you have an answer to your question - your own - worthy of a single star.

[desparate]

whats a single star

[ummmm]

You must have rated your own answer.

[desparate]

sorry never used this web site before Re: the single star. It was agreed as an informal arrangement that I would maintain the house and he would maintain the cars ( they are insured and maintained through the company ) so it's not out of his personal money that he pays for the upkeep

It sounds like you need legal advice. The citizens advice bureaux usually have a time when you can get some free advice. For the long term you will have to pay, but may be able to get legal aid. You may get some help in the law section here, but answerbank is not probably going to be able to sort out all your issues.
