Not totally wrong there but the DVLA no not own every car in the UK, they own the registration number and keep the V5C as a register to see who is the keeper of the car. The finance company or whoever paid for the car owns it but may not be the registered keeper. HELL technically if you ever pay by paper or credit the bank technically owns whatever you paid for since its in someone else money. Paper money says on it promise to pay the bearer... technically its not real money its owed money held by a bank.
LEGALLY you technically can own a car but not be able to drive it.
So no the DVLA never own your car but only keep a register of it.
What having a birth certificate does is means who are the legal parent? not in a sense who actually is the natural parent. I mean you can be born but have no legal parents if you where never registered. They cannot ascertain who is a parent without a birth certificate. Its like even though you know you are the parent how the hell do they know that?
I dunno, you're getting too deep for me; I thought you're not the owner of the car, just the registered keeper. Remember we're talking Legalese, not English so words have verrrry different meanings.
The reason I'm slightly vague about all this is to promote people to ask a question and go and want to learn about it.
I certainly don't understand
all of it, I'm just relaying content from the youtube vids I've watched.
I got the info for the legalese meaning of the word owner from
here. There's a ton of people who are trying the Freeman stuff but the only person I proper listen to is John Harris, he seems like the only (upfront) one who is doing it properly, researching and learning, rather than just trying like everyone else is.
His descriptions of "owner"ship are much better worded than mine
You'd be best off listening to him.
