Report it to the DVLA as an untaxed vehicle. The police will take an age to find the time to take a look at it. The DVLA will have the owner details. Tell them the reg. no. and where it is parked.

You need to inform your local council or police. They will come and put a notice on the car saying that if it is not removed it will be removed and taken to the scrap yard. They will give it about a week and then they will remove it on a lorry. Hope this helps


JJ
Inform the police who can then run a check to see if it has been stolen and hopefully return it to its rightful owner. Otherwise they can put a notice on it and arrange for it to be towed.

Public property tell the police. Private property tell the property owner.

You can report it to the police, they will inform the council, who will put a sticker on it warning the owner that it is to be removed and scrapped.

Call the DVLA. I had this problem. There is an option on the phone for reporting suspicious and untaxed vehicles.

If it took you 3 weeks to ask this question or do anything about it why are you concerned about now?

call the authorities, have it towed

If you're in an apartment/condo, and the spot is yours, call your building management and have the guy towed for parking in the parking spot assigned to you.

Your Local Authority will deal with it if you report it as abandoned. Police can also help.


Mark J
Call the local council or the police to have it removed assuming it is on a public road.

If it is on private property then you will have to bear the cost.

You can phone the council they'll take it away straight away, they use to put a sticker on saying they'll remove it within 14 days if the owner doesn't but it's all changed now, they will take it that day. Have you asked the neighbours? I'd ask just incase someone just brought the car with no tax & they are just about to get tax for it, especially if it's not on the road & on private land (private parking) as some people still think it's ok not to have tax if it's off the road,
The council have powers to get the car crushed & you might upset a neighbour??: ) Good Luck!

When you say untaxed, I am assuming that you mean it has no tags. If that is the case, you can do two different things. If you live on a county/state maintained road, then you need to let the county/state police know and they will likely tow it within 24 hours. If you live in a community that has a community association, you need to let your community association/management company know. They will consult your bylaws and determine if it can be towed (it proabably can). They they will put a two notice on the car and take care of it for you.

Call police.
