Trying to avoid the debt collectors yeah?

 

I'm not sure, have a Google. I would be surprised if a child could acquire assets like that though.

No. Its nothing like that. To be honest I was expecting a bit of suspicion but it is for perfectly honest reasons.

A child cannot sign a legal document, this includes a V5C. So no.

Having said that the DVLA will not check the age of the applicant, so it is possible to register. However this is purely at your own risk!

Why would you want it in a 12 year old's name then?

 

What were they going to do with it?

I was given a P6 rover , when I was 14 but I wasn't signed over officially until I was 17 and had passed my test .

I think if a child wanted to own a vehicle it could be held in trust like other investments.

Could you set up a offshore account where they have different laws ;)
