Registered person confirmation. You can confirm whether someone is the registered person online, you’ll need the vehicle's number plate, the name and date of birth of the person or their driver licence number. There is no charge for this service and a result is returned immediately. I just want to know if a certain car was moved off my name as I sold it in. A quick search to see what vehicles is under my name and what fines.
Just found out someone has registered a vehicle under my name using my drivers license.
I've stumbled upon something quite interesting these past couple days that has caught me completely off guard. I am not sure how to proceed from this point forward, so I've turned to you guys for some advice.
To start out, I live in British Columbia, Canada.
Saturday I received two pieces of mail from my landlord, one from a bridge tolling company (Treo) stating that I owed $5.75 for a toll on Dec. 6th, and one from ICBC (Insurance Corporation of British Columbia) for renewal reminder for auto insurance. I opened up the letter from Treo and it stated I owed $5.75 to a license plate that I didn't recognize. Thinking this was some clerical error, I called to have the charge removed. After talking with the representative, they confirmed that this license plate was registered under my name with ICBC, and they would not be able to remove the charge. I open up the renewal reminder from ICBC. It says that in the middle of February, I am to renew the insurance on a Mazda. The plate number between the two letters correspond with each other.
I call the police to make a report and they send an officer quite quickly to my house to gather a statement and start an investigation. I call ICBC to confirm that this unknown plate is registered using my information and my home address, and they say everything is in my name. The RCMP confirm this information with a separate call. The constable takes a statement from me, photographs my signature and takes pictures of the two documents and assigns me a case number.
Today the police have followed up with me. They tried two leads that had popped up on the vehicle, both being dead ends. It being the weekend, I have been unable to contact equifax, transunion, or ICBC to have this issue rectified. I will contact them first thing in the morning on Monday
I am scared shitless that this guy is going to crash this car, have some crazy claim, and I am going to be stuck paying the bill. Also, I don't know how he got my information. I've never registered my DL number to this address (it still had my parents address on it) and not knowing how the fraud world works, how he was able to insure or buy this car under my name.
What do I do from this point out? Any advice would be great.
EDIT: I should add, I've never owned this car in the past, never owned this plate number, or allowed anyone to use my information to insure a vehicle.

If you buy the car can it be registered in someone elses name?
No. Whoever's name is on the title is going to be on the registration and insurance also. You can pay for the car and title it in somebody elses name, but at that point you've given them a free car, because you have no legal rights to the vehicle at all. Read More

What do i do if i bought a car with no title and i do not know who the last person was to register it was?
I would have the DMV run the VIN and make sure the car wasn't stolen and isn't currently registered in someone elses name. Then you can apply for a salvage or lost title but I'm sure the DMV will advise to the best of your interest. Read More
If a car is stolen and you have insurance but the vehicle is in someone elses name will it be covered?
Theft is not the same as accidents. If you drive a car, whether it is in your name or someone else's name, and you have an accident, then your own insurance is applicable, but if someone else's car is stolen, that doesn't seem to involve you. Presumably you were not in the car when it was stolen, right? What involvement do you have? Read More

How long do you have to get insurance from the day you first get your license?
You don't need to get insurance just because you got your license; it's not directly connected like that. If you have a valid license, and don't own a car, you could drive someone elses car that is insured by them. BUT you do need insurance to register a car and be legal. You would want insurance the day you buy and register a car. Read More

If the title to a car is in your name but the name for the car loan is in someone elses name who has legal ownership?
If only your name is on the title and the loan is not listed as a lien on that title then you are the legal owner. If someone else obtained a car loan for you then their name should be on the title to the car with yours. The question of ownership should be addressed if someone was kind enough to borrow money for you to have a car. The car should have full insurance… Read More
Responsibilites if you register someone elses car in your name?
Don't do it. You should never register another person's car in your name. Think about it. The only reason would be they are unable to register it in their own name because they have established a poor record for some or many reasons. If the car is in your name you are completely open to legal liability and you will be giving them a green light to destroy your own driving record. Read More
