To progress your VW emissions claim, we need you to provide us with evidence and information about your ownership of the vehicle. On this page, you will find a list of everything we need from you. We have also provided some guidance and templates to help you get this evidence if you do not have it to hand.
There are three kinds of documents we need you to send us – Primary, Secondary & Emissions Fix.
You can find a full list of these documents below. If you struggle to find any of these, we have provided some guidance on how you can get this information and give it to us.
You should send these to us using the secure link provided in the last communication we sent you. This link is personal to you and takes you directly to your case file meaning documents are saved securely.

Please check that you have provided ALL the relevant primary documents, as many of the secondary documents as possible, and the emissions fix documents where relevant. Without these documents your case will be much weaker and could fail.
KP Law can help you through the claim process.
If you are struggling to find any of the documents relating to your car, the ‘fix’, or the sale of your car, we need you to request copies from whoever originally produced them.
We recommend that you make your request via email as this is likely to be quicker than through the post. But, if you are not able to find a relevant contact email address, you can send a written letter or even go into the dealership if it is convenient to do so.
Use our handy templates below to request the information you need.
You will need to include your own details in the template in the areas indicated in bold. If you have moved house you will need to quote the address at the time you purchased the car as well as your current address.
