Maybe they both insured the same car (the one with the private plate).You can't insure two cars using the same numberplate. The insurance computer systems won't allow it......at least, I hope they wouldn't

Why not?
There is a delay in transfer on DVLA and the insurance company works off older info.
I recently transferred a plate and I made sure the renewal date and transfer date collided so I didn't need to pay any admin fees.
The insurance company said no car is registered to that plate and I said I just transferred it 5 mins ago and I had to manually input all the details.
So it can be done.
In fact I've even heard of multiple insurance policies for the same car. As in I take out insurance for the car. Then 3 months later someone wants to use it for say a few months so they get their own insurance and borrow it off me then give it back. That way I don't need to update my insurance company twice causing fees. And I don't need to pay for it either then get the cash off them.
I didn't understand : although the system maybe slow to catchup, it didn't say the plate was still associated with your previous car, such that you were effectively requesting a double use of the plate ? how ?The insurance company said no car is registered to that plate and I said I just transferred it 5 mins ago and I had to manually input all the details.
How? The plate was sold with the car. It's on the car. Where's the issue for the buyer?
We need to know IQ of said sister in order to assess the most likely position of screw up
Also need pics of said sister.

Forgot about this post, the situation is a mess really.
She only physically changed the plates, it sounds like the V5 has the private plate showing which hasn't had any bearing on the new owner as they don't actually have a licence yet so the car is now sat uninsured, she has however got in touch with the person she sold it to in order to try and solve the plate issue.
She lives 100 miles away so I don't speak to her all the time, I only found out about it as my mum rank me to ask me if they had done something they shouldn't have.
Obviously my response was something like "They have done what?"
There won't be any update on this really until an NIP arrives with all the wrong info I guess.
So it does sound like the sold car has the original plates back on it and the buyer wasn't concerned or hadn't spotted the details mismatch on the V5.
So in that case can't she now do the reg transfer, wait for the NIP to arrive, admit guilt and then pay/take the fine/points, notify her insurance company of the car/plate and then finally talk to the buyer re the V5 as when the reg transfer is done she'll get an updated one which she'll then need to pass onto the buyer?
