Was it road tax you applied for Alan or the previous owners?

[alancdavis]

Road Tax was applied and done on the DVLA site by myself

Normally you cant tax cars if not insured

I taxed it and then it went into the bodyshop for a few bits so to be safe got laid up insurance as a temp measure till it came out of the shop

Maybe I am misunderstanding the rules

You need to declare SORN if you are not going to tax it
My Car was taxed and registerd as taxed with the DVLA

Car has laid up insurance so techncally it is insured

Car was locked up in a garage so why do I need to have road insurance

Can find anything in DVLA rules that tells me I have not complied with the rules

insured yes, insured for the road no so doesnt get submitted to the Motor insurance data base (MID) so it will get flagged up but the DVLA as being taxed without insurance.
The first letter is just a warning, if you are actually getting a fine then you have ignored the first letter.
Either SORN it or get road insurance

[alancdavis]

That was the first letter and it said to pay by a date or be taken to court I have sorned it now so see what they say

[alancdavis]

Result

With regard to this issuse I have continued to seek a fair result and finally the DVLA have admitted they were wrong and refunded my fine .

DVLA tell me that they do not always update there records in good time to run an efficent system

There is a serious problem with there own interdepartmental communications

They now intend to full review of working practices

They have issued me with an unreseved apoligy for the very poor service they provided and the unfounded excuses they came up with


Guess I will call that a good result ,,

Modern Technology

You have suffered "Trial By Computor" An easy day light robbery without the lazy arses having to even catch you on the road, proper criminal (NOT).

Police don't have the time to put drivers over anymore, too busy looking for "Coffee Time crime" between 10.30am am 11.30am on their silly voting time push bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Drinks are on Alan!

[alancdavis]

Whats is sickening is how many others have beed robbed and dident contest the issue.

My Guess

Millions would be my guess. Easy tax collection delivered by post, what could be simpler, now cough up and look happy

Alan 1 - DVLA 0

Im sure they will equalise sooner or later

[alancdavis]

This now explains a lot of issues where the DVLA put the onus on any person in there fireing line by saying you ignored the letters we sent to you

Cold hard fact is that due to there own failings they are sending letters out to the wrong people

Good result there Alan.
