Nasty letter from DVLA ...help

(1/3) > >>

Ja1983:
in the post this morning (saturday) i had a letter from the DVLA... i opened it to find the following:

"Failure to notify of disposal  of vehicle: H*** obo (my old pickup)

i have received information  which indicates that you were no longer the keeper of the above vehicle on 02/08/2007. you do not appear to have notified us of the disposal of this vehicle and should be advised that this is an offence

we now request that you take action on either A or B below.

A) if you were the person responsible for this offence, you can avoid court action  by paying an out of court settlement.  The amount is £55 to be received at this office by 24/11/2007. however if payment is received by 17/11/2007 this amount will be reduced to £35 etc...

B) If you are not responsible for this offence, you are required by law to give information about who was using or keeping the vehicle at the time of the alleged offence. please complete the statement overleaf and return thisd notice to the above address by 24/11/2007. failure to provide this information is an offence..."


i sent the completed form off to the DVLA the day after i sold it, and i dont have the new keepers details as thats what gets put on the form that you send off..

the first part of the the letter says they have received information that i was no longer the keeper on 02/08....


any suggestions what t o do now, as i will be giving them a phonecall monday morning when the offices are open...

thanks

If you DID notify them, then section B applies - you need to notify them of the new owner, but given you don't know who it is, can you put on the form that you don't have an address for them?

Didn't the V5 have a bit you tear off and keep?  I can't remember what goes on that bit...

karlo:
Write back and tell them you sent the form via royal mail the following day (date).

After the hassle I had a while back (6 speeding tickets in a car I hadn't owned for 9 months) I photocopy the logbook before I send it to the DVLA, you should get a letter back from the DVLA after a couple of weeks saying you are no longer the keeper, even though I had this letter the DVLA informed the police I was the last registered keeper it appears that they are a law unto themselves, if all else fails write to your MP it worked for me

simdeb:
we had a similar thing with sorn ended up paying the fine but because we disputed it we had to pay the largest amount????

when we send anything that we think is very important through the post office we ask for poof of posting its free and it sort of covers you
