Oh, dear looks like NCP have issued this ! What are the chances of being taken to court on this one???

Day 1 of getting a ticket. Each time I recieve a warning letter to pay I wil post here.

Hi everyone. Just a quick update: The DVLA has sent me a letter advising that it will be changing, and updating its forms and implementing new procedures. Wonder why that is. I am hoping to have some good news about the DVLA for you some time in 2011, maybe sooner. Until then, have a great Christmas & New Year.

UPDATE: 13/07/10 Just to keep you boys and girls up to date. Had a long meeting on Saturday with the MP. PHSO form is now being investigated. Keep watching this space We have 260 complaints now. please make your complaint known here All complaints are being kept on this page.

Hi Watchdog is being used as a holding pen for complaints only. MP's are involved. Thanks for the advice anyway..

Hi everyone: As promissed, My story has not only gone in one publication, it has to my surprise gone into 2 newspapers. I have attached the online edition for you to have a read. West Sussex News This Is Sussex Please can i ask you all to keep posting your complaints about the DVLA: Send Your DVLA Complaints Here I have a lot of work to do. please can I ask you to keep posting your complaints.

As soon as this is confirmed I will send a link. My PHSO form has gone off. Next stage is I have a few meetings. If you want to complain about the DVLA, could I ask you to post your DVLA complaint here please:

Hi UPDATE: Its been an interesting morning, on my mission to expose the DVLA for fining people unlawfully. I am now getting feedback from news papers. My story will be published next week. I will in due course provide you the link and details nearer the time. It does not stop at just one paper, we are talking many. All that I ask, that you post your official DVLA complaints on the Watchdog Site. Its easy to control and easy to read. There is a route we are taking and we are clear what we want to achieve. Cheers

Please ask your friends, people that you work with, to post their complaints. PHSO DVLA Complaint Form.pdf

Rudy691 Ask your self this question! Did you send your V5 off to the DVLA as requested by law? If you did, then how can you be guilty. The DVLA are nothing to worry about, they are like Rogue Clampers. You need to make sure you are clear 100% in your head dates/times when you sent of the form.

Rudy691 relax mate: read this and do the last bit To take the legal arguments a step further: 1. The Universal Postal Union (of which Britain is a signatory) makes it clear that, in the UK, post becomes the property of the recipient at the moment it is committed to the Royal Mail. 2. The Interpretation Act 1997 s7 makes it clear that a document sent by first-class post is deemed served. If the sender has proof of posting (or a witness), the DVLA's letter of acknowledgement is a mere distraction. if you got no proof of sending the V5, you can swear an affidavit that the V5 was completed and posted. Of the cases that have been challenged as above, I'm not aware of any the DVLA has taken as far as a magistrates' court.

Hi Rudy Just need you to provide me with solid dates please. Its very important that you know your times, dates and facts. Courts need to make sure you are sure. You hesitate you lose.. On Friday August 21st 2009 you sold your car - is this correct? On Sunday August 23rd you sent your V5 off - is that correct? On Friday August 7th you moved out of your house - is that correct? So, it seems the new keeper informed the DVLA that he/she is now the new owner from September 1st 2009, however according to the DVLA you was still showing registered to this vehicle because they did not get your V5 - you are charged on 01/09/09 from when the new keeper took over - make sense? Had the DVLA not lost or misplaced your V5 the DVLA would of been notified, however by all counts you are being charged 1 week after you have sold your car. The DVLA is making an allegation that you did not send your V5 form as required by law. A few things are telling me to challenge this: (1) It is common knowledge it can take up to 3 weeks before records are updated at the DVLA . (2) To be summoned after only 1 week after you sent your V5 is not reasonable. (3) Interpretations Act & Post Office Act. look for a heading called References to service by post. You need to understand this law word by word. This will be you gun. (4) You need to prove that the DVLA lose and misplace Mail. I have a Freedom of Information Request confirming they lose Mail. If you need it PM me. (5) Believe in your self. The DVLA are a bunch of idiots. Remember the DVLA is a private company like a Rogue DCA, the only difference is that they are an Agency working for the goverment. .......................................................................................................................................................................................... I took on the DVLA and WON - Read my story as told by Watchdog on 27th May 2010 - Please post your DVLA complaints on this page aswell.

Hi Don’t feel intimidated by the DVLA, it is well known that their system is falling down and does not work. If you sent the V5 and you follow the advice you will win. When you do win make sure you post your claim number Need to ask you some questions: What date did you sell your car? what date did you send of your V5? what date did you move to new house? You dont need proof of posting! I Have a freedom of Information Request I made to the DVLA trying to find out if they lose mail. DVLA confirmed that items do go missing. I am happy to send this to you for your defence. I am sure members on here will provide you with info. If you make contact with bankchaser35they may be willing to provide you with their claim number. bankchaser won because they basically the Magistrate just asked the person to swear that they posted the document. Remember, as stated on my case, Claim No: 9BR0829 Horsham Court, there is no statuary requirement for you to chase or phone the DVLA if you do not receive an acknowledgement letter. Make sure you have a copy of the The Interpretation Act 1978 Act states Make sure you have a copy of the The post Office Act states “if something is correctly addressed and pre-paid correctly (stamped) then it is deemed to have been delivered 2 days later (5 days for second class" ............................................................................................................................ I take on the DVLA and WIN. Watch my story here. If you ever send documents to the DVLA, there is a good chance they will lose them.

FOI (Freedom of information request) are a great tool. I have sent over to many to mention. This is costing them money. More then £80 for my illegal SORN fine. Remember every time to write to them include links that shows they have messed up. Dont just send it to one department send it to many. Send it BCC to individual email addresses to staff, staff will just want to click on the links to have a look. Human Nature. Yes its a game we are starting to win. Your post did make me laugh! Remember they are not the government, they are a private company working as an agency. .................................................................................................. Please post your DVLA complaints here

Avante, you have to laugh! Ok UPDATE everyone Things are still happening. However I need you to post your complaints here please on the official Watchdog Programme. It's evidence for later on. I have been going through paper by paper to get them to write about the DVLA. It looks good. Reasom why its taking a long time, the papers are waiting for a response from the DVLA before they can publish anything. This is what we are requesting the DVLA implement to make the SORN fairer: Official Complaint Process – must be independent Official Appeals Process - must be independent All refused Appeal letters to be referred and allowed to be heard by the ICA and only the ICA to decide what course of action should be needed, not the Chief Executive. – must be independent Any documentation that is sent by the DVLA which requires the recipient to respond via letter should be sent recorded post by the DVLA and a prepaid recorded envelope paid by the DVLA should be used to send back any documentation. This will stop people getting fined because the DVLA has either lost it or has got lost in the mail To hold the DVLA more accountable. When the DVLA makes mistakes over and over again, a fine should be implemented to stop this happening. And the power to sack CEO. Please post your DVLA complaints here
