Hi,
Firstly any help greatly appreciated!
Bit of a long story so ill try keep it simple.
I received a Requisition Order from the DVLA informing they may be taking me to court,
had a form to fill in stating how i would plead.
I picked not guilty and
sent them a letter back stating i had sent the logbook off once i had sold it
and my responsibility ends as soon as I relinquished control of delivery to royal mail.
Section 07 of the Interpretations Act 1978
(taken from posts seen on here)
I heard nothing at all until 14/11/2013 when
i got a notice of fine and collection order,
the dvla had taken me to court and i had no idea!
obviously i have been found guilty as i was not there!
I sent an appeal letter to the court and told them i was not aware there was a court date/ajournment notice.
This was rejected.
i have today received a letter from Marston which informs me they will be making a visit to my home in 7 days time.
Ideally i would just like the case reopened so i have a chance to defend my self,
after a lot of searching
I'm guessing my appeal to the court got rejected because all i did was send them a letter saying i had no idea.
What i should of done was get a Statutory Notice done in front of a solicitor.
Is there any chance i could get the case reopened?
I'm guessing no as it has been so long
What can Marston actually do??
This is a rented house so they can't actually break in?
as the house is to owned by me?
If worse comes to worse could i just contact the magistrates court and pay the original fine?
I'm just so unsure of the best action to take,
if needed i can attach all letters sent and received
