Hi,
September last year, I returned my vehicle to the finance company under a voluntary termination. The following day, I filled out and posted the green slip from the V5 to dvla.
A couple of months later, I received a letter from them saying I owed £40 fine and outstanding road tax for not taxing the vehicle.
I wrote to them appealing, I sent a copy of the paperwork from the finance company showing the change of ownership, and I told them I'd sent the slip via 1st class post.
They refused the appeal, saying that I should have received a confirmation slip, and if I hadn't, it was up to me to get back in touch with them.
I've trawled forums and Google, but can't really find the info on how to proceed.
The trouble is, DVLA say that any further correspondence from me regarding this penalty will be placed on file without response, and I've tried discussing the issue on the phone but they refuse to cooperate.
I've now received a request for payment from a DCA.
Cheers
