Hi,

 

Have you ever done a SORN or recently sold or scrapped a vehicle?

Or forgot to do a SORN or notify the DVLA that you have sold or scrapped a vehicle?

 

The reason I ask the above is that Advantis have been appointed the DCA for collecting DVLA fines for failure to SORN etc.

 

The Advantis press release is here... http://www.advantiscredit.com/latestNewsDetails14.aspx

 

It is not your job to notify Advantis of your personal details, do not ring them and if they ring say "in writing only" and hang up, never go through their stupid DPA questions.

 

Eventually, Advantis will write with a proper letter, when you receive this, please update the thread.

what will the letter contain then?

Presumably they will tell you why they want to update their records and what the "business" matter is ??

and the only person EVER to pay is the DVLA IF IF IF you owe this

 

never ever pay a DCA on a DVLA 'debt'

 

they have NO LEGAL POWERS in this instance.
