SORN Fine Wrong Address

[bellcol]

Hi,

I declared my car SORN after failing MOT

but stupidly did not take to scrap yard immediately

and left parked on road outside front of house for several weeks.

 

 

I woke one morning to find the car had been clamped,

I phoned clampers who said I could pay removal Fee and surety of £260

or have the car removed and that would be it.

I was led to believe end of story.

 

 

I have now received a fine from DVLA for unlicensed vehicle,

an out of court settlement offer of £210.

 

 

The letter states my vehicle was SORN but seen on "john Smith " street which is actually 2 streets away and my vehicle has never moved an inch from outside my house.

 

 

I know I was lazy with taking car to scrap but could I get off from this further expense on the technicality of wrong address ?

 

 

Any advice much appreciated.

I doubt it

as you state t was on the public highway when sorn.

 

 

could simply be the logging system used [gps I suspect] of the clampers van playing up.

I would settle this out of court

Other wise it will become a big problem

 

The vehicle was on the highway and no tax just SORN in place

No way out of this
