DVLA SJP Summons - Vehicle License Voided not paid - i sold vehicle - dvla lost slip.

Hi Caggers

 

I do hope I've posted in the correct place for this question 

 

I've received a letter & being bombarded with text messages from Pastdue Credit Solutions (PDCS).  Don't know how they got my mobile number? 

 

They are demanding £80 payment ( on behalf of DVLA ) for vehicle tax for August 2022, BUT ....  I scrapped the car end of May 2022?! 

 

I have done all the correct process in sending off my section of the V5.  The person who took the car had the rest of the V5.  

 

However, I have NEVER received anything from the DVLA about this??

ignore.

 

plenty of threads here on them and dvla and these supposed £80 charges

 

a dca is not a bailiff

Hi dx100uk.  

 

I've not been able to find any threads?  Would you mind pointing me in the right direction? 

 

They are literally sending me text messages every day?  Should I write to DVLA & PDCS or neither??  How do I get them to stop?

Block their number on your mobile phone and report it to various resources such as Who Called Me as harassing.

Hi Caggers,

 

I've received a letter from DVLA about 20/01/22 saying I owe this money.  My wife called them.  She advised the obstinate advisor that she had the slip off.  The advisor just kept repeating they had not received the yellow slip to notify of the car being scrapped, so I still owe them for the tax?

 

In the meantime, I've been back to the company I scrapped it with.  Luckily, they were able to give me the V5 number & I set about recording the scrappage online. 

 

Now I have received a Legal Notice - Statutory Notice demanding payment of £180.67.

 

They say i only have 7 days to pay from the date on the back of the letter which is 02/02/23, but I didn't receive it until 04/02/23? 

 

Do I just pay this? 

[dx100uk]

who from?

 

scan it up please

[TheCat08]

Will get it scanned up.  It's the DVLA who are chasing for money now on the same vehicle for road tax.  

[dx100uk]

Vehicle was scrapped may 22? And v5c sent off around that time?

 

If so it's very well known DVLA lose lots of mail ...and it's more than 6mts ago .  Too late!!

 

Was the car taxed at that time and she didn't claim the remaining tax back and August was when it ran out?

[TheCat08]

Hi dx100. The tax was stopped when the vehicle was scrapped !!

Then it's outside 6mts.

 

Ignore them

[TheCat08]

Hi dx100

 

So what is the 6mths thing?  Is there some sort rule they have to follow.  I'm worried as don't want to be prosecuted for £1000 like the letter says!!!!!

Hi dx100

 

I've had a good read of the thread about the 6 months.  The Past Due Credit letters were stating the tax was for August 2022, which is within the 6 month rule, even though the car was scrapped in May 2022 & the payment for tax was stopped when this was done.  I think the issue is they are stating they never received the bloomin yellow slip that was sent? 

 

 What I am also confused about is Past Due Credit letters were asking for £80, but DVLA are asking for £180?

The £80 would be a claim for The Late Licensing Penalty, a supplement payable to the crown - dealt with by the debt collectors. The £180 is a claim from the DVLA for the arrears of the vehicle licence.

[dx100uk]

which all stems back to the DVLA losing mail.

the vehicle was scrapped may 2022, the slip was returned to the DVLA

they lost it!

the tax was also stopped at that time as the OP says

 

they are out of time on both counts. 

[TheCat08]

Thank you Montego & dx100.  I'm happy to let it run now.

MitM is your best bet for court stuff. If he's around, I imagine he'll turn up to answer today if he can.
