OK so i got a letter from them on the 18th October for a car i sold at the start of febuary this year.
i sent the V5 and copy of the receipt the day the car was sold, as the car was sold before 9am i knew it would go in the post that day etc
i never thought twice about it and considered it a done deal sign sealed delivered etc no proof of posting was taken now. then out the blue i get this letter, it said that if i didn't reply within 14days they would issue a V5 to the new keeper. admittedly i didn't really read the rest of the letter as i just figured they were notifying me that if i didn't respond they would sign it over to the new keeper the way i thought it had been done when i sent the paperwork off lol
so i get a letter today with a fine on it for not notifying them back in feb that i sold the car. i have now read the letter i got in October whilst it mentions failure to notify them can result in a fine it doesn't state failure to respond to this letter will result in a fine
Where do you think i stand i can scan the 2 letters if people wanna have a read etc but im sure many of us have been played with by the dvla over the years lol
