Scrapped bike and DVLA..

[st3v3]

OK, after the thread (DVLA AT THEIR FINEST) I decided to write in to DVLA, and politely complain that I scrapped my moped about 2 years ago, but started getting fine letters a little while ago, which I stupidly ignored, til I got the 'last chance before court' type one, so called 'em, wouldn't help without ref number from letter, or put me through to right department, and when I got home I called the number on letter(0870 ) and the Lass on the other end simply gave me an address to send a letter into, so I got typing and sent it off start of week, how long will it take for a reply if I get one?

Is there anyone else with this type of problem, will post letter on Monday as it's stored on work P.C.

Go to a DVLA local office and speak face to face with them. They can then point you in the right direction, give you the appropriate forms as well as check their computers for any problems.

You did fill in and send off the appropriate bit of the V5 didn't you?
And of course you kept the confirmation letter.
If so you are home and dry.

I sent the v5 off, with the scapped box ticked, but on 1st class, never heard owt back..

Not hearing anything back is bad news.
What kind of fines are coming through?
You did actually break the bike up didn't you?

[st3v3]

Oh sorry, got a letter today, saying they received my letter I sent last week, and wanted me to give them details about when i sent logbook back to them, I said to bint on phone the facts were in the letter, and she said if I send another one, these points will be taken into consideration, but also said it says on the bottom of the v5 that unless you receive confirmation letters within 4 weeks, they have not received/acknowledged the whole thing, I said i wasn't paying a fine which i don't believe I incurred, and i can't go to swansea to defend myself in court, but they aren't winning this easily, so I'm posting another letter off tomorrow, after I decide how to express my gratitude for the lack of time and effort with it. if wanted I will post letters..cnuts

Seems like you've been a bit unlucky then.
My advice would be to try and stay polite. People will often look more favourably on you if you don't start ranting. Diffcult I know.
Good luck

I just sent off my V5 with the Scapped box ticked, hopefully I don't have the problems you do..

The thing I thought about, after I'd posted it. Is what if I come to sell my frame? The DVLA will think it's been scrapped...or can the new owner register the frame number?

Or is it unsellable, or only allowed for track use?

[Vin]

I don't think the frame would be unsellable. As far as I am aware it is possible to re-register vehicles but I am not sure how. These are the sort of questions I'd phone and ask the DVLA about.

[st3v3]

AFAIK you can re-register a bike(inc frame) after it is declared scrapped/total loss, you need to go down the post office, and have a look at the forms there..

UPDATE:

Ok, after a couple of letters from one lady asking to be informed of the person/address I scrapped it to(and a couple back), I am going to reply I had given it to my brother(well, I actually swapped him for another bike) who then broke it and I sent the logbook back, but I am also going to mention I still have one or two fairings lying around, and the reg plate.

What can the consequences of this be legally nowadays?(still having the reg plate)

Now I have been informed by the person dealing with me, that without an immediate response, it will proceed to court..

My thinking was, if I said I had the odd part left, it might make them realise I had scrapped it and sort of help prove my case, but maybe not..

Court in swansea, that would be a no then..(from york, only to be found guilty-no way. how could I get out of this situation in court ? )

It would be normal procedure for you as defendant to apply to have the court case heard at the nearest court to you.

If it goes that far your court pack will have all the info you need to do this.
