Point of note...

In terms of the small claims court. In Scotland, if an organisation wants to take you to court we have Prorugation of Jurisdiction. Basically it means they have to do it in the place you reside.

If the DVLA wanted to levy that penalty on me, they'd have to take me to court and they'd have to do it in Edinburgh. The cost of doing that far outweighs any benefit.

If there is an english version of this law, its another way to get out of potential court action. Big organisations rely on peoples lack of knowledge then use it to bully us.

I'll try and find an English equivelent law...

Thumbs Up

Rang DVLA today and I have to put it in writing that I informed them of a keeper change. Wink


Further more you informed them in-line with section 7 Interpretations act 1978 and as the UK is a signatory to the Universal postal union act I would suggest you refer DVLA to Article 5.1 (PDF here) which suggests that as soon as you posted the 'change of keeper' letter it became there's.

There is nothing within UK legislation that suggests let alone requires you to await their confirmation letter. The only thing you are required to do is stamp, address and send the notification and as you have done so you have discharged your responsibility in this matter.

That document says it only becomes theirs once it is delivered. Confused
