DVLA dropped the case against me

[andym]

What a surprise, I sold my bike at the end of February, was collected at the beginning of March.... then the thing kept coming back to haunt me (being stolen, recovered, impounded, log book returned to me, all of which was logged with the police by the new owner).

They sent out a letter demanding money from me, which I ignored... I got the court summons through a few weeks later, so I sent them a slightly sarcastic letter, with the paypal transaction, receipt from the sale, photocopy of the returned log book with the new keepers details on it... all dated March. But they claimed I hadn't notified them by mid July.

Today I got the following letter:

In view of the further information received. it is the Agency's intention to withdraw the charge against you for hearting at ABERGAVENNY COURT on 03/12/2012. In relation to the alleged offence concerning motor vehicle L157***.

Consequently, it will not be necessary for you to atend the hearing on that date.

Cool.

Shame you can't bill them for time spent.

[andym]

hmmmm..... well it was very stressful every time a letter from them dropped through the door

[recman]

Sounds like unjustified harassment to me.
Go for some dollar.

i'd personally be inclined to send them a "demand for payment"

"under regulation you caused me much hastle, stress and grief, now you must pay you are hereby instructed to pay mr andyM the sum of £5000 to be paid in full by 15th December 2012 as compensation for the mental stress and fatigue along with UN-necessary harassment regarding case XXX-XXX, failure to adhere to this instruction will result in legal action being taken against the DVLA"

just to see what they say, never know, they might just offer up something in the way of compo, if they reply at all that is

A win for you, sort of. The next time the DVLA lose whatever paperwork I send them, leading to them sending me speculative invitations to pay a bribe. I want them to take me to court, I will really enjoy the opportunity to put my evidence before a judge and see the useless parasites trounced in court.

Win, eventually.

However, you've received a summons. Unless and until the court tells you that the case has been dropped, it's still game on.

I mean that in a good way. It would be an awesome laugh to turn up with all of your documentation, including your estimate of costs, and receive a default award.
