More DVLA Fuckwittery!

[STONEY!]

Same old story, they say I didn't post V5, I did, moved house and forgot about it, had mail forwarded from previous address which consisted of about 20 or so demands from intercredit arsebandits.

Now dvla have finally sussed out I have moved and given intercredit my new address I have been getting letters every couple of days here, mostly demanding payment, a couple offering help in the form of payment plans (yeah right) and one saying they wont be in contact again as its now going to court.

I don't particularly fancy a day in court so figured I'd chance writing to the dvla enforcement office explaining things stating the usual section 7 and FOI regarding lost letters responce.

I have now received this letter in reply:

Can any of you bcf legal geniuses give me a rough idea of what to write as a reply?

Am I right in thinking that it doesn't matter what Dvla's position is and that its only the actual law that matters in which case something along the lines of "dont give a fuck what your position is, its the law so STFU and GTFO" put a little more eloquently.

Hi paddy

already done the usual message regarding section 7 of interpretations act and foi request, dvla have replied with the above letter.

Im just wondering if theres anything else I can write back with to get em to sod off as I cba with court unless I really have to!

[Casper]

That's the stage I got to last time. I thought fuck it and never wrote back. Got two threatening letters from them and nothing since.

[TotalGSXR]

If you're that desperate to avoid court, pay the bribe. Otherwise of course they're going to chase you for money. It costs them practically nothing and they've nothing to lose.

[STONEY!]

Im not that bothered about going to court just cba really, if it comes to it I will but if I can get them to drop it before that happens I will.

Doesn't cost me bugger all to ignore their letters or send them a couple either.

You posted v5 and moved. Not your issue, fulfilled your obligation.

They will not make anything stick, the law says you post, that is it. This has been done.

stick to your guns, get day in court. Rape em

[STONEY!]

No I did not get proof of postage, I attached a 2nd class stamp to an envelope, wrote the address on it, shoved the v5 in it and put it in a postbox as that is all that is required of me by law.

I shouldn't (and don't) have to prove I posted it.

[andyscooter]

no but now you could prove it without any hassle

You posted it first class. The letter is laughable, the usual shoot themselves in the foot the DVLA chimps often come up with when veering off the template letter script.

Section 7 of the Interpretations act 1978 IS THE LAW! It doesn't matter what the DVLA think about this law, if they don't like it or think it doesn't apply to them because they are 'special'. It is the law, end of story.


TL:DR The law trumps company policy.

Send that Muppet a letter to tell him you never received his blackmail letter.

As there is absolutely no legal requirement for the vehicle keeper to record postage so he is onto a bag of rice.
He is chancing his arm that you will crumble by weight of the pen.

You could arrange to meet him and glass the bastirt...
Or ignore-oh

Anyway, the horse has bolted as they now KNOW the fecking vehicle is no longer kept by you so wot's his beef?

If it goes to court they'll laff in his face.

Who does he think he is? The Sherriff of Swan-feckin-sea?
