This is the second threat off these idiots claiming I've not informed them I'm no longer the keeper of my old Hyosung.

I sent it off on the 5th of December by 1st class, and never bothered. Should of sent it recorded. Why should I have to prove I've done my bit and they've lost it.

Do I pay up or not?

The onus is on them to prove you didn't, I had this for a car a few years ago, sent them a letter and multiple emails and kept proof off all following correspondence, the 3rd email did the trick and it was dropped.

sorry, just to clarify:

This is the second letter you've had because you didn't reply to the first a few weeks ago

or

they threatened you about it before, it got dropped and they're stupid enough to try again

Second time in 10 years of bike ownership they have told me I haven't notified them of a change in registered keeper. Last time it went to Bolton County court. I turned up, DVLA didn't attend. Case dropped.

This second time I sold my Hyosung to a dealership, and sent off the V5 on December the 5th. No proof of post but that's not up to me to prove.

Now recieved pay a reduced fine by such a date, then a higher fine by another date otherwise we will take you to court.

This is one of the things I like about the IOM. Similar thing happened to me, I sent the documentation off to inform them that I was no longer the registered keeper. About six months later I received a letter saying someone else was trying to register the bike but, they still had myself down as the registered owner.

However, rather than a fine, all they stated was that if I didn't let them know any different within two weeks, they'd register it in the new owners name.

How difficult is it for the UK government to act in such a sensible way?

That'll be great until of course you are working away from home for a period, someone steals your bike and re registers it!

For the sake of sending the form off as recorded, or even getting a receipt from the PO, you can save yourself an entire ballache. I don't understand why you would let yourself be put in this position.

No need to send it recorded. Proof of postage (which is free) is enough.

.

Google the 'postal rule' in contract law. Basically, you don't have to prove that they received it, just that you sent it. The onus is upon them. Although a different area of law (some would argue traffic law is actually contractual, but hey!) the logic is transferable.

I received a court summons from National Express after being stopped by one of their heavies for not having a train ticket after their machine wouldn't accept my £10 at the station. He demanded I pay double the £5.50 fare on board or a £20 penalty fare. I said I only had my card and he declined.

Gave my details, received a letter, explained my situation, they replied asking for £5.50. I sent it in a postal order just to be difficult really and they pretended that they never received it by sending me a court summons. Phoned them up and paid over the phone the day before the hearing. Pain in the ass as I paid twice but it really pays to get proof of postage!

Not difficult at all. That is how it worked in the UK for decades. But the DVLA needed something so they appeared to actually have a purpose so they came up with the current crappy system.

All the best

Did you not receive a written verification of the change of ownership? they usually arrive within 3 weeks of posting.
