DVLA Arseholes

[ZebraDriver]

Just got a letter from the DVLA with a refund for my bike tax - that I didn't ask for.
Turns out that because I SORNed the bike when I first bought it, and then subsequently (two weeks later) insured/Motd/taxed the bike their systems are so slow these days they applied the SORN after I taxed it (their monkeys obviously can't read dates)
So now I have to tax it all over again and fight them to get back the lost months (they have deducted two months tax from the payment)

At least you didn’t get pulled via ANPR for riding without tax.

Now, despite the DVLA having cancelled and refunded my road tax I've received their snotty letter warning me that the bike is neither taxed nor sorned. After an hour long web chat with the DVLA it transpires that the only way to cure the problem is to tax or sorn it myself. Not even a hint of an apology, despite this all being their fuck up.

To rub salt into the wound after sorning it I received a warning that they may take further action because of the length of time that it was untaxed and not sorned.....

I'd be inclined to let them take me to court and show them up for the fucking idiots they are. You have a papertrail to show you taxed it after it was sorned.

The same thought had already crossed my mind

I believe there's a rule for job applications at the DVLA, that you can't apply if your IQ is higher than 95.
