CaNsA vs DVLA (yes another DVLA thread)

[CaNsA]

When my CBR was nicked, written off, bought back, sold to a mate in april last year I sent in my V5C to the DVLA.

Fast forward to this week and a "The amount you owe is £250" letter from the courts drops.

So I give them a call, turns out the DVLA hadn't received my V5C and summoned me to court but sent the summons to my old old old address.

So.... I have to goto Wirral Mag. Courts on tuesday, sign a declaration stating I never received a summons.
Then the DVLA will start the prosecution process again.

Now, where's that thread where the DVLA gets bitch slapped by their own legislation ?

Ta very much.

did you get proof of postage when you sent the V5?

if so do you still have it?

if you do, sign the failed to receive summons decleration, let DVLA take you back to court and just stand there waving the POP in the air giggling like a little girl.

i very much doubt a court can argue it.

granted, POP only proves you sent *something* to the dvla but once you present POP for it, it then becomes soley their responsibility to prove beyond reasonable doubt you did not send it.

and in all honesty, unless you get a cage loving, bike hating muther of a judge, they probably wont let it get that far.

solid peice of advise for others?

sell/scrap/give your bike to someone else? send off the V5 yourself and get POP. Proof of postage is essentially a receipt from the post office.

yes it means you have to stand in line, however it could be the difference between a really bad day and a headache or laughing at the dvla as they loose.

oh, take that POP and chuck it in whatever safe/folder/draw you keep all your other vehicle related documents in and forget about it. its a small piece of paper which takes barely any room so even after 10 years it might still be useful

yes but for the sake of 5 minutes in a queue it saves a whole lot of messing around. and not only that you can scan/photocopy the POP and send to the dvla solicitors or whoever and it probably wont even go to court.

exactly as turkish said, the onus is on them, even if they was to challenge whether it was posted or not (it will not happen, they would be accusing him or telling porkies) then cansa can start proceedings against them for slander / libel

lol

OK, I agree about getting proof of postage, but as sickpup noted, the DVLA bother don't get it, so why should we? If a court is going to take their word for it that they sent anything out, then it should take ours as well.

there was a standard letter that you could use to adjust to your needs and use that.

How do you mean?

[sickpup]

Well if the vehicle was still in your name not his he failed to notify a change in keeper therefore he committed an offence.

[CaNsA]

So i cant just say that i sent it off?

I have to shop him?

[sickpup]

[U_W v2.0]

wait, unless im missing something, then as long as his mate completed the V5 and left it with cansa so post off then he hasnt really commited an offence.

forgetting that your expecting a V5 could be easily forgotten about.

i dont see how his mates commited any offence if cansa was the one sending th V5 off after its filled in with his mates details and signature.

Not my problem.

Anything past "me posting the v5" doesnt concern me.
