Right...

I part exchanged my old bike for another motorcycle some time ago. The dealer agreed that he would take care of the transfer paperwork (bad start I know, never again). He has been advertising the bike for some time now although I have no idea if it has been sold or not

I received a late notification of tax payment from the DVLA which I replied to using the tear slip provided explaining that the bike had been traded in and I was no longer the keeper, (everything that they asked me for). I did not get any confirmation that this response was received and have now been issued with a letter of fine!!!

I have called DVLA who instructed me that they did not receive my letter letting them know about this, and I've to re-send the details to them again to change the details over, however I shall still be issued with the fine! Is there any way I could successfully appeal this or is it a lost cause as I have no proof that I did send the original letter however I'm furious that it has been "lost" on the way. I have posted off my details recorded delivery but am hanging off paying this fine until I know more, but it is my understanding that even if I get my letter of acknowledgement through, because it is late I'll still need to pay this stupid fine. Ultimately I know it's my fault for not sorting the paperwork myself, however I just find it strange that when I've replied to a letter they send me, my updated info was lost...

Anyone been in a similar position?

Cheers

You Englanders may be on a sticky wicket with that now.

OP is a Scotch though, so it's still worth a punt in front of the Sheriff.
