i got this with a car.
Car smashed up and recovered by recovery company. Tax disc sent back to me.
Letter from DVLA asking if i was still the owner (even though i sent the V5 to insurance company expecting them or the salvage company to fill it out  ).
Basically they wanted to export the salvage abroad (probably china).
After i informed them i didnt own it anymore i got a letter with a fine.
Couldn't be arsed to write in to appeal it as i could just pay half price there and then. Decided my time i would have used appealing it was worth more than the money they were asking for.
live and learn. |

So you hear-say now.
Thing is, it was your responsibility to tell the DVLA about the disposal of the bike, not theirs, nor anyone else's.

How many times?  "Write off" means nothing. It's a phrase that insurers bandy about to reduce the future value of a vehicle that they've already paid out on once.
They bought the bike from you and sold it to someone else, as they were perfectly entitled to do. Having never been the registered keeper, they committed no offence, at least one that the DVLA will be interested in prosecuting.
| andyscooter wrote: | we sent them a letter explaining what had happend |
 In which you freely and frankly admitted the offence of not telling them that you'd disposed of the bike.
You sent them a written confession. I bet you even signed it. 
I am genuinely sorry that you were honest and decent and reasonable, and that you fucked up and trusted people who are none of those things, but there we are.
You may have a civil case for breach of contract with 4th dimension, if you can show that you had any contract with them or that they owed you a duty of care. But that's between you and them, not the DVLA. DVLA have you banged to rights.
Options:
 Pay the bribe and try to wring the money out of someone else.
'Remember' that you send them a notification (but you didn't, and you've told them that you didn't).
Appeal to their compassion or common sense (bwah hahahahah).
Ignore it and hope that they don't prosecute (but they have your confession).
If they prosecute, either offer a bribe at the door, or tell the magistrates that while you did indeed admit to committing the offence... uh... hang on... something will come to me...
Best option would be provoking Putin into nuking Swansea, but short of that, I think that given the circumstances I'd pay up (now or at the courtroom door) and chalk this one up to costly experience.
