Legal question, fine from the DVLA

[Bellend]

Right so I sold a T4 Van last year in July. Sent the logbook off etc.

November comes and we get a fine for no tax. Send off a letter saying we don't own it etc. They say yeah it's fine.

Today have recieved a debt recovery and they are saying on the phone we are still liable.

Don't they have to prove that the logbook wasn't sent, rather then us proving we did etc?

How do I angle this? Thank you.

Nope, all on you i'm afraid, i got f**ked over like this after an epic cool story bro!

[Bellend]

Really? That's rediculous.

How can:
1. We SORN the thing, when we don't own it
2. The new keeper do anything without the logbook?

Baring in mind that we knew nothing til we got the tax reminder/fine thing which says ignore it if you've recently sold the vehicle.

Sellers slip? Evidence of previous correspondence? Evidence of Postage? And as for 'Don't they have to prove that the logbook wasn't sent, rather then us proving we did etc?' What f**king plannet do you live on...

Tell them to f**k off, you sold it and sent the book off in the way in which they instruct.

Ignore the f**k*rs.

But it's not his car anymore, why should it be his responsibility.

Because they dont give a f**k, i had to jump through hoops, write letters to 6 different depts/councils to prove i sold the car over a year ago. And still it was only dropped because the baliff was a jizz
