I'm bloody fuming ! mad

Just got a DVLA SORN fine in the post this morning.

I wouldn't mind but i bought the car on 18 oct with tax on .its been sat on the driveway unused since.
never received a tax reminder for when tax run out at end of oct - this prob went to prev. owner. never heard a thing from them until today- which just so happens to be a week since i taxed it which i back dated to jan 1st !

so now i got to pay £25 because of their incompetent computers ! ( and my lack of observation )

Arrrgggghhhh !!!!!!! mad

ok rant over - thank you ! :rolleyes:

When it shines it shines,
And when it pours it poors !!

That's bad luck Hippychic... <img border="0" alt="[cwsorry]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions053.gif" />

Are you going to ring them up? <img border="0" alt="[cwchill]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions048.gif" />
Are you going to pay? <img border="0" alt="[cwrumad]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions050.gif" />

Let us know if they see sense... <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

Oh yeah i phoned them up - had a rant & rave and came to the conclusion that they arent interested in why they just want their money !
bloody fuming i tell ya !

They basically said that it wasnt their fault that I hadnt received the reminder or noticed that MY car that was sat on MY driveway had run out of tax and that I hadnt filled in a sorn that can be collected from a local post office. They did say that i can write in to complain & explain the circumstances, but that i'll still probably end up paying the fine. Great help they were!

I give in its not worth the flamin hassle !
I wrote a chq for £25 and posted it off this afternoon !
