strange dvla sorn fines

[stevey123]

ive had 2 untaxed/non sorn notices in one week!

the first for a van that i sorned and received a confirmation e-mail that now is not sorn? only after 3 mths

the second for a van that is sorned according to the dvla's own website!

has anyone else had any problems lately?

This has popped up on a couple of forums, seems like DVLA are having issues with their automated system. Best thing to do is get in touch with DVLA if you're worried so you can get confirmation of the facts.

Just to say....I've had this too....threats of fines and other curse word off them. If you call them they refuse to listen....you have to appeal or prove via post. Total pee take!
No apologies off them at all for their constant threats of fines and court action.

friend of mine had one last week get in touch with dvla there has been computer glitch putting it politely,
the problem seems to be if you buy a car all ready sorned, when you apply for the change in keeper the system doesnt scrap the old keepers sorn declaration, then the new keeper gets a fine for not sorning the car although it still shows on there system as sorned. also when you sorn the new purchase you get the confirmation of it being sorned but there system doesnt update to show the new keeper has done it.

also if the vehicle is taxed by previous keeper it is taking upto four weeks for dvla to change the tax status at which point they then back date to the date on the v5 they recieved.
the only way ive managed to tax a car that is still showing as taxed by previous owner is to do it at a post office the online system hasnt let me complete the process on several cars now.

I'm also having problems with a log book for my jaguar, previous owner sent off the log book In January, I didn't receive a new one, emailed dvla and they said no change of owner received, I applied by form v62 and still nothing , first problems I've had in over 30 years with the dvla

that's regular pretty sure they do that just to make money. did you get proof of postage?

friend of mine recieved 3 almost identical log books in january for the same car!

I have also managed to tax a car mid month then scrap it at the end of the month and not had any payment taken for the tax (monthly direct debit done online)

Yes I've had letter stating I have no sorn and I am liable for outstanding tax on my car. I called the number on the letter as I have an email to prove sorn and also bank transactions for tax when car was on road but they were a payment line and wouldn't listen. I found it amusing when they told me if I didn't pay the enforcement team may choose to clamp the car. They'll have to refit the suspension and wheels to do so which will save me the effort so hopefully they pop by .

I've written s letter with copies of the paperwork I have but as yet have had no reply.

ive never had any problems with the dvla really but twice in one week is a bit much!

I've just received a tax refund cheque on one of my tow cars.

I don't mind, as it's not currently in the UK, but I haven't sold it, Sorn'd it, or changed say material,aspect of the vehicle, or my ownership.

So that's going to be an interesting/ expensive telephone call on Monday
