Dead car clamped for lack of Car Tax

waddy256

Well long story short..............

the outcome of all this was, the car was towed and was taken in lue of all charges from the clampers (the car only cost me £150 to start with and I had 4 good years out of it)..........

I got a letter from the dvla a few days later telling me to pay a fine of £40 within the week or £80 thereafter plus back tax of £32, I called them up straight away and paid the fine of £40 and told them who now had posession of the car.

They told me to to mail them the details of the company that had impounded the car , even tho they were employed by the dvla....when I mentioned paying the back tax they wrote it off saying the fine I just paid covered that as well................

So in a nutshell, not paying my tax and/or declaring it sorn saved me £210...............yes I actually do live that far out in the sticks.

Fair result , no robbery and I am a happy person once again.

cheers all for the advice good and bad, I still appreciated it.
