    Contact the council quickly and speak to them. Contact bailiffadviceonline quickly.Have you moved house or changed car and forgot to tell the dvla?
    Others will have more advice.
    Post on pepipoo.com as well.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Is it on or off road?
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'
