DVLA taking me to court ! HELP NEEDED !

rudy691

here goes.


in August 2008 ive sold my car, sent off the V5 to dvla as I always did, and went on with my life. after that I've changed houses. and that's when the problems started apparently.
DVLA never received my V5 and they were sending letters to my old address for next couple of weeks. Then the court case happened (which I wasnt aware of), got fined and only in May I heard about the proceedings as I've received letter from bailiffs telling me to pay up or they gonna take my goods. had some advice after this and went to court to make a statuatory declaration that I didnt know about the proceedings. Fine was cancelled and I've been notified by court that DVLA have my new details now so they might still take me to court.

Which they did today ! I was sent court summons today, with the court case and everything, accusing me that I didn't inform dvla about the the change of keeper (which I did send the V5 to them).

Don't really know how to deal with this now....

would like some advice here

i can say that I dont have a proof of posting V5 as you never send it recorded. I have a selling agreement though - signed and dated by me and the guy who bought it from me, with his address on it.

CAG will be have more legal advice than here.

I dont have legal background, but I have read posts concerning this on both those sites.
