Dvla v5 dispute over veh tax

I recently returned my vehicle to the Finance company at the end of a 4 year PCP (Personal Contract Purchase). The finance company collected the vehicle and I completed the bottom half of the V5 stating I was no longer the keeper of the vehicle. I have now received a demand from the DVLA with an £80 penalty for not taxing the vehicle. I wrote to them stating that I no longer owed the vehicle and gave details of the finance company who collected it. I today received a further letter from the DVLA stating they had not received my notification that I was no longer the keeper of the vehicle and that I am still liable for the £80 penalty for not taxing it. Advice please?

Classic DVLA scam, how do they get away with this?!?!?!?!
Basically If you didn't send it by recorded/signed for post then your shafted.
Either pay up and be done with it OR take it to court and put up with months of the bailiffs knocking at your door until you eventually win (which you most likely will).
Oh and FYI Mrs P Wooley isn't a real person, with so many people shafted by this BS, if she was real then surely she'd have been tracked down and slowly tortured to death by now.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Thankfully several court cases prove you wrong and have set the legal precedence that you do not have to provide any proof of postage at all.0 -
New rules, It is the owners resposibility to return the logbook with the new keepers details.
You gave the book to the company and didnt return it.
Other people won their cases because the DVLA said the owner didnt return the log book, The DVLA
could not prove if they did or did not. So lost.
Your issue is different, You gave the book to the company which was wrong.
May find it hard to defend that.
If i read the rules right? I am sure someone will confirm what i said.
What strider said about sending it recorded is not correct, They must prove you
did not send it, In your case they may be able to do that because the company
have the logbook, Which they may send in at some point or pass onto the new owner.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
^^ When they got me, my insurance company had asked me for the COMPLETE V5 when my car was written off.
I explained this to the DVLA and got fined for something else instead.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”
