    A Timely fashion????

    So why didnt you send you license back to get the points put on in 2006/7? Did you just think they would forget about it?

    Did you not receive anything from DVLA/Police informing you your license would be revoked?


    She said, she forgot.

    And you said she ignors you.

    Collect the car tomorrow.

    But contact your insurance first to see it is still in force, the police will when you produce.

    Thank you I have contacted my insurance company everything is in place. I will be collecting my car from the finance company tomorrow, they want the remaining outstanding hp plus,the pound costs and any additional costs they may add on for collecting my car from the pound. I will pay up as it was my silly mistake.
  • MissLady - for the 5th time. Did your insurers know about your points before the car was impounded?

    Your refusal to answer is rather worrying.

    Doesn't really matter to get the car back.

    I'm finding it funny.
    op - keep it up. :rotfl:
  • OP you said your licence was at your mums you and you forgot to send it, do you live at a different address? and your licence registered at your mums? have you declaired a change of address?, as your licence HAS to follow you at every address you reside at if you live at one address and licence registered at another your liable for £1000 fine, and your licence will be invalid.

    i'm affraid you wont hear the last of this either, you maybe reported to the CPS for driving without a valid licence and valid insurance, if your insurance was revoked, (this is arguable and maybe beaten in court under special circumstances) if convicted of both at a magistrate if plead guilty a ban is most likely with a fine and costs, plead not guilty then a jury will decide, if found guilty a lenghy ban and hefty fine plus costs. i'd wait to see of you have a NIP through the post soon

    yeh its easy to forget something..

    Ok then heres another question which has not been answered.

    did you declare your points that you knew you received but forgot to send off your license for to your insurers when you got insurance for the last 2 years?
