Car tax mistake?
Just got a letter there from the dva stating that when I taxed my 200sx in the post office for 6 months I paid £68.75 but I should of paid £112.75 now they want me to send them the difference back! Surely this is the post offices mistake and not mine, as far as I know if a shop makes a mistake they can't do anything,but i'm sure things like this there are exceptions. So what should I do ? thanks

Tax is one thing you can't wiggle out of, regardless of who makes the mistake. My advice is to pay the DVLA to ensure that your car is correctly taxed, otherwise I would avoid driving it on the road. The post office is only acting as a point of payment, they don't provide the tax disc "service". DVLA has control over this.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies0 -
If you haven't paid the correct amount for the tax then they can cancel your tax disc and you'll be driving around without tax. A bit like those who pay by cheque and the cheque later bounces.The man without a signature.0

How much did the renewal notice state you had to pay?.Never Knowingly Understood.

About twenty-five years ago I bought a car from a dealer who had arranged the RFL. About a month or so into owning the car I got a letter from the DVLC saying that the dealer's cheque had bounced and I needed to pay up. I wrote back reminding them that their contract is with the dealer and not me, if they are owed any money it is the dealer who they should pursue, along with some carefully researched legal references (I forget which ones; pre-internet, this was the eighties;)). I got a letter back apologising for their "mistake."The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -
You would have paid that amount anyway if it was right first time, and will again in 6 months or more if the rates go up again.0

They will cancel the disc and they know where you live to send the clampers round, Or you may wake up and find it
gone after being towed.
As mentioned they have it all their way, Whether they are right or wrong they assume they are right until a court
tells them otherwise.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0
