Purchased Road Tax Disc from Dealer

neilmcl

So, to confirm. You bought a car and the dealer said they'll throw in 12mths tax but the DVLA have said their payment has bounced, so you ended up having to pay it yourself, so now want to recover the payment (which happens to be only £30) from the dealer. That about sums it up?

TBH, I'd be tempted to just write off the £30 and move on especially if the dealer has gone into administration. Sounds too much trouble than it's worth.

I guess you missed this from the original post...

Just write off the £30. It'll cost as much to chase it, and is unlikely to be successful.

The road tax should still only be £30 regardless of who pays for it, so it's still cheap tax - just not this year while you're paying twice!

You can save on the tax if the dealer is willing to pay some of it as is often the case with VAT.



Provided the full amount goes to the government, they don't care where the money comes from.

Well, yes - but that's a marketing offer, much like a dealer paying for the road fund license. The key point is the tax is still payable,

The point I WAS making is that the way the OP is written suggested that they were getting a better offer on a tax disc, which would NOT be done on it's own. (And I DID qualify in my post about it being possible via a vehicle purchase contract).

So I'm not really sure what point you were trying to make (that I hadn't ALREADY made).

PS - if you quote something then it's helpful to link to where the quote originated.

You can, but you probably will end up spending more than you'll get back.

You may be able to take them to the small claims court - if they haven't already gone into administration.

If you do take them, it'll cost you money. They won't pay you anyway, so you'll just lose more.

It will cost you more money to take them to court. If they pay up you get the amount sued for, plus your costs - but ONLY if they pay up. You could jus as easily be out £60 and not £30 !

As others have suggested - for £30, I'd move on.

No you can't, they are protected by the administrator just now, you need to contact the administrator who will put you on the list of creditors.

It is sometime possible to take a company in administration to court but these are exceptional circumstances, this is not one of those circumstances.
