    So stop whining and sue them.
    Some people will blame anyone and everyone but themselves when they make a c*ck up.

    @cajef
    You are incorrect. And I am not blaming anyone and everyone. As I said initially bad coincidence that they scrapped tax disks and also failed to deliver MULTIPLE reminders to my house in the same period. And this is a conspiracy to me, because I am sure many people have run into the same trouble in 2015 and they are not cheaters. With a tax disk I would not miss it regardless of the reminders. I would still like to have my V11 somehow.
    I am a victim of the transition.
    I sense that your empathy is of an angel: "I am perfect the rest is stupid or cheating and even dare to post on this board"

    You may be sure of it but you haven't a shred of evidence for it. In fact the only person you know of to whom this has happened is you. One person.

    Given that thousands of these must have got lost every year for decades this proves nothing, nothing whatsoever.

    And this is it!
    It is hard to prove conspiracies like this, because it is geographically random plus majority of people is obedient to the edge of stupidity and never question the authority or he/she is silenced by "we do not take legal responsibility" from the other party. They pay.
    Too bad disinformation is not considered an offense.
    I am going to complain to DVLA about their bad service.
    And my case proves that these 20-40 millions of DVLA reminders are simply junk mail. I have lost about 48h of my time in fast pace to get to the bottom of it + have driven 30 miles one way to get my car back, damaged from a dusty car pound. This was humiliating.
    I have crafted my own tax disks.

    .


    All of which could have been avoided with a simple calendar.

    Moaning about conspiracies makes you look like a nutjob.

    Please close this thread, because people do not understand that I was humiliated by the system they vote on which is a direct resultant of their average intelligence.
    I don't need calendars I have my own fancy tax disks and I want to establish my own conspiracy to scam other "baby on board" people to maintain the balance.
    Thank you

    Good luck with that.

    For what it's worth I haven't voted for any government that's been in power in the UK - ever - and I first voted in 1970.

    Blimey. Even with your keen mentality and superior intelligence you still couldn't remember a couple of dates! :D:D:p:p

    Your conspiracy theory has one flaw. It wont work if people tax their car. :D

    Still don't get your not receiving "MULTIPLE" reminders, they only send one! ;)
