DVLA fine for passed on car

Strider590

The letters will keep coming, even if you write back, nobody reads them and the whole system is pretty much automated. They're usually signed by someone who either has a death wish OR a fake name (I can't remember her name right now).

The only way to settle these DVLA fines is to go to court or pay.

If the DVLA squad find the car, they will clamp it if it is untaxed on private ground, or impound it if it is on the road.

Just tell the DVLA that the deceased had sorned the car before his death and that it must have got lost in the post. They can't confirm or deny that it was posted. The DVLA will always use that excuse if it was the other way round.

Then go and tax the car and put in in daughter's name.

I guess as you say, someone has to pay be it the deceased partner or the daughter. I will put it to the partner to see if she wants to push the onus on or just pay the fine to make it go away.

No, just do what angrycrow suggested. And whatever you do, don't start making up stories, as some have suggested. It's quite possible the DVLA will be happy to get the situation regularised and just ask for tax from the daughter from the time she became the RK.

Obviously, it's entirely up to the deceased's partner if she wants to help the daughter financially.

Because that is all she is legally bound to pay. If they asked for the full amount, I'd tell them where to go.
