Worthless & unwanted car clamped for no tax, pay?
Precision
Posts: 36 Forumite
Moved my rusty banger off the driveway while i did some spring cleaning and foolishly left it there for a few days and now it's been clamped.
Uninsured, SORN and no MOT.
DVLA want £100 + £160 to take the clamp off
The money they want greatly exceeds the worth of the vehicle. So i'm looking for a legal alternative to paying.
Is doing nothing and waiting for them to tow it away, to avoid paying for clamp removal a valid option?
The leaflet left on the car says i can return a "vehicle disclaimer form" if i no longer want the vehicle however it does not say if i still have to pay any fees, is anyone able to clarify this?
Also any idea where this form is located? The leaflet doesn't say where to find it.
Thanks!

Does it not come up as a result when you Google DVLA untaxed vehicle disclaimer form ?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

Unfortunately not, mostly info about getting your car un-clamped.
No form ID number on the leaflet they left either.
The leaflet doesn't go into much detail about the implications of giving up the vehicle either.0
