DVLA Advantis

Hi, I received a fine for £80 through debt collection agency Advantis for missing my car tax. I missed it as I never received the reminder. I don’t actually pay any car tax, I just have to declare this every year. 
I’ve spoken with them and they have said there’s nothing I can do and have to pay. Wondering if anyone had any advice?

    You didn't receive a reminder because you haven't got the car registered to your newest address, we assume?  You MUST sort that out if that's the issue.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
