past due credit solutions- DVLA

Jasmine2020

Hi all

I would really appreciate anyone who could help me with this. I forgot to "tax" my car on the date it was due some personal issues. my car is exempt from road tax under the goverment guide lines, so I dont actually pay for road tax however still have to get it "taxed". I had passed the date the tax was due, but did call and got it "taxed" when I relised it was overdue. I got a fine for it for £40 for it which I appealed as per DVLA guidelines, which I got no reply but got a fine from past due credit solutions for £80. I am wandering why I got a fine, when I actually dont have to pay for car tax any way which is unfair. has anyone had this problem? have you appealed this and won your appeal? I know they cant take you to court, but do they still take you to a small claims? and would they win?

any advice guidance would be greatly appreciated, these companies letters give me great anxiety.

many thanks

You still need to tax your car, even if you don't pay for it, hence the fine.

I can't see how you would win if it goes to court.
