SORN fine despite tracked proof of postage

Thanks for all the comments, I'm not quite clear in all this if I should be standing my ground further or just paying up?

You said you didn't want the hassle of court. Since your representations to the DVLA have not been successful, court is where you will end up if you don't pay as they request.

It's as simple as that.

You have two choices.

1. Pay now.
2. Go to court.

If it does go to court, you have proof of posting *something* to DVLA. But not of what. And you have no proof that whatever it was was received.

Take your pick.

Agree apart from the proof of delivery - if it were that simple then people wouldn’t pay speeding fines etc.
Delivery is assumed IF proof of postage can be shown for the appropriate document

Okay thanks for all the posts it really sucks they can't use some reasonable discretion.

How many people genuinely don't post things like that off, then - when penalised - say "But I posted it... Didn't you receive it?"

Just do it online. Takes seconds. Confirmation of success is instant.

Err.. how many of those people provide a post office tracked receipt which reads DVLA and their post code on it?
