  1. LOL well you would have wasted a long drive for all of 8 minutes! but thank you! This forum is fantastic I have found so much support and reassurance from it! I honestly cant thank every one enough!
  2. Hi all, Well today I had my day in court. and it took me 8 minutes(I timed this- sad I know) I literally walked in after being called in. and the prosecutor said to me these are the charges and then went through what I hadnt done- ie not notify the DVLA and that set me off with well actually yes I did!! when he showed me my SECOND letter to the dvla and I asked where the first one was he said he didnt know he didnt have it with him and I said well there we go! I then went on to explain that he should also have on his records that I had bought and paid for new papers costing me £25 so why would I buy new paperwork then NOT send it???? I was shocked when he said he fully agreed. what shocked me even more was when he said ok well I can see that you have taken all the necessary steps and we wont persue this.... I said well what now? and he said you're free to go. I asked if he meant for the day or go for good?? he said no we're done nothing more will come of it I can go... I didnt need telling again I RAN out of there! after staying up till almost midnight last night getting all my interpretations act facts straight I was expecting to put up one hell of a fight. It was either that he was in a good mood for the weekend or felt very sorry for such a heavily pregnant woman or realized quickly he didnt have enough to go on. Either way I had my day in court and thank goodness its over now! Canute a particularly big thanks to you for all your help and information you sent! I hope every one gets off as easily as I did. Im so glad now I didnt pay that fine on a moral level because in my case I did get my justice and those DVLA swines didnt get a penny off me!!
  3. seriously? cause in all honesty I will take any support I can get (how desperate do I sound) haha are you near to wimbledon?
  4. Canute, thank you for that. its giving me a bit more hope. I got the date wrong it was the 8th of the 6th not the 6th of the 6th(shows how well I have studied that document) So tomorrow looms... Im just nervous about being in there on my own with a very basic general knowledge of the interpretations act and '4 weeks chasing it up' to me its simple!! they should have on their records that we had to buy new paper work after I'd misplaced the last lot, that cost me an additional £25 so why wouldnt I send it after I'd aready incured the cost. They had also sent me a letter asking if I was aware some one else had applied for registered keeper surely even then when I said YES? they should have mentioned they'd not received my paper work!? How long am I looking at with re to a time frame? will they keep me there all day? Im not sure why I've not been getting the emails showing me there are updates to this forum. Thanks again for all the help and advice will post once I've had my day...
  5. so I wont have any one fighting my case but me? I plan on printing off the post from millitant cause I think thats written so well. Im so sorry for all these questions I just want to be prepared for this. Thank you to every one who is commenting and providing much needed help and advice. I just said to my husband Im gonna fight these bast*rds about this now. I did what I was told to. I'm a little house wife I have no need to be trying to rip off the secretary of state!! it was such a rubbish old car this is just far more than its worth!
  6. Am I gonna be put infront of a judge and civil servants and what not? and can they still make me pay their 'maximum £1000 fine? the truth is I did post it with some one- the guy I sold it too thats why he's been so good in giving me his letter the DVLA sent him. I WISH I had found this forum earlier. I thought I was the only one this had ever happened too. its turning out Im one in hundreds. I just dont know if I should go looking sorry for myself and look scared(should come naturally ) or if I go with my really bad attitude which got me no where before and all my raging hormones! lol
  7. Wimbledon magistrates. like I say for me its a case of Ive left this far too long, not wanting to face it. now its come and Im going to be sitting there very pregnant with no one for support Im being a bit of a wimp now... I just dont need the stress of it. I'd rather pay the fine- knowing I'm NOT guilty. but with no proof other than the other guys letter saying his papers are being processed there isnt a whole lot I can do
  8. RayKay I have had a good read now of the posts you mentioned, you seem incredibly knowledgeable with the legalities of the system(most of it way above my head) as much as I would love to take the DVLA to hell and back, I wont have the time for this with a baby only weeks away and an active toddler. If I called and asked if I can pay the £55 just to be done with it, would they accept that or would they still want me to o to court? then I would plead guilty again just to be done with it.
  9. Do you think it will be enough with such limited time left cause it is literally 4 working days with the bank holidays included. Thank you very much for that letter I plan on sending this afternoon!
  10. PLEASE I am in desperate need of some advice. I have a bit of ostrich with head in the sand syndrome... First I got a letter saying some one else had applied for registered keeper- was I aware of this- I responded with yes I did.. I thought it odd since I had sent them paper work saying I had passed the car on. when I got a letter telling me I didnt notify them I had sold the car I told the DVLA what I thought they could do with their threat of a £35 fine. The next letter said I now owed them £55 I told them I would go to watch dog cause they seem to be a feature company of that program for ripping people off. The letter I got after that was a court summons. I put it in the bottom of the drawer and didnt even mention it to my husband while I dwelled on what I should do about it. Now the months leading up to the 6th of June, have turned into a week to go. and Im really stressed out about it. I havent sought advice from any one and figure with this sort of time frame its not even gonna help to try and get free advice? on my court date I will be 37 weeks pregnant. I'd be lying if I said I needed this added stress. The only thing I have is a piece of paper from the DVLA to the guy I sold the car to saying his application for registered keeper is being processed. I have no proof I posted of the v5 is it? I have seen alot of people on here talking about just calling the DVLA and paying the fine? While I would hate to take his route on a moral ground wich I wanted to fight- I would be appearing in court alone, heavily pregnant and having to find a baby sitter for my toddler. Since I only sprung this on my husband last week he cant take the day off work. Has any one faced the courts? what is the process or requirements and is there ANY WAY I can get out of this now, last minute??? If any one has any advice or information I will be so greatful for it
