I don't care about January,it has always been the month you sell.someone looses, it's like if I decided to take my motorbike out of the shed today and tax it. I would loose from the start of this month. I know this, I know exactly how it is, but really,. New owner pays road tax the following month and the old owner does,nt get it bac because the dvla are behind and have processed it late

So is there nothing I can do

Wish i knew if i would win .if i did i would take them to court.hoping someone on hear can give me the answers and facts as the dvla should.nt be allowed to get away with this

Hello all. I am in need of good advise. I sold my car on 09/01/2015 with tax until end of April left on the car, which would mean I don't get January back. But should get feb/ march/April back. Wrong because dvla have told me that because they did,nt receive the signed v5 back until 02/02/2015 I only get two months back. How wrong is this, Now I know they would of received the v5 back we'll before the end of January because I posted it in good time. But because I did,nt send it recorded delivery,I have no proof. What really makes me angry is the fact that the new owner set up a direct debit for paying the road tax in January. So in short,I feel that it is legalised theft for them to keep road tax for febuary twice, I have complained to the refund section, and have now complained to the next stage,and basically my next stage is to go to the chief executive
