Many thanks for your brief above.Would have thought that DVLA should have advised me accordingly instead of keeping quiet and waiting until I am liable for a fine.The other problem I have is that DVLA is insisiting on £80 per car.I do not know why DVLA is reluctant to accept a payment of £40 per car since I responded immediately I got the penanlty notice.It took considerable amount of time before a final decision was reached;when obviously the £40 grace had expired.

I thought the reason for the fine is because of failure to declare SORN or relicence the Vehicles.I could not have declared SORN as there was no plans to keep the cars.DVLA was duly informed that the cars were permanenetly off the road and awaiting scrapping.

Will greatly appreciate if members could advise me on what to do.Bought 4 Vehicles for scrap.As all the 4 cars were taxed I successfully applied for refunds on the remaining months left on the Road taxes for the 4 cars.I also inform DVLA on the Road Tax Refund form that the Vehicles were off the road and that the cars were awaiting scrapping.I received 4 penalties for failing to relicense the vehicles or declaring a SORN despite scapping all the 4 vehicles immediately after my initial declaration.(The reason being that I only inform DVLA that the Vehicles were awaiting scapping but I did not inform DVLA when the cars were eventually scrapped).I did not apply for SORN as the Vehicles were already in the scrap yard to be permanently scrapped anyway.All my effors to date to make DVLA rescind the penalties have been fruitless.DVLA is requesting for the amount (320pounds) or else I will be referred to the Debt Recovery Agency.Is there any independent Agency I could take my case to?
