Evening all, I am of course another person to receive a LLP for not taxing vehicle. I did in fact SORN my car at the time and unfortunately have lost the receipt since moving nevertheless I intend to fight this. I previously searched on this forum and found a few things but sadly struggling to find what I need. I would be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me the following: - Relevant legislation relating to Tax/SORN and the relevant provisions. I am already aware of s.22 The Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002, any others? - The Registered Keeper is liable ... until the DVLA is notified of its disposal and receive an Acknowledgement Letter in confirmation. I believe there is no legal requirement to contact the DVLA after sending off my SORN however is there any legal requirement which stipulates that I am still liable until I receive an Acknowledgment Letter or is this the DVLA trying it on again. - I have noticed some posts say do not mention the Interpretations Act to them in your letter but also noticed that others have. Ideally I'd like them to drop the matter asap as I am looking to work abroad soon and will not be in the country. Will the reference of the Act help to bring the matter to an end? - I recall that if the DVLA refer the matter to a DCA then you can refuse to deal with them and refer it back to the DVLA and/or threaten harassment. Can someone elaborate or explain? I fully intend to defend this and have already stated to the DVLA that I am not willing to pay any outstanding amount so I would like to be a bit more aggressive in the next letter. Your answers would be helpful Thanks

Hi all, First time signing up but have been lingering for some time, although I do have a problem some may help with regarding a divorce contract. Now, this should be a fairly straightforward divorce as all the paperwork was needed was ready for them and no dispute from the other half - straight forward divorce. However, as time went on, he realised that some of the work done was duplicated and charging for work that had already been provided to them. I believe in one instance they charged him for work outside the contract which they shouldn't have done. Now once he realised he requested to put the file on hold and send out everything to do with his file so he could review and all the charges. After looking at his file its clear that there are charges for work that isn't on file, duplication of work therefore duplication of charges etc. He then decided to query where all the charges had come from but they have appeared to side step the questions and answer completely differently. He also made a formal complaint to which their complaints policy allowed a 14 day response, in fact took the almost 4 weeks to respond! Nevertheless he has refused to pay anything further until they can provide evidence of the work and also the additional charges and reasons. they have decided to stop the work and pass it onto the debt recovery team. This has been ongoing for over 2 years now and numerous letters have been sent and as of late are now being ignored. He has complained to the Legal Ombudsman but as he was out of time they were not much help but did hint that if he took it further he was likely to be successful. This is an issue of costs, and he would now like to now recover the cost of the money he has paid so far due to their ignorance of letters and failure to respond to any of his reasonable questions regarding the charges. Obviously in any event settle the disputed amount and carry on with the contract. It seems like the firm have ballsed this one up and from the start as appears the original file handler is not longer working there after questions were raised! can he do anything about it? I have never come across a case where someone with a debt to a firm/company to take them to court in order to either settle the disputed debt or void the contract and return the parties back as they were before the contract was entered into. Obviously mediation may be an option? Could he argue a breach of contract for failing to fulfil it the contract? On the flipside they can argue the contract is not fulfilled due to him owing them money. He does not want to leave it as they have already been paid almost £1,000 and not done very much. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
