Hello, thanks for reply,
yes he attended the court date and they told him he was at fault for not chasing up notification of new owner, they told him it was his responsibility to ensure dvla received the form and that he would hear from them in the post with instruction of how to pay the fine.
He never received this. Instead, he got letters from Marston which he ignored as he thought the court were writing to him.
I have done some research, would the form N245 stop this warrant immediately, due to hardship paying?
