Doctor17 started following Dvla Fine for failure to insure vehicle
-
My Father died in January 2023 and I have been busy dealing with his funeral and trying to find all the information the lawyers require to get probate. He owned a car which has been parked in his private driveway since his death. It has not been on a public road. I checked and the the car s till Mot'd, but the car tax expired on 30 June. I do not know about the insurance. I appreciate that I was naïve in the workings of the dvla and thought that so long as I did not drive his car on the public road I was not breaking any law and could transfer the registration once I had dealt with all of the other stuff. I sent the V5C and a letter to the sensitive case team at DVLA last week in order to transfer the registered keeper to my name. I will tax and insure the vehicle. I visited my Fathers property on 15 July as I check regularly for any mail. There was a letter from DVLA fining him for no insurance. Apparently there was no insurance on the car on 30/6/23. Obviously as my Father is dead he could not do anything about it. The letter says a fine of £100 is payable by 11 August but reduced to £50 if paid by 4 August. Letter also says it should be insured immediately, a SORN applied to the car or tax it. Should I send a letter disputing this fine or simply pay the £50 before 4 August???? I would be very grateful for any advice as this is getting me down.
