Yeah. I'm all ready to compose a letter to dvla but can't help thinking it will fall on deaf ears. If only there was a common sense department I could contact instead of the incessant jobsworth department!!!

Right, ive got electronic copies of the SORN for 2006,2007,2008,2009 and 2010 and a hard copy of 2011 (the year they are complaining about). There is a month gap from the 2010 SORN ending and the 2011 one starting but seriously, an £80 fine has no justification here surely?

Bit of a long stroy this one. My car has been on SORN since 2007. Always declared it online no problem. Seemingly in 2011 I didnt do it on time. Now thinking back I remember getting a letter from DVLA to which I rang them and they said if I send the declaration off that day everything would be fine (think it was within a month of SORN expiring). I got a notice of SORN back from them and forgot about it. On to last year where we moved address and sent all docs off (licensce, v5 etc for all cars) to get changed over. Never heard anything back regarding the SORN'd car but as I dont use it, it went un-noticed. with that change address not been acknowledged the SORN renewal must have gone to the wrong address even though we had mail redrection? last month I got a fine through for not decalring SORN. I emailed them stating that I had sent off all documents and they/royal mail must have lsot them and I was unwilling to pay a fine for something out of my control. They dismissed this and said £40 fine still outstanding. To get them off my back I rang to pay this. Just as she accepted the payment she says, "oh, theres £80 outstanding from 2011, do you want to pay that?". I told her to stick it and come scrap the car. This morning the letter has come through from Collectica wanting £80 or they will come and clamp the car. Ha, they can clamp it for me, stops any pikeys stealing it off the drive!! But on a serious note, how far can they take this. I begrudge paying it as in 2011 the DVLA said the matter was dealt with although no proof of this. Im going to look through my old paperwork and see when the sorn was actually decalred that year. My main question is, out of the hundreds of thousands of cars that are on the road illegally, why the hell are they spending so much time chasing me for NOT using my car and keeping it on my drive. Im such a criminal. rant over, any help on the matter very much appreciated Steve

Since filing with moneyclaim my case has been transferred from Northampton to Pontefract (my local town) then to Leeds county court and ive just got a letter saying its going to leeds mercantile cour and if I have any objections to let them know within 7 days. This has been going on for months now, I just want a court date and some action. Anyone have any idea why its following this route?

Ive sent in my 1st letter requesting in 400 in charges, they sent back saying they would give 150 in full and final payment. I rang them and told them it wasnt good enough and I would be sending a LBA, which I did. Its day seven now and no reply, I take it that its time to use moneyclaim now but im a little unsure on what to fill in, ive looked in the libraries section but still not crystal clear, can anyone help? thanks Steve
