I bought a car in December 2010 without the log book. The car was damaged so my intention was to have it off road to fix it up and sell it on without the logbook so that it remains as 1 former keeper from new. Well this process took longer than expected. With the company who sold me the vehicle having it back in their possession for most of the time as to cut a long story short they tried to rob me basically by removing good parts and fitting faulty parts to the car before they sold it to me, so i was in a battle with them to get them to sort it. In the mean time when i did have possession of the car i taxed it using the green new keepers supplement part. The post office stamped the barcode of this slip. Anyway now is 2013 so 2 years 2 months later, i do not have a logbook and i do not have tax. So my question is, when i pop to the DVLA to get it all sorted. When i tell them i bought the car in 2010 will they send me a fine for no tax? because i did not declare it sorn and i only taxed it 1 time. It HAS been offroad but not declared. Second question is, i tried to be cheeky and i tried to rub off the post office stamp on my new keepers supplement barcode so i could nip to the post office and tax it for the second time (this time i wanted to sell the car as it was now sorted of its problems). I backed out going as it looked a bit.....dodgey, anyway...will the DVLA accept the green part to get a new log book in my name? even defaced?. This car has been nothing but hassle for me, cursed, jinxed...however you want to call it. I've lost over 4 grand in 2 years trying to rectify the issues without taking the seller to court and the last thing i need is big fines for not taxing (when i didnt have possession of the car most of the time).

Back in the good old days (1970 to 1975) I was offered a job down south (I live on TEESSIDE) The job offer was for a better wage than I could get at home but due to housing costs I had to refuse the job. The employer came back to say they would supplement my housing cost by £45 a week (remember this is 1970's and my wage was £48 a week. I wonder with the cuts that are coming in now how long it will be before an employer that want people to work in areas with more expensive housing will have to up wages or supplement rent for their employees as they had to in the 70's when there were plenty of jobs to go round. dpick
