hlsolicitors chasing me for £80for dvla for a car that i sorned

[padderscot]

hello anyone i need some advice on how to proceed

 

i was given a car by my mum and

 

 

i was going to do repairs

 

 

i registered in the wifes name as it was going to be hers a surprise no less but it was going to be too expensive to fix

 

i got a letter from dvla

a tax reminder s

 

 

called the number to sorn went through the process and thought that was it

 

 

two weeks later i got another letter to tax or sorn

 

 

i did process again and thought that was that

 

 

i then got a third letter stating the same

 

 

i went through the process all over again. and surprise surprise

 

 

i am now getting threatening letters from hlsolicitors acting on behalf of sigma red

my wife has mental health issues at the moment after a near fatal car crash and

this was going to be a gift for her to try and get her back in a car

she is suffering depression and struggling to deal with issues

 

 

i contacted sigma red and told them of situation

they told me to put in writing and they would get it written off

 

 

i sent a letter explaining what has happened and

i am still getting letters saying they will take me to court if not paid in 14 days.

 

 

how do i fight this and

what is the best course of action to take

the car is now gone as it was going to cost too much for me to repair

 

 

i was quoted £2500 for repair and value of car on the road was around £800

so was cheaper to buy another car please advise

If you have no proof of these phone calls I don't think you will get much sympathy from the DVLA.

 

Was the phone call to make a declaration of SORN or just an enquiry ?

 

Sigma saying to put your story in a letter means they have conned you into giveing them the admission they wanted that you had a car that wasn't sorn declared.

[padderscot]

it was on the dvla sorn decleration automated service

[padderscot]

and surely the calls will be on my bt bill somewhere even though they are freephone

[padderscot]

also the wife never knew about this car as it was going to be a surprise and

she never knew it was in her name

 

 

i have 6 cars at home and hers was in the back of my garage under cover

 

 

she would never have seen

 

 

i am not loaded by the way

 

 

my most expensive car is worth £1200 which is the one i use

 

 

the rest are all sorn and

 

 

if i was to sell them they would equate to scrap value or spares or repair

[padderscot]

l just have issues selling things lol hoarder and live in the middle of nowhere on private estate
