DVLA 'No ASN Required' "Requisition"
Greetings,
I'm just hoping you guys can shed some light upon this series of events.
Back on the 23rd of May 2015 I delivered my P/X car to the dealership where it would stay until the new vehicle was ready for collection and the p/x to be disposed of by way of auction.
The new vehicle was collected on 20 June 2015. All of the necessary paperwork was dealt with at the main dealer. All went well for a few months, eventually I received correspondence from the DVLA that I was driving the vehicle without valid Vehicle Excise Duty. After re-notifying them that I had ceased to be the owner and keeper since the 23rd of May 2015 they eventually gave me a small and unexpected refund on the remaining VED based on the date of transfer to the dealership.
Yesterday I have received a 'you are required' letter to attend a magistrates court the other side of the country. I've been in contact with DVLA over the phone regarding this and the fact that they have previously given a refund and the two monkeys manning the phones that day where as much use as a chocolate fireguard.
Their argument is that I'm somehow responsible for the inner workings of the Post Office once a document has left my hands and they cant/wont comment on the fact that they have previously confirmed that I was not the owner/keeper after 20 June 2015.
I'm planning on filling the "not guilty" part back, along with a copy of the dated invoice that confirms when the vehicle was traded in.
Do you have any other advice to offer regarding this matter?
