VT'ing through Covid Crisis/Lockdown

[TINY TOTS]

Sent them another reminder email then got a letter asking the the remainder of the finance (£150 which i knew about). Paid it asap and got an email confirming collection next Wednesday! Be glad to get rid of the thing.

It will be socially distanced - have to leave the keys and documents outside and I will not have to sign for it - which is a good thing! I am going to valet and polish it on the Tuesday and take loads of timestamped photos. Car is in really good condition apart from the usual wear and tear of a 4 year old car.

so is your car not taxed? mine isn't as I put a sorn on it 12 months ago. I was going to tax it the day before they were due to pick it up then get it back of dvla

For info, I’ve just received an email from VW. At long last they acknowledge there is no requirement to insure the car. However, they have added that the vehicle should not be driven under any circumstance, locked, and stored, where possible, on private land. If the road fund licence is expiring it’s to be renewed and they will refund this. However, my concern is I’m due approx £130 refund via DVLA as I still have 6 months road tax left. This is obviously reducing by the month. I would imagine other car finance companies will follow suit.

have they collected your car yet?

No, I insured it for 1 extra month but did a SORN.

You can fill it in, and hand the slip over to the agent but if you can, you might want to do it online just in case the registered keeper is not updated promptly and you could receive any fines or penalties in the meantime.
