A debt collection agency has no powers other than intimidation to try and recover money owed. It needs a county court judgement before bailifs can collect money and property to recover debt. If you are sure that all the paperwork was done I would write to the DVLA confirming you are not the keeper and state that after this time it is unreasonable for them to expect you to provide evidence to that fact. Paperwork gets lost and thrown out. Ask for confirmation that your name has been taken off the registration and that you trust that will be the end of the matter. If they don't comply then tell them to take it to the county court where you will be happy to put your case before a judge and will counter sue for costs and harassment.

papasmurf, how did you manage to check that no. so quickly? I am sorry to go off thread but I have been trying to get details of two pre-Great War cars regn. nos. AK 269 and AK 145 family photos of which I have recently inherited. Any tips would be welcome. An extremely loooong shot, I know!

Hello again --------- Have a word with the BMF ( British Motorcycle Federation ) ----- http://www.bmf.co.uk/ ----- I seem to remember this was one of the scenarios that they predicted a few years back when DVLA decided to become more "On-Line" etc. with their approach............As you appear to have lost or mislaid the relevant paperwork during your house move, you might suggest (in writing---with a duplicate kept for reference) that DVLA take a look at their ( Electronic) copy of the V955 they sent to you, which will confirm that the transaction took place........... ( I'm assuming that you did in fact receive one of these forms ??.......)....

Hi All. Update part 97.Many, Many thanks for all your inputs, I just hope you don't have to deal with the b*st*rds at DVLA, who smirk and preen at you and treat you as a piece of sh*t not worthy of there time. Thought I paid their wages, though? Could be wrong on that, maybe it is the wages of sin or Beelzebub? I did a bit of lateral thinking. I found, in a deep archive an e-mail to a guy who I believed to be a third party in the sale, ie, I had a bike for sale, he wanted the bike, somebody else paid for it. It seems I was sort of correct. He is the guy who bought the bike, not Ashley. Ashley was acting for him in the best possible taste. The guy who bought it is a well known private businessman. I recovered his email address and pinged one off to him. Tonight, he has called me twice, once to ask what the issue is and secondly to confirm that he has records of the complete transaction, the person he subsequently sold it to and ALL records from DVLA. The BASTARDS!! He is looking forward to going to court and only wants a small cut of the damages I have now employed a solicitor, through the RAC, to claim. The BASTARDS!! Chris.

Addendum. Mr V*ll*N*** of Priors Norton, your bike is neither taxed, MOT'd or insured..... Unless you have sold it, in which case you need to tell the DVLA. Oh, don't worry, I have done that for you. If you get a letter, perhaps we can join in the hunt for the *unts. Chris

Good Lord! I have spent the last 2 hours tonight on this subject, let alone the hours to try to sort it with DVLA. I have found literally THOUSANDS of people trying to fight DVLA on suspect or wrong or plainly ILLEGAL rulings that they STILL try to take to court!I have no beef apart from the one I am trying to deal with, but WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON? Honestly, every court in the land seems to have DVLA twats trying to get money out of people who would rather pay off something they don't owe because it is easier than dealing with a @unt.
