I always sorn my M/H in the winter months and this year, was unable to use the van, for various reasons until June. I retaxed the van at 9.46 AM via the internet the morning of 5th June and set off around 90 minutes later for Kendal.
Yesterday I received notification that I was being fined £439 as my van was spotted at 11.54 AM on 5th June and wasn't taxed! Luckily, I had received an e-mail verifying my transaction and that the payment had been processed and giving me a reference number. I am very annoyed about this. As the transaction taxes the vehicle right away, I cannot understand why the DVLA's computer appears not to know that the vehicle was already taxed. I have filled in the appeal on the back of the notification of the penalty's form and notified them of the reference number of the transaction and sent them a very irate letter. I was wondereing if anyone else has had this problem?
