So... James delivered the MV6 to me in mid December and my intention was to SORN it over Christmas then tax &insure it January. One way or another it has taken till now to get around to sorting out insurance quotes but I still don't have the V5 from DVLA so I thought I ought to try declaring SORN online.
This is what comes up :( so I have to assume that they lost the change of keeper slip that James sent them >:(
GOV.UK
Make a SORN
BETA This is a new service – your feedback will help us to improve it.
Tell us you’re taking your vehicle off the road
Unable to use service
Unfortunately you cannot use this service yet as the previous keeper of the vehicle has not told DVLA that you are the new keeper.
You should either:
Wait until you receive the V5C vehicle registration certificate (log book) in your name, and then use the reference number from it to make a SORN online
or complete the forms V890 (make a Statutory Off Road Notification), V62 (application for a vehicle registration certificate) and send with your V5C/2 to DVLA Swansea.

Has James 100% sent off the change of keeper slip to DVLA....?
-
When we changed address last May, both V5C's were back within a fortnight.
-
Same for us, a couple of V5C's being changed for various reasons since Sept 2016, new car purchase, sale of car, change of keeper. In all 3 cases, either the V5C or confirmation of transfer (for the car we sold) were back in about 2-3 weeks tops.
Sounds like something might be up :-\

Well, he said he would do it but he has had a lot on since then................
James?
-
Now insured & taxed for a year. :y
-
Normally around 14 days, sometimes up to a month, fairly common for the whole thing to drop off or gets lost in the system though.
-
Had the same when I sold my elite estate, they said they had not received the form so I called and then had to send them a letter, buggers still had £50 of tax out of my bank which I have never had back. Even after them sending me the slip to say I am no longer the owner for the correct date.
-
doing them online now take less than a week to get the logbook.
-
DVLA either lost the V5 I posted to them when I sold a car 12 months or so ago or the RM lost it.....
Either way it was a lot of messing about to get it sorted.....I had to write to them informing them I had sold it and who to....
The buyer had to send a form off...V7 something I think.....
6 months later ish it was sorted......however I never got the 5 months car tax back that was left on it when I sold it....but didn't chase it, as I knew the new owner hadn't taxed it, as he didn't have the V5 (which I don't think you have to have to tax it) but didn't want him to get a nasty surprise in the post for an untaxed vehicle.
-
The DVLA sent me a reminder that my Omega wasn't insured, was a letter with th letter head having the ASKMID name at the top....
It went something like 'According to ASKMID.COM you are the registered keeper of Vauxhall Omega ..... it shows it isn't insured and is an offence to continue to use a vehicle on the road without relevant insurance etc....'
Thought nothing of it, me thinking its the ASKMID website trying scare tactics or something, so ignored it...
3 Months later I get a letter from DVLA stating that I have been given a £100 fine for not insuring my car (but it was showing as taxed)....
This was just before Christmas 2016...
I scrapped my Omega back in August last year so obviously it wont be insured... I told them I had scrapped it when I sent off the rlevant paperwork to say my Omega is now gone for scrap....
I had to send proof to them of where it was being scrapped, who scrapped it, which company etc....
I sent them as much proof as I could find, including a picture of it on the back of a flatbed truck with no wheels on it, no front or rear bumper and no interior with a date stamp of 1/8/2016....
They casually wrote back to inform me that the fine has be removed and the car is now registered as a scrap vehicle....
oppswits...!!!
-
When I bought the V70 we filled in and sent off the relevant paperwork after some weeks[at least a couple of months]DVLA got in touch with lad I bought it from and said they couldn't read the writing on the relevant bits of the V5,so could he get in touch with the buyer[me] and get them to apply for a new V5-paying £25 for the priviledge which they'd then refund when it was all sorted out-so new V5 applied and paid for this arrived inside a fortnight-I'm still waiting for the refund :D
-
Hi Andy,
I sent them a registered letter today to inform them to get their arse into gear :y (And to cover my arse, for when they kindly try and fine me for "not informing them of a change of keeper".
Believe me, it's in my best interests, as the b@stards are still charging me the tax each month, to date!
-
Thanks James
It hasn't caused me a problem (yet) but it feels like a cynical ploy to keep the revenue coming in when a car is legitimately off road but between owners >:(

Cancel the DD
I cancel the DD every time I sell a car . . . that way they can't keep taking the tax each month. Seems to me the system does not work to well . . . seller is relying on "Royal Fail" to deliver the sent off V5 to DVLA. The only way the seller knows that it has been received is & when the confirmation "eventually" arrives back . Have had these arrive several weeks after car was sold ::) ::)
-
Why wouldn't you cancel the direct debit when you sell it? Hell you can even sorn it online before the ink is dry on the V5...

Bought a vehicle
You must tax the vehicle before driving it, or declare that it’s off the road (a SORN). The tax isn’t transferred to you when you buy the vehicle.
The person you bought the vehicle from should post the log book (V5C) to DVLA to tell them that you’re the new keeper.
If you don’t receive a new log book within 6 weeks, you can register your vehicle yourself.
If the seller gives you the log book
Fill in Section 6 of the log book with your name and address, then post it to DVLA.
DVLA aims to send out a new V5C to you within 2 to 4 weeks of getting the old V5C from the seller.
If you don’t get it within 4 weeks:
complete form V62 - ‘Application for a vehicle registration certificate’
send it to DVLA with the V5C/2 given to you by the seller - if you don’t send in the V5C/2, you’ll have to pay a fee

As well as buying new ink for the printer and spending forty thousand pounds on 1 stamp as seemingly that's what they cost these days >:(

Not that this will help, I sent my driveing license off a 3-4 weeks ago as proof of ID for an upgrade to drive heavy vans etc as (I'm currently limited to 3 tones) and it's not back yet.
They were quick enough sending it back with a problem but now it's disappeared by the look of it with no update.
I've emailed them and look forward to reading there excuses.

I have previously bought a car with only the green slip, current MoT and a photocopy of the V5 showing a private plate...
Had to drive it home, so straight to the nearest post office and all it took was a V62, the dd mandate and job done.
Chassis number matched the old V5 and the reg on the MoT matched the green slip, so everything corroberated 8)
Had to resubmit the V62 5 weeks later because the bloody Post Office I went to lost it though ::)
-
Positive result today :y the new V5C just dropped through the letter box.
I don't know what was in James' letter but it appears to have had the desired result :)
So is that the end of the matter? Will james get 2 months tax refunded? Will they try to fine me for not managing to declare SORN? ::)

The letter was along the lines of, "OI, I told you I no longer own this car, and I sent you the V5, so don't you dare try and fine me for not telling you. PS why are you still taking my cash for the tax" ;D
