There I was driving home earlier from a little drive around, anyway Hawkeye (Police Merc Sprinter parked in a lay-by), obviously it was that which picked me up, anyway I get further down the single carriage way, see a police Skoda stopped in a little junction to my left, as I passed him he pulled out.

Anyway he gave it some to catch me up, and then slowed when he got behind me I was on the inside he was on the outside,  then slowed and pulled in behind me. Now I've had a lot of dealing with the Police lately so I thought shit what have I done? Anyway he flashes his lights and I pull over, woman copper (Very nice  ) got out and said your van is coming up as untaxed! Anyway I said well it shouldn't do, it's taxed until the end of February, she had a look at the tax disc, and said "it's ok, probably just our system out of date, all your insurance and everything checks out fine".

So then I got let go, my youngest son gets on his phone to check a site which tells you when it's taxed until, it says: Tax Status - Unlincensed since 01-09-2010. I bought the tax, the day after I got the van which was in September from the DVLA office of all places. Anyway I paid by card, which they also charged extra for I might add.

The only thing I can think of is, when I did get the tax they charged me the full amount, plus money for paying by card, but about a week later they said the cashier didn't charge me the £2.50 admin fee, I thought her mistake I'll leave it. Never had a problem until today though. So technically every ANPR camera I drive by will ping and I'll get pulled. Also it needs tax at the end of this month, I'm hoping they don't try and back date it, but if they do it'll be going to court.

renewed my road tax online during december
first tax disc got lost in the post 
reported it so they sent me a replacement with the wrong details on 
got my third one from the local dvla office 
just checked my bank statement for december and guess what ................ no admin charge for the card transaction  :-?

i will await a tug from the rozzers

hmmm I might be in the same boat here :-/

..... Anyway I paid by card, which they also charged extra for I might add. ......

They charge for using a credit card but not if you use a debit card. 

[Kevin Wood]

If you pay by debit card you can avoid the admin fee.

..and the rest sounds about right for a public sector IT system.

 .......... and they took their time to get their act together for debit cards. My road tax used to account for one of a handful of cheques I wrote in a year.

Yeah it was a credit card  They defiantly charged me extra though because I remember nigh on crying at the time

You should have had a tax reminder through the post by now if it runs out end of this month, if not, i'd say contact the DVLA as soon as possible to make sure they're aware you are taxed

Scary stuff. In the world we are heading for you would have been stopped (by surface missile) your vehicle remains scrapped and you thrown in prison.

Your embedded chip would show up forever as a criminal with no right of removal as even the European Court of Appeal has been abolished.

Good old civil servants and they will give themselves a financial pat on the back for genuinely working so hard.
