And that's exactly why I'm paying someone to do the few bits needed for my MOT tomorrow... I know my luck

[jonnycool]

At least they were truthful when they told you why they were pulling you, I half expected when you mentioned that your boy was checking on his phone, that the tax was up to date and the reason for pulling you was a load of bull..

..as I suspect a lot of pulls are

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

That is a very good point, the reminder should be with you, if not I suspect they will want to charge you from September and the van is not SORN...... :-/ :-/

Lots of motors round here in wolverhampton have that nice new yellow boot attachment the dvla give you..... they put 2 on the neighbours cars yesterday and several others on the adjoining streets.. busy little bunch during the credit crunch....

I suspect it is a wheel clamp for untaxed / un-sorned cars.

Back in days of yore when paying for your tax by cheque and the amount exceeded the card guarantee....


..... a bounced cheque resulted in a tax disc being declared void by DVLA.  When the ability by Police to check PNC with the earliest of info from DVLA, there was a marker placed against the car reg asking for disc seizure and return to DVLA.  And the car driver getting nicked for no tax.

As things have moved on LOTS since this time, could be a similar scenario as the 'admin' fee is still outstanding and, on the day of the stop, upto date info from DVLA was not available....

sending a reminder out by post is not guaranteed to everyone though dont forget, this is just a service they provide to as many people they can so you may not necessarily get one

as you've shown on an ANPR as not having tax then its possible they have it as voided, meaning you're still in possession of a tax disc that you know is legal and appears legal, but to them now its just a piece of paper

the other worrying thing is, if indeed DVLA have your van down as untaxed, you may get a penalty through the post for failing to SORN it. i would ring them immediately if you haven't already done so, and if needs be, produce receipt from the card payment at the time

Van tax costs £110 for 6 months, I got charged £135.00 on the 23rd of September by DVLA Maidstone. So they've had the money and taken an extra £25 for paying by card.

[russ0205]

Paid by cheque for mine at the local dvla office it took them four weeks to cash it, better than any credit or debit card i say,

Fair enough.     I was referring back to your initial post regarding the 'admin fee'.

.....

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. 

 

[Del Boy]

Yes mate I know I was just clarifying the £25 extra, do you think they would void it over the £2.50? Saying that it has come up taxed before because I checked, and that letter was ages ago now  :-?
