MR PAUL HAYWARD? from preston/coventry area i think but cant really remember.
hes the guy i bought the bandit frame off to build the fighter, well he didnt SORN it like he was meant to and now i have to pay the fine!
C*NT
im growing tired of people shafting me
I’m amazed that you have to do that. Was it from Ebay you bought the frame? If so, can’t you prove that it wasn’t/isn’t a roadworthy bike?
daft isnt it?
the letter states that as im the registered keeper im liable for the fine as the tax disc ran out October 2009 and no SORN was declared…well im sorry but i received the frame in the post after the disc had run out so surely the old keeper is liable as it ran out while he was the registered keeper of the vehicle…im not paying this.
im going to take a picture of said vehicle send it with a letter telling them all this and if they still think im liable to pay then they can take me to court.with regard to your question ID whether its roadworthy or not its still classed as a vehicle, what makes up a bike in the DVLA’s books is a frame with number, a logbook and a number plate. but you do have a point as it cant be used anywhere near a road for its intended use. their just robbers!
also theyre trying to charge me £11 quid for admin charges or something else that i cant remember the technical term for..i wonder if we could all start charging them for our petrol/time when buying a tax disc at a post office branch, dont think itd quite work like that though….what a shame
so im upto £91.00 for Mr Ass Face’s mistake

https://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/contactus/if_things_go_wrong.aspxBen the previous owner may have told the truth. When there is a change of owner the new owner has to re-SORN. I know this because when I bought the Balde from Gordy I had to SORN it even though it was already SORN’d. The fine letter just details the last time it was taxed not the previous SORN info.
This is a quote from the DVLA website
“When a vehicle changes hands, the SORN declaration is not transferred; a declaration is required from the new keeper. This is to ensure that DVLA are aware of changes to the vehicle record and have an accurate update of the new keeper’s details.”
