Anyone ever been in the position where they've traded a vehicle in and then received a fine for the vehicle you used to own? This just happened to me, Tyne tunnels are the mob chasing me for money, even though I've provided evidence I traded the vehicle in, it seems the dealer have not put the change of vehicle through until a week or two after. I've contacted the dealer to sort it and sent an appeal to Tyne tunnels, who say I need to get a letter from the DVLA to them prior to the 14th of June or the appeal is cancelled and the DVLA's automated phone line say I need to write to them about this and it can take 6 weeks to respond. Basically an impossible deadline.
Now I'm a reasonable person, who's taken the appropriate action and it seems no one gives a f**k. Getting pretty angry now, tempted to drive through to the dealers and have a go at them tbh.
I'm also tempted just to leave it until court actions appears, but tbh I've too much going on in my life for that sort of aggro right now.
Anyone have any pearls of wisdom on such matters?
