What have the DVLA done????
Discussion
Arrrgh, after being astounded at how quickly they go tmy new driving licence to me after moving house, good old DVLA seem to have reverted to type and f
ked up a treat.
So I filled in the change of address thing on all my V5c's. Sure enough within a couple of days I've got new ones back through all showing the new address. This was a week ago.
Got home yesterday to a letter telling me I'm no longer the registered keeper of my TVRand a cheque for £90-something quid, which I'm assuming is a refund for road tax, evn though there was nothing explaining what this mystery cheque is!
Have the DVLA gone and "transfered" the car to me, cancelling the tax as per the new rules (rather than just registered a new address), I'm guessing this is what they have done.
Is my TVR now untaxed?
Will I be getting this for my other two cars? (I definitely didnt tick box 12 by the way!)
Am I pissing in the wind trying to get them to sort this out? Should I just take the "extra owner" on the chin and re-tax the car?
Wont I now be getting an automatic fine for not taxing the new car that I have just acquired?

This happened to me some years ago when I notified them of my change of address.
Their records were amended to show that I sold my TVR to a guy with the exact same name who lived at my new address.
Left arm unaware what the right arm is doing. As another poster has said, an extra `owner` on the V5.Their records were amended to show that I sold my TVR to a guy with the exact same name who lived at my new address.
Oh well, it could be worse. The call centre could be in Bangladesh where you could be speaking to assistants called `Robert` and `Mary` (apparently) .
You're not the only PH'er this has happened to recently

Seems like someone at the DVLA is ticking the wrong boxes when processing the paperwork

Dude nothing the dvla do surprises me any more I sent my license back to have an old ban removed instead they removed my category a (motorcycle entitlement) and left the thing I asked them to remove on there
Haha, that's excellent, just pick a piece of information and delete it!

I recall that a Police motorcyclist had his motorcycle entitlement deleted under similar circumstances.

The very reason I photocopy my documents when I send them to a shambles such as the DVLA...They insisted that he'd never had that entitlement and told him that he'd have to take the test again.
