In january i sold a car and posted off the log book, when i didn't receive confirmation i called the DVLA who said i needed to write in again, which i did.

once again no confirmation was sent, so i emailed DVLA and told them that way, they sent a reply saying they can't accept emails as proof and i needed to write in yet again.
after writing in a total of 5 times i gave up due to circumstances in my personal life.

today i have received a letter asking me to attend court for not informing them of change of keeper.

what do i do now? i wrote 5 times, and find it very hard to belive they never received any of the letters, with hind sight i should have sent it recorded, but it's a bit late for that now

Update.

I wrote to DVLA and told them I was going not guilty, and quoted a lot of the stuff from the linked threads. But they decided to take it to court anyway.

Today I got to court, and they asked how I was pleading.

When I told them not guilt, they again asked why. As soon as I started talking about the interpretation act, they decided to withdraw the case.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Can you and are you going to claim costs?
My understanding is this, becouse the trial never happened there are no costs for either party in the eyes of the court, so no costs can be claimed.

I may be wrong, and if i am i will happily stand corrected.
