SMALL THING THAT P*SSES ME OFF

[POORCARDEALER]

We get as a business several parking/speeding summons a month though the post, as DVLA info isnt up to date and log books /change of owner details etc takes several weeks to update..........I think if local councils(parking) want co operation from business to help them, the least they can do is send a Stamped Address Envolope..........why should I use my money to help them milk the motorist (+ all the time filling in their forms)

Rant over.

[stuthemong]

dont put a stamp on it, they'll get charged?

Try it

park legally? & use the human eyeball (mk1) for spotting cameras?

[Swoxy]

They're not from him.
They're from the previous registered keeper of the car.
You should use the human eyeball (Mk 1) to read more carefully

Get some old bits of rusty steel, wrap them in newspaper and post them to the council concerned in a large brown envelope with no stamps. Cost them at least £3 each time and you get to remove those old rusty bits of crap in your garage.

I sold a car some time ago and sent my part of the old V5 off as documented on the form, was suprised to 4 months after having sold it to get a speeding ticket, I was shocked that because the new owner never sent the part of the form back it was still in 'my name' even though I told them ages ago.

Problem is your dealing with people who don't care about you, just doing the 9-5 and not really bothered how much it anoys you...

It's purely the sellers responsibility to send the form off to the DVLA, the buyer just gets the small tear off section until the new one is sent to them.

I don't understand how you would get these for cars you've sold, unless you're registering them all in your name before selling them on?

Because the ticket might have gone originally to the person named on the V5, however he might have p/ex'd it in at A, who then sold to B etc etc, it just ends up coming down and down the line..........when the yellow "sold to the motor trade" slip is filled in, the DVLA know the car is floating about in the trade but dont have a record(or its not on their computers) of actually whoowns it currently, hence tickets go back to person named on V5.................its a nightmare

[Hooli]

yeah ok ok i misread it.
im just surprised the dvla manage to send the things to you. it took me four attempts & about 6 months to get a V5c for one bike i brought, apprently the dvla just bin them rather than read them. its the only explination i can think of.

[Puggit]

We just had a totally unjustified parking ticket (I started a thread) and again, no stamp on the envelope. I was buggered if I was going to post them my defence with a stamp on it.

Luckily you can appeal online with Reading council
