V5/C Lost DVLA Penalty £80
Discussion
Hi
In July I purchased a van and I was handed the V5C slip by the seller which I been returned on the same day. Couple months later I am now receiving letters from DVLA about a failed declaration of V5C as the vehicle is no longer in my possession.
They have asked to me provide proof and I made a copy of the original V5C before sending it now even then at this juncture they are not happy with the evidence. They are demanding that i have to pay the £80. I strongly disagree with their decision as it was not my fault if my post went missing.
Is there anything I can do to challenge this late licensing penalty.

For clarification i purchased the van on the 25/07 and posted the v5c part 9 on the same day. I dont understand if DVLA never sends their mail recorded delivery i dont understand why we have to do it. I have the photocopy of the part 9 which I made a copy before sending it.
I have spoken to the enforcement centre and they are sending me a dispute form which will take 7 days. The letter I recieved yesterday about fine it was dated on the 11th Nov but I recieved it on the 16th November

but i did send it, because i do not have postage to prove it i did send the v5 on the same day i bought my van. Before i received this letter i did write to them that I send the v5 back in July but they are not interested.
They are millions that send v5 using RM and I am sure not everyone keeps proof of postage

In July I did a part exchange with a motor trader, I completed the part 9 as I was no longer the registered keeper of that vehicle. I immediately posted the part 9 to DVLA to inform them that I am no longer the owner of the vehicle. It would appear that DVLA has not recieved my completed slip and thus imposing a fine for failing to inform that my vehicle had been sold to a motor trader.
Hope that clarifies any confusion
