Road Tax/VED/Road Fund?

[Smurfsarepeopletoo]

So I was payng the above via DD monthly, and decided I wanted to pay it in one go, So I cancelled the DD and was waiting until the end of the month to start again.

This was back in january, and was going to pay to start in feb, but when I checked in feb, it still shows as taxed until 1st Jul, and currently it still shows as taxed until 1st July, I have had notification from them about the DD being cancelled, but its still showing as taxed.

Is this an issue with the DVLA website? Would the reg flag up on ANPR, or would it show as taxed still? not used the car for a while as now WFH, so is this something that people are possibly doing to get away with not paying tax, set up to pay by DD, cancel after the first month, and then drive for the next 11 for free, and without risk of being caught?

So I cancelled it a few days before the end of the month, thinking ive already paid that month with the DD and then I will start it from the next month, didnt have that option, so was waiting until the start of the month to tax it.

Looking at the Failed DD Reminder, its saying that they are giving me chance to tax it before changing it to untaxed, I just wouldnt have expected it to take this long
