I had this over a lost logbook from my first 306 and got done for "failing to notify of change of keeper". Unfortunately from a legal perspective the DVLA are and always have been a law unto themselves, you can appeal any fine or decision they make, but they hear their own appeals so no-one ever wins, and there is no independent body appeals can be referred to for a fair decision like with parking tickets. There is also no regulatorory body to check up on the DVLA or to ensure they treat people fairly like for example the financial ombudsman. They are the be all and end all of licensing and registration and they never allow their judgment to be challenged or questioned, more often than not they don't even read appeals, just send out a generic refusals letter and rub their hands together knowing they are now going to get even more money out of you.
And no such thing as innocent till proven guilt with them either. They always kop out and explain away their failures by saying the onus is on you to follow up with them if you receive no confirmation letter etc. Like we all have nothing better to do than chase around after a incompetent government funded organisation who already ra*e us for £££
