DVLA fine, is it worth fighting.

Thing is, the DVLA say you are supposed to notify them of any change of details or status of the car ie. scrapped. If, for instance, you were to post away the V5 with the tax disc and a declaration of the vehicle being scrapped, it's not your responsibility to chase up the DVLA to make sure it has been done. In fact you would have served your side of the bargain by sending the paperwork away, fulfilling your statutory obligations.

I'm still facing this issue with them over the old GTi, i even have a photo trail of the guys turning up, cutting up the car and loading it onto a flatbed. Yet for some reason they still seem to think i'm liable for 12 months' tax on it when the car was quite blatantly in a million pieces on the back of a van.
