I received a 'Last Chance' letter without getting the normal notification letter first....If the DVLA have done away with the reminder then they forgot to mention it to anyone, including the Post Office who know nothing about it...
With the Last Chance letter you can't tax your vehicle at the Post Office as the document helpfully doesn't include a barcode...You will have to turn up with your V5C and the Last Chance letter to get the tax.....
DVLA....'Total confusion...Just another service we provide'...:laughing: ....Ian
"It looks like the paper reminder is still in operation."
Yes Ron, a paper reminder service is still in operation (V211 form) which you receive approximately 2 weeks after the Tax has expired. Also, don't forget that even if your Tax rate is zero, and I quote from the form if not re-taxed.. Failure to do so is an offence and you may incur an £80 penalty, or your vehicle could be clamped or impounded.
What another UK Gov't f**k up?...never!! :laughing:
Well I just signed up to the digital scheme, which is simple enough. I will now get an email and text reminder. BUT! It looks like provision for one vehicle only.....I've got about 2 dozen taxed vehicles and motorcycles???? Ron
Now that I'm registered on this new system. I can add vehicles. It's laborious (one at a time with the reg number and the long number off the V5C). I'll just add them now and then as I feel like it. But I've still elected to receive the paper version. Ron
