DVLA Requisition

Hi All,

I need some help/advice please?



I've received a DVLA Requisition for failure to comply with insurance requirements.



I posted (without proof) my SORN application to the DVLA in plenty of time. I then received a 'Failure to Insure' letter asking for £100 penalty (£50 if paid early etc)



Bizarrely (2 days later), I then received the SORN Acknowledgement which was dated AFTER the date on the prior penalty letter (1 week exactly)



I had had sent this SORN application weeks before so can only think either a big delay at DVLA or delayed/lost in the postal system for a while?!!



I sent the DVLA a letter explaining this but was sent a letter back refusing my claim because the date on the SORN is a week later than the date with no insurance etc? They want me to pay the £100 penalty or face court. So I did nothing and here I am with the Requisition in front of me 😞



I am not happy about this as you can imagine!



If I plead not guilty, do I have a leg to stand on?? Can any of you lovely people offer me some advice.



If you need any more information from me just ask.



Many thanks in advance brilliant people,



Tim
