Ok my parents called me to tell me theyve had a letter notifying me of a fine from the DVLA for failing to notify them of the change of owner of a car.
The thing is this car is a RS2000 I either sold or scrapped (I really cant remember which) circa 1999-2000 (hence the letter coming to my parents address as thats where I lived back then), I know the rules changed in 2002, Im 99% certain that the law that I would be held to is the law that applied at the time of sale, not the current rules.
But Ive got no memory at all of what the rules or procedures were for selling cars back then, I want to contact the DVLA as soon as possible to see what can be done, but I remember absolutely nothing about the sale, who i sold it to, where I sold it, or anything. Im about 90% certain I would have followed the rules inforce at the time, but obviously somethings not gone right as they are chasing me now.
Anyone know where I stand, and what the correct procedure was back then, and what the penalties were for not following them?
