When i bought my shell off Ryan it came with the SORN declaration as he had declared it.

I recieved me V5 promptly but never have i had a tax reminder etc

this monring i got a £40 fine + £27 duty

I tried ringing the office were the letter came from and its an automated answer machine

tried ringing DVLA Swansea and they are "not allowed to discuss fines" and offered to give me the office that issued the fine's phone number - back to the automated answer machine.

My cars been off the road as im rebuilding it, had i known i had to re-declare it sorn i would have but i have not recieved any notification at all, and i thought it was SORN for a year from the date it was declared.

anyone had anything similar or got any info ?
