if u tell the dvla in a nice letter that it was scrapped then u will be fine and they will send u a letter to say u no longer own the car (no need to get a v5)

expect a fine for not updating ur paperwork tho (i did )

and then when a car gets rung up on the id and sold it will be took off em by old bill and they will get done

well thats how it is sposed to happen neways
