Default fined by dvla for failing to notify change of keeper

Hi all after a bit of advise really, as above I've been fined for failure to notify change of keeper and on top of that charged 2 months road tax even though I sent off the log book, I did cancel the direct debit for the tax and as far as I'm aware I fulfilled my obligations yet when I appealed to the dvla they say I supplied insufficient evidence that I posted the logbook, no where can I see does it say that I have to retain proof of postage and from what I've read on the internet the onus is on them to prove I didn't post it not me to prove that I did, I'm not tight and if I was at fault I would take it on the chin but I don't want to pay a fine for something I'm not guilty of, also as far as I'm aware they have no statutory power to issue fines as that must come from a magistrate, can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track with this,
Many thanks
Liam
