Just had a letter through his morning from the DVLA telling me to paya £40 penalty and £27.50 in arrears of duty, for my old car which i traded in to get my Lexus. When i picked the Lexus up, i had all the paperwork for my old car, and i asked the salesman what i needed to do with the blue bit of the V5. He thanked me for remembering to bring all the paperwork and told me not to worry as he would send everything away to the DVLA. Potentially he didn't, but where do i stand now. Will i just pay the fines and keep my mouth shut, or do i get in touch with the dealers and try and get them to pay it (even though it will probably be my word against theirs).
Any comments would be appreciated.
thanks
Ally
