Sorn?

[Robbie8666]

so I go on line & send V14 & old tax disc off to DVLA, on the V14 it says do not communicate with DVLA until 6 weeks have gone past!
Initial letter dated 16/11/12
Posted tax disc etc 28/11/12
get a letter from DVLA dated 17/12 stating that this is an offence and to avoid prosecution I must pay fine of £100 by 25/1 or £50 by 18/1 unless I either insure my bike or prove it has been sold / stolen etc or if I can prove I SORN'd it!
<< please enclose a copy of the acknowledgement you got from DVLA to confirm this. If you did not recieve confirmation then you are still liable for the offence>>
so after ringing 3 different numbers actually got to speak to a very nice lady at DVLA who confirmed that they had recieved the SORN and the notification shouldn't have been sent and would update the system and also that my TAX disc refund would be sent within 4 weeks

the thing is if I hadn't have had the facilities to beable to do this during works time I would have had to either pay the fine of face prosecution also as I have been proactive in responding to these letters how come there are so many insured vehicles on the roads, why aren't the owners been fined etc....
