SORN

[Tracey]

I declared sorn on my OSF in 2010 and assumed that was it

Just rang them as noticed online it said unlicensed ... They said I need to declare sorn each year.. ( I had no reminders since 2010!!!)

 

I've just declared it SORN on the automated phone line and got the ..there has been a break in your sorn, blah blah fine

 

Now am I going to get fined? Even though the car is tax exempt anyway?

You do have to declare it SORN every year unfortunately but they should send reminders, I always get one for my car that is SORN.

 

Yes it's possible they will send you a fine but wait and see as with your car being tax exempt anyway, they might not.

I think you'll be unlucky to get a fine, but with the DVLA who knows?

 

As said you should get a reminder, maybe check that the address is correct (old address on the system etc)

[Tracey]

Thanks, I hope I don't

 

The address they have is correct as they sent me a SORN reminder in 2010

I have a reminder on my Gmail for cars I have sorn'd. That said They have never failed to remind me that I can give them money should I wish.

That would be unlucky if you do get fined, fingers crossed you don't.

I reckon it will be fine Tracey I don’t see the point in declaring tax except cars sorn anyway lol

I sorned mine in 2009 when i got it, never renewed it or got a reminder and i taxed it for the first time in october. no mention of any fines or anything from anyone so you should be ok

When the sorn thing first came out I got a £80 fine for the not being sorn'd ,though when I sold the car it had tax on it and the new owner denied all knowledge of ownership ,I know it was unreal but I still got the £80 fine that's why since then I make a point of sorning anything a lesson learnt ,good luck in NOT getting the fine
