If only they sent out reminders to renew your road tax..

But to which address did they send it?
If, indeed, it was delivered, or sent at all?
Or, perhaps, the DVLA lost the renewall?
I think there was a recent case where it was found that the DVLA are so bad at loosing mail that if you tell them you sent a renewall, but they lost it, they can't fine you an overdue fee.

Oh man, it's stuff like this that makes you wish that there was some easily-visible way of spotting when your tax disc was coming close to being out of date or you could renew quickly and easily online.

Eventually
After many calls they told me that because it was overdue I couldn't renew over the 'phone or online.

Ended up walking to the Post Office at the end of our street who told me I couldn't renew there either. I was begging to pay them but no-one wanted it.

See now, if you'd have renewed on time you could have saved yourself all this needless anger.

Yeah, it's easy to tell when the DVLA recieved it...
You just send it off and they never loose it...
The first thing most people know about the DVLA loosing their tax application is that they recieve something telling them they didn't pay.
They may have managed to get their communications to you, and may have recieved yours, but that doesn't mean they don't loose a significant ammount.
