A couple of weeks ago I acquired a VW camper from a motor dealer (via Ebay, but with a dealer's receipt), with six months (ish) tax & test. All in good faith.
Yesterday the V5 arrived, followed today by a letter from the Post Office telling me the cheque for the tax had bounced and that they want a new payment of £99. Well p*ssed off.
The dealer had not registered the vehicle with DVLA, so it was still in the former keeper's name (and it was his bounced cheque). So it's not really the dealer's fault (though I'll be contacting him anyway). I can't see what comeback I have here.
What is not clear though is whether the £99 will give me a new tax disc or whether they will backdate it. My thinking now is to SORN the bus for a week or so then tax it afresh.
