DVLA crushing vehicles on finance.
Discussion
Well i have had a read of a few things on here, just wanted to let you know this part. HEHEHE. Ok DVLA USE THE ROAD TRAFFIC ACT, DISPOSALE OF VEHICLES, FOR NO ROAD TAX. IF YOU DONT PAY THEY CRUSH THE VEHICLE OR SELL IT ON. I HAVE JUST STOPPED THEM DEAD IN THERE TRACKS. The law. UK law states this. The finance company are the legal owners of any vehicle on finance, untill the last payment has been recieved. Under English law, (quote). To sell on or dispose of anything on finance in the UK & without the finance companies approval. is. (QUOTE). Fraud & Desception. I am due to take them to court soon. I also have the Parliamentry Ombudsman waiting for me to Autherise a full investigation into DVLA,s law breaking. Love to here back on this

Actualy you are wrong there, the court letter i have clearly states this. The taxation of the vehicle & the disposal of a vehicle on finance are now two sepparate issues.
Unfortunately you still owe the finance company the money.Why on earth did you not tax the vehicle, or did the dvla seize the car whilst you were in the post office paying for the tax.
What car was it?
The DVLA will crush the car. You still owe the finance company the money, as you would if you failed to insure it and it was written off.
Tough cheese.
PS I do this for a living.
PPS you will lose in Court, if it gets that far.
PPS congratulations on the most incorrect piece of Law I've ever seen on here, which is saying something.

Nope.
Crushing is the best deterrent I reckon. NO excuse for no tax
Sorry Soovy, I just cannot agree with this.Crushing is the best deterrent I reckon. NO excuse for no tax
By all means confiscate the car and sell it on to someone who is willing to pay RFL, but crushing a perfectly good, potentially rare & valuable car just to be spiteful? Really?
It's like those Thai officials who crushed a Ferrari 456GT because it was stolen in another country and smuggled in without paying import duty etc. - Instead of making an effort to return the car to it's rightful owner, they drove a tracked vehicle over it. IMHO they should have their b
ks cut off and stapled to their bd foreheads...philistines!I agree, a bit of 'common sense' (even though I hate the term) should be used. They should be sent off to auction and the money fed back into the system. Also wouldn't be too much hassle for DVLA to auto-email the finance company to offer the opportunity to pay the outstanding tax and repo the vehicle they have all the details.
Crushing perfectly serviceable vehicles, might get the DVLA some headlines and put the fear into normal law abiding people to check their discs are up-to-date (because DVLA aren't responsible if you don't get a reminder, they don't even have to send one if they don't want to) but it's bad for the environment, bad for the economy and bad for the collective moral of a country where you can face prison for speeding, but will more than likely get a caution for shoplifting and have your Car crushed if you forget to tax it, but get caught drink-driving and you keep it.

Precisely. 
Actually, I seem to recall that they only crush the vehicles that don't sell at auction or are unroadworthy (you know, the sort of dilapidated rustheaps that frequently feature on 'Road Wars' and the like).
