Post subject: SOD SORN!!! I've got around the b******s at last
Afternoon all. Good news - if, like me, you have a vehicle to declare SORN on, you can do it online, or over the phone, or at a post office, using the reminder form.
Except you can't.
The DVLA has removed the "reference number which can be found in the yellow box" from the reminder form. I suspect that now they are charging £19 for a duplicate V5, some clever sod discovered that if you can't find the V5 when you need it, you are going to have to either cough up the £19, or better yet, pay the SORN fine. HOWEVER - and this is the good bit - what they carefully don't tell you is the the 16-digit reference number which the website and phone service asks for, is actually still on the reminder form - hidden inside the "post office use only" bar code ref no. I noticed this when looking at last year's SORN form for my motorbike. So, if like me, you have been tearing your hair out with the sheer brick-wall stupidity of the DVLA's services, try using the website (or phone service) with the number from within the bar code reference number as follows:
The ref number is 24 digits (6 groups of 4). The first seven are the identifier for the service - ignore them. The ones you want are digits 8 to 23.
eg If your "For PO use only" reference number was
1212 2323 3434 4545 5656 6767
, you want 3 3434 4545 5656 676, giving you your 16 digits.
It worked for both of the cars I've just SORNed. I can't guarantee it - I can't guarantee anything with regards to the DVLA, they seem to model themselves on Vogons - but it worked OK for me! Any problems, I'll let you all know ASAP.
PS Did anyone find the person who voted for Tony Blair? I've asked everyone, no-one's admitting it.... lol
