When I left the UK last year I brought my car & bike with me. As I was no longer resident of the UK I did not inform the UK licensing department that my vehicles were exported. I did not declare the vehicles off road as they were still on the road - just wearing Irish plates. I had resolved all my bills etc, told those who I cared about where I was going and left. A few weeks ago an old neighbour called me to let me know that I had a ccj (he collected stray post) so I went dowen the route to find that I had been taken to court for not taxing my vehicles in the UK. As I was no longer a resident I told them where to stuff it - the vehicles were taxed whilst on british roads - they are since taxed on Irish roads and I have used them on Irish plates in the UK. Whilst I really don't give a flying * about UK DVLA and their myriad of rules & legislation I'm wondering if I have to pay to clear these ccj's - purely from the perspective of keeping a clean nose. Or, if I wait 2 more years can I escape from poor credit rating and stuff the petty inded jobs worths!
