SORN sucks - it's just another money-making scam designed to persuade people not to hang on to older vehicles.

Given all the data they have / have access to I'm surprised they don't send out e-mails or similar. cheap, with very little admin time involved.
IIRC I got a letter reminding me I hadn't declared my old Corsa as SORN, about 5 months after I'd sold her and had appropriate paperwork from them confirming transfer

I got no reminder for my car either. Luckily I noticed and got it taxed before a fine was sent out. God knows what happened to two letters from the DVLA.

Have you checked or changed your address. very odd not to receive a reminder and even stranger you haven't received two.

Yeah I had a reminder for my car tax a week or more ago and then Friday I got another card telling me I could do it on the web or over the phone as I was leaving it 'til the last minute.

Both vehicles are still registered to my parents address, but I collect their post (story I wont bore you with) every morning and I work with them every day. If something arrives for me at their address, I get it. The fine managed to work it's way through OK

Mine has just been freed from behind an old three-piece suite. I just have to wait for it to get a bit warmer though it was looking really nice today - I need to do a bit of a look-over it mechanically though. Might treat it to some new oil and even plugs

Very odd. What I do is remember the month then just do it on line when I remember. Mine still registered at parents as well.
