how can DVLA come back again after 2 months saying the car isnt taxed and here's the fine for it. How can DVLA send a contractor to clamp the car for the same reason and pursue another route again for the same 'offence'. sorry if i been naive here.
Your car was on the road and liable to tax.
In order to enforce the tax the car was clamped and subsequently lifted. The contractor arranged scrapping but the tax, and the contractors costs, are still outstanding. The DVLA want that money.
The contractors advice was either incorrect or literal in the sense there was nothing else to pay to them. To my mind the idea that you can walk away from an offence at the cost of scrapping a valueless car is absurd.
You could try taking the paperwork to an organisation like Citizens Advice to ascertain that whatever law DVLA rely on is being used correctly but I strongly suspect the answer will be that it is.
Edit to add that you need to move quickly. If you delay and they take you to court (do they say whether Magistrates County Court?) then court fees and possibly costs are likely to be added.
