As hc4361 has requested - please advise us as to how you got it released

[EcclesCake]

I'm sorry you feel that way Diesel.

I wish you well.

These threads tend to fizzle out before we find out exactly what happened and how/why, but hopefully some replies helped achieve the release. Was the speeding fine ever sorted out, d-d?

[bednobs]

it's really difficult to give any meaningful advice to someone who is lying anyway

[hc4361]

bednobs, if anyone has doubts about the validity of a thread it is better they either report it or ignore the thread altogether.

lol wasn't it you who saud that DD was rather "confused" about how long he'd had the car?

[dieseldick]

hc4 / fiction , my friend back home got vehicle released even without tax, the pound take your car for no tax but release it without tax , unbelievable but true. my friend went with £490 , his insurance , an email from me .

bednobs what are you on ?

[hc4361]

Your friend must have paid the £160 surety. You must get it taxed or SORN'd or you will be hit with more fines and the car could be impounded again. Do it soon to get the surety back

[hc4361]

Cars are impounded for no road tax and are released when the fine, storage costs are paid and tax renewed or £160 surety paid. Otherwise car is crushed or sold after 14 days
