I sold my motor bike to my friend in September, told dvla and received back confirmation from them. A family member just happened to mention, and nothing to do with my bike, that when they sold their car they were quite pleased to get a bit of a refund back from the insurers, that got me thinking, I hadn't cancelled my bike insurance, I must tell them as I would surely get a part refund as the policy had only been running since May, so 4 months.
I rang them a few weeks ago explaining this and that I had the document from dvla if they needed proof of the sale.
To my astonishment they said I was due a tiny refund but as it costs £50 to cancel a policy I therefore owed THEM £42.
This has totally baffled me.
The next day they even phoned my home to repeat was I was told the day before.
Then, the following day, I received a letter sent by Recorded Delivery saying I had to send them proof of sale, which I will, and that if I didn't then under Sec 147 I would prosecuted.
Please can anyone help, or has this happened to anyone else.
I am at my wits end and NEVER owed anyone anything in all my life.
