Fixed penalty from DVLA

[shmitsky]

Hey! I'm a bit of a panic just now, i was reading through various threads while waiting for the outcome of my application and realised I got a fixed penalty from DVLA last year for not taxing my car on time.
Basically I changed address, they sent the reminder to the old one. Once I figured it out i paid straight away. No court involved.

Now, i forgot to put that down on my application - is there any way I can contact HO to update them, it's been a month since I applied, not sure if it's too late... should I email them?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hello

I have applied for naturalization last month as well i didnt even think about that untill today after your post basically i bought a car with no v5c and taxed it later after receiving v5c on my name i dont remember it was a penalty , received a letter from dvla that from certain period my car was not taxed and i got to pay £70 something fine which i paid on phone and that was it cant remember any dates , paid it straightaway dont know if it will have any negative impact .

i had fpn from dvla for not insuring my car ( i had it for having my parked in my drive, i took off insurance as i wasnt using it but it was taxed )

basically you have to sorn both
a) untaxed vehicles.
b) uninsured vehicles.

i paid and chucked FPN letter , when applying naturalisation i had to call dvla to confirm date of notice and penalty amount , which i put down in the AN Form..

you can still write a cover letter and send it to Dept 4 , Liverpool address.. better safe then sorry

although its not such serious offence or issue !! shouldnt cause a rejection ( remember they look for repetitive behaviour )

I phoned them up and was advised to send a letter explaining the situation.
I've emailed the HO address just, so I've got some sort of a record and will follow up with a letter once I get home.

I'm super paranoid about it
