Legal assistance with tax and car problems


Questioner

I have been living abroad for 20 years. In 2005 I took a car from the Netherlands to France where I lived at the time, it was properly deregistered from the Netherlands and later had it scrapped there when it was worn out. I did not receive any papers for that, that was not how it was done there. This week my mother called me and told me that a bank account in both of our names, the existence of which I did not know, had been seized by the tax authorities who wanted to collect 2,500 euros in road tax. I called the tax authorities and it turned out that the car was automatically re-registered after a year and I was never informed about this. What should I do? I currently live in Spain and can't just drop by the tax office and I have no ties with the Netherlands anymore. I've been gone for over 20 years and the money in the account is not mine but my mother's. I don't have any paperwork for this car anymore and when I took it with me I specifically asked if everything was in order, but that's not the case. What should I do???

Seems like a time-barred claim to me, it deserves further investigation.
