Sounds like the DVLA lost the paperwork, or the scrap man didn't sort it all out.
Something like this was sorted out in the courts recently.
The DVLA can't compel (force) you to contact them to check paperwork has gone through and stuff.
Basically they're responsible for their own poor paperwork standards.
If you make the case that the fault is theirs and they had lost/mis-placed the paperwork they'll back down because they know precedent has been set in court and they don't have a hope in hell of winning the case.
Have a google around and you'll find out all the particulars you need, I think quoting the case name in a letter usually makes them back down.
