Obviously you weren't applying for routine renewal at the time so
how did the DVLA get the information by which it could "ban" you?
Did you volunteer it or did it go behind your back?

I don't know, it was totally out of the blue and was nothing to do
with any information that I gave.

Then there does appear to be an independent way to alert the system.
Perhaps there are other occasions when it ought to be used.
