| Antonye,
I had a similar debacle with changing addresses. Basically when I moved house I informed my employer, who informed the payroll people, who informed Inland Revenue. But then something internal in Inland Revenue reglected to reflect this change across all systems. So like you, I never received a self assessment form, just the lovely little late fine.
The more you owe them it seems the bigger this fine is. I'm still waiting to hear the results of my appeal for the extra £570 they're trying to claim. Of course the note I received yesterday says that the appeal is under review but that I should still pay the amount because they'll be charging interest on it and if my appeal fails I'll have to pay the extra too. *sigh* I'm caught between risking my appeal being successful versus paying the money to avoid interest and then fighting to get IR to return it at a later date.
