Dear All,
I haven't been on properly for a while as I've been very busy, but I am finally pleased to announce to all the kind people that have advised along the way.......................
I have today received my Registration Document for my Hymer!!!!
It has been not without difficulty, the DVLA returned my application twice, firstly because my insurance certificate it didn't state the vin/chassis no., which it did, further down the document, (this took over a week for them to post back to me even though I sent docs in Special Next day delivery).
Secondly, they returned it because it didn't state the vin/chassis no. in the "Reg No." box, which my insurers advised they couldn't put it in there because it was too long.
As I had about 1 day left on the 2 weeks insurance policy which could only be extended for another week, and that was the second insurance I had obtained of the only 2 people that would insure me, I was rather stressed about it all, to say the least.
Oh, the incompetence of the DVLA.........don't worry, they will all be getting decent pensions too!
It was at this point I phoned and eventually got the name of someone who would deal with it specially for me. So I returned the docs a third time, and stressed in my covering letter that if they messed me about anymore, I would be taking the matter to my local MP. They received the document on Monday, I telephoned Tuesday to check on it (had to speak to a manager to get any information without being fobbed off) and she told me it had gone through and I would be receiving a letter.
Today I have received my V5, and am just awaiting tax disc and document to allow me to get new number plate.
Now that was fast.............eventually!!! :thumb:
Morocco is most definitely ON!
