up rating I give up (1 Viewer)

well after the third time of sending details in, got it all returned agian with two letters. One saying they do not accept photocopies. And the other saying I will have to tax it at the new revenue wieght before they will issue new log book? Its already taxed and I cant see the post office allowing me to tax with a different class to that shown on the log book! I will try sending it all in again and sorn it before that arrives at their office but to be honest will probably give up after that...............................totally peed off.

Send a cheque for £165 with the documentation.
What photocopies did you send.
DVSA is overcrowded with idiots.

Yup.. The new revenue class ( providing you are going up in weight and not down ) will be cheaper..
You have to pay for the new tax and then they refund you the original tax that was left on the motor

This doesn't quite make sense to me ...

What photocopies did you send? You should only send copies of the docs for the weight change but the V5C MUST be the original.

As for taxing it for the new weight - you cannot do so until it is changed to the new weight by them so that's b*llocks.

You could ring them and find out exactly what you need to do rather than keep posting the stuff. This is the lady I spoke to who was very helpful (although she's in the Exports section she was the one in the know!):

When I updated mine I did it at the local office a few years ago. They gave me a temp Reg document as they took my old one, took my money to tax, gave me the new tax disc and arranged to refund the old tax. This was done without the new V5c so it can be done, otherwise you would have to wait weeks to tax your van and would not be be able to ( legally) use it.

I sent copies of everything including the V5. (It was a colour copy). I got my new V5 within 10 days. Just goes to show they don't all sing from the same song book.
I guess I was just lucky

I am afraid it is true.. no matter how batchy it seems.. Been there and done that..
Now all the local offices have closed as much as I want to put my own plate on the van I just cannot bring my self to trust the DVLA to get it right
