It will be the 25 digit reference numbers which dont cross reference properly, so it will all be with the administrator for administrative issues, for another 25 digit reference number to identify there is an administrative problem

I know it doesn't help but thats how officialdom seems to me....


theconrodkid - 27/3/08 at 08:35 PM

dear mrs s**t,feel free to poke your 25 digits where the sun dosnt shine


oh i feel my blood pressure rising


r1_pete - 27/3/08 at 08:53 PM

But seriously, loosing your temper and shouting at mrs s**t reduces you to their level. Quote the references on the acknowledgments etc. they hate that, and let them dig themselves into the mire in which they belong.

They are the most friggin useless and beuoracratic dis organisation to deal with, I think they enjoy getting folk irate. But rise above it and you have the upper hand.

Borehamwood DVLA are most spectularly rubbish!!!!! Have you got the direct dial number for them- I might have it squirreled away somewhere....


BenB - 27/3/08 at 09:46 PM

No direct dial number but 0208 238 7920 is the fax...


Mr Whippy - 27/3/08 at 10:35 PM

That's not the only rubbish DVLA office, I spent all afternoon trying to phone the Aberdeen one only to be continually cut off just before they answered


billynomates - 27/3/08 at 11:28 PM

My brother summed it up tonight.

If they sacked all the w@#*$rs and ars%*#?es that are employed in pointless jobs in this country, there'd be at leat 6 million unemployed.

^^^ they probably are the ones that designed and built the baggage mis-handling system at Heathrow terminal 5.

spoke to mrs s**t today,apparently her idea of "major components" does not include such items as chassis/axle/gearbox/engine/bodywork/suspension/wiring loom/steering rack etc,ill mail vosa and sugest they employ people that have some idea what they are talking about and not just some muppets to make up the "ethnic mix" of an orginisation


theconrodkid - 28/3/08 at 06:23 PM

Emailing VOSA about a DVLA issue should do the trick!

Im sorry to hear you are haing so many problems. whilst no conciliation, Stockton were awesome and fantastic. They even fought my corner 6 months after registration when Swansea naffed it up. Home visit and full explanation of the forms etc.


I cant help thinking you will better off keeping your cool, know your facts and just ask to speak to the boss to get some modicum of sense.


I dont feel a big urge to defend the DVLA but they must have some right wierdo's to deal with. Ive sat in the queue and wondered if i was an extra on 'Benidorm' before. Raising the game might be the way to make them realise you are worthy of some decent service and reasonable communication.


theconrodkid - 29/3/08 at 08:15 AM

the mail wasnt insulting,just a bit sarcastic and raising what i think are legitimate points ie how can you make decisions on something you know nothing about and the suggestion they employ people who know what they are doing,we wait and see
