Has anyone managed to get a VIN out of Theale DVLA?
...because I'm struggling.
So far I've been in there personally, and spoken to someone behind the desk that didn't have a clue (fair enough, can't expect
everyone to know everything). He toddled off to find someone who did, who came back and gave me the V627/1 built up inspection form and (the wrong)
V55/4 application for a first tax disk, and said they couldn't give me a vin until I'd filled those in, and they'd done the
inspection.
I couldn't be arsed / bottled out of telling him he was wrong to his face, so nodded and smiled and left. I then wrote them a letter explaining
that I was building a kit conversion with a new chassis and need a VIN to be able to IVA it before I can register.
Got a reply this morning, saying exactly the same as last time, that I need to return the forms that I can't complete yet for them to give me a
VIN. On the plus side, at least they sent the right V55 this time.
I thought I'd be saving myself a bit of aggro by asking them for a VIN instead of trying my own, but apparently not. I'm not too sure what
to do now. How do you word a letter saying 'you don't know what you're doing, give me a VIN'?. Or should I just make one up,
get through IVA and then deal with it later?

I made up my own VIN.
Would trust those monkeys. Give them the least amount of work possible.

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

I guess I'll make it up then. If they can make things up as they go along I don't see why I can't
