IVA Paid
I sent the paperwork off last Friday evening. It was signed for (Royal Mail track and trace) this morning at 9.20am and at 11.50am I was telephoned by
an absolutely lovely-sounding lady, who took the payment for my IVA 
She said the paperwork will be sent off to my chosen station (Manchester) today, and I should call them next week if I've not heard anything
before - which sounds a lot speedier than a person that posted a few days ago?
Seriously excited now! I suppose I'd best get my final pieces of trim cover fitted !

That's strange, I phoned VOSA yesterday and they told me they had a 3 week back-log of IVA applications!
I paid for mine about this time last week and they said they won't even look at my application until the 12th June

9 days since I paid. Still not been processed let alone sent to the test centre!
I have just been informed that the "nice lady" is processing form submitted on the 15th May today so is approx 2 weeks behind.

Just telephoned VOSA 1 week after paying (which is what the lady on the phone told me to do). The lady I spoke to this time said
"The system says that the department is currently processing forms submitted on the 15th May, but these dates are notorious for being
out-of-date. I therefore suggest you call back every 3 days to keep a check on your application."
I said that a week ago a date of the 15th May was given to a friend and she said that just confirms that the information she has is properly not up to
date - therefore - who the hell knows when we're going to get a test date!

15 days after paying for mine.
Just called them and it was processed yesterday and has been passed onto a technical officer. If everything is properly completed it will then be
passed to the test centre. When will that be? Hard to say :-(
The wheels turn awfully slowly over there!

I paid for my IVA on the 30th April, just got my test date today for the 25th June at Beverly test centre.
Things are very slow at the moment, I hope a cancelation comes up!

Jobs left to do aren't major, I'm just playing and tinkering now because I'm bored (which is never a good thing to do!)
- Replace exhaust bobbin mounts as the rubbers are starting to split
- Fit door threshold edging
- Wrap the edge of the exhaust box near the tailpipe as the rivetted edge is quite sharp.
Other than that, it's good to go as far as I know.

I phoned them earlier today too!
They originally said they'd look at my form today, but they must have done some catching up as they said they processed it and sent it to the
test centre two days ago.
They phoned the test centre and they confirmed they had received it this morning and would phone me later today with a date

Busy morning for them today then. I chased mine and it was approved today by the technical guy and will be sent to the test centre this afternoon.
I can start chasing the Chadderton on Friday

Yeah, I sent mine on the 20th May and paid on the 22nd, so they must have done a weeks worth of applications in 2 days!
Or more likely, they didn't receive (m)any more applications in the 7 days between us sending ours in!
Fingers crossed you'll get your date through soon too!

Just phoned another number (01792 454288) and was told mine is being assessed tomorrow morning and I'll get a call to confirm it's been
passed to the test centre.

Thanks Andy!
I'll be sure to do a little write up afterwards. From what I've read the tester is a good guy, but possibly a bit too hot on the exterior
projections!
