DVLA Thieves

[Livefast123]

I had to tax my little scoot before she went off into the hands of a 16 year old ped boi. I couldn't be arsed to go down the Post Office so I thought I'll do it online to save time. Went through the whole process only to be told at the end that there was a system error and the process would not be completed. An email was sent to confirm the above.

In the meantime i've been down to my local friendly post office to sort the tax out.

So today i'm looking through my bank statement and on the 22nd February the DVLA have removed £15 from my bank account for guess what.......vehicle tax. £15 may not sound like much but it was one of those skinty months and I could have done with it. I've sent a 'polite' email to DVLA requesting my money back as phoning them would cost more than the tax.

I wonder how many more people they have had this way who don't check their bank statements.

i know, the cunts, its always worth checking the next day if that happens to see if the database has been updated with the new tax disc

Well at least the little monkeys have had the decency to reply with a 2 line email...............pity they didn't bother reading what I actually said instead of cutting and pasting their refund procedure for when you have a tax disk

Seeing as they have now proved they are incapable of doing anything I will have to up the ante.

I guess i may as well go in at the top with a complaint then a court order for the money they have stolen from me.

Instead of phoning you could visit their nearest regional office for help, if they are close to you?

I had considered that but it's a bit of a journey and i work shifts which sods law have not been DVLA friendly this month!

I don't really want to use my petrol + time sorting out their problem.

The bastards at the DVLA processed my tax for the bike and car without any trouble and so I have nothing to complain about. The utter UTTER BASTARDS.
