It's me 615 Posted June 15, 2018 had the misfortune to need to ring dvla this week chasing up a log book i applied for 3 weeks ago once you get through they start spouting gdpr at you and your call is important got through to an arse of a man who refused to answer any questions and refused to confirm they had received my request for a log book his reply was wait 4 weeks plus and then we can start an enquiry which means you would need to resubmit and go to the back of the queue fuming i went off the phone i tried again next day thinking the jobsworth might be on brain training got a nice lady who basically said the same but advised the car wasnt actually showing as in trade yet from when it was chopped in ive got a customer for this car so was hoping i could go to the PO and tax it,the lady says no blow me the loggy book came today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RHO 15 Posted June 15, 2018 DVLA. All the gear, No idea. Totally useless. Rather just put the car down the yard and off sale to avoid the stress. Good news for you today though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoMargin 11 Posted June 16, 2018 GDPR??? mmmm I wonder if the DVLA are still selling our details to private companies for rip off PCN's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick M.K. 574 Posted June 16, 2018 Of course. All the private companies have to do is demonstrate legitimate interest in the data. Wanting money from us is as legitimate as it gets :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had a Focus last year (in our name) got 10 or so PCNs for it down in London. Found it bizarre that someone would do duplicate plates for a car only to park in the same spot day after day.

Mark101 536 Posted June 16, 2018 Curve ball - I have only good things to say about DVLA. I find them knowledgable, helpful and the Online services have really helped speed things up. The only criticism is the length of time it takes to obtain a replacement log book - otherwise, I get logbooks back in about 3 days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted June 16, 2018 It must be me. Whenever I’ve had cause to contact the DVLA I’ve immediately got through to the correct person, they’ve handled my query or problem efficiently & resolved it to my satisfaction. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Area 51 33 Posted June 21, 2018 Must say my dealings have not been too bad; however, it does now sound like another shower using automatically generated letters ( and from a government dept) convinced the only way is Artificial Intelligence, oh the bloody irony...
