umesh 336 Posted April 17, 2015 I thought I'd spotted a printing mistake this morning on the retention form (V317) How wrong was I !! It transpires the old retention fee of £80 + £25 is old new ! Great news the retention is same as transfer fee - just £80.. Came into force March 9th 2015 ! A great story but DVLA kept it quiet ... or have I been asleep ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenGiant 287 Posted April 17, 2015 Good news indeed. It is a bit odd that they never told anyone though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umesh 336 Posted April 22, 2015 Just done my 1st Line retention - seems too good to be true ! here's the link : https://www.gov.uk/keep-registration-number They claim to send V5 to customer within 3/5 days ! got instant reg number to go back on vehicle. This is definitely the way forward ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
