oh a final thing , this letter will be sent out recorded delivery due to my unfailing trust in the post office

That don't make a scrap of difference to the letter getting there or not. I have had recorded delivery mail go missing and all the post office would do after the lengthy wait you have to endure, was six stamps in a book.

Surely this can't be that difficult to resolve - why would anyone tax a vehicle twice, it's obviously an error on the post offices behalf.

If you still have the receipt that the post office gives you, send a 'copy' to the DVLA and tell them what happened.

Presumably since you were taxing a car and a van the two licences are for different amounts ie you weren't trying to tax the same vehicle twice.

[izzzzythedog]

there both the same taxation class i think , its a little escort sized van ( 1700 cc ) and a 2 litre car , ive not accually checked to see if they are the same amount, ill have to pop out and look

Ok, it was just a thought
