I can just feel the hours of his life melting away. Every time I help my folks with utilities, council tax, doctors and hospital appointments, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc - a simple job can entail hours on the phone with zero result.
Why do you have to go to her house?
Can't she just send a photo of the V5?
And you just put her on speaker (if they insist on speaking to her), when you get through to DVLA?
Although, I agree with Alec T, as in I can't see why they would care about who pays.
shes 70 mile away, went down last week, brought her car up here, got it serviced and MOTd. then I said where is the form for the road tax, she said she sent it off with a cheque - jeez
I can get it all done with the V5 and a phone call from her house - but thats a 140 mile round trip, and probably an hour queing on the phone. jesus fecking wept
I will leave it a few more days see if the cheque gets cashed in or the road tax web site suddenly says its taxed.
