Thought id bee rally cool and tax my car online now i have a paper mot!!

yea right.

step 1 enter your 16 digit ref code on your V11

hmm no ref code....


plan 2

enter reg number (piece of ****) i,m rolling now

enter ref number off V5 (b*gger) cant find V5


no probs i thought, phone em up...


went through 6 billion (ok i embelished the facts) menus, to be told enter your 16 digit ref code, so i entered all maner of numbers, hoping that i would get transferred to an operator...


like **** !!!! it just keeps reminding you of you options and methods of payment (grrr)


so i hung up and spoke to a human (well if you can go that far)

now wait for the bulls*it excuses



the tax online scheme is a pilot, and not all v11's have the ref number on wtf!!!


ok so i gave her the reg number... fine. need your 16 digit yadda yadda

explined its not on the V11, ok she said use your V5,..i explained i cant find it....


oh well theres nothing we can do??


ermmmm what!!!




so how come they can issue you with a reminder, ( they have your registration & address) you can be fined for no tax, again this can be done without the 16 didgit ref number, but they cant find your car with a registration number and an address..

do you get the impression its jobsworth or a crap system??

Been discussed before. On the whole, nearly everyone who has used it has been very happy with it. Takes 5 minutes and delivered a few days later, great service. Clearly it doesn't work ALL the time, as you have found, but for most people it works well.

Was a piece of **** for me. Maybe youre a retard

Ah the modern society - so quick to blame others instead of looking at your own behaviour.

Your the one that can't find your V5.

davegtt

lol find your V5 and your rolling like everybody else, cant blame others can you? So the only info you've really given then is a reg number and an address (any clown can do that)

sociopath

So you lost your V5 and its the DVLA's fault?

The only impression I get is that you wouldn't be able to read your V5 even if you hadn't moronically lost the ******* thing.

Worked for me when I did it, but then I'm really boring...I had all my documentation handy.

Very easy and the way forward. Apart form spending £175 it was painless.

It means I don't have to stand in line with Mrs Brady, old lady at the Post Office.

I found it a peice of ****.... done it online at 11:15 pm and paid £165 instead of waiting till the next day and going to the Post Office and paying £190

And your all so f*cking perfect....


not one of you cottoned on to the fact that they can pull your details up on screen, and the 16 digit ref number is bloody usless on its own, i didnt want any other details, just this number so i could tax the car...

prehaps if they had put the bloody information on the v11 as they were triumphantly proclaiming, then i wouldnt need the v5

and yes i have all the documentation, including the v5, just because i cant find it is immaterial.

Just tried to do this as i haven't received my reminder yet for my tax which runs out in 2 days time and it wouldn't accept it!
It said "because of the tax class of the vehicle or recent changes to the vehicle record, you are currently unable to apply for a tax disc or declare sorn using this service".

WTF!!

Anyone else had this. The vehicle is a scooby of course and my details haven't changed for ages.

Went through for me and then I realised I will need to go to the Post office anyway as otherwise by the time I get the disk I will be out of tax anyway.

Tax disks, what ****e idea.

Mart - I've got to that I'm with everyone else on this one.

How do they know that you are who you say you are? what proof have you given them over the phone to prove that you are genuine?

None.

Find the bloody V5 and stop whinging

I went online to renew my road tax on Tuesday 21st March and received it on Thursday 23rd March. Excellent service. Geoff.

Worked fine for me!

mart360

because i could provide the vin number , the V11 barcode number, the name address and dob of the registered keeper, i didnt want any other details other than the id number so i could purchase tax.

FFS do you think i,m daft enough to tax some other ******* car??

they sent out the automated reminders without needing all the bloody data!!

some people!!!!


Mart

mart360

what, that your incapable of answering a civil question, or that you post daft comments to get your post count up???

Ill ask again just to give you the benefit of the doubt.

what has it got to do with burns??

Better than posting the utter drivel you put up - i've never encountered anyone so opinionated - has it never crossed your mind that folk might not give a rat's ***?

I have just used it and had no problems with it at all. It is an excellent system, obviously not idiot proof though
