Anyone know how long it takes the DVLA to process a road tax refund?

Recently changed my car, and as part of the deal it was agreed that I’d apply for a refund of the tax disc on my part exchange. However, due to having a personalised registration, the new tax did hadn’t been received by the time I collected the new car. Have spoken to the dealer and they’ve advised me that the tax disc was received by them 2 weeks ago, and that they returned it for a refund (on my behalf, of course) on 15/07. Still not had anything back, and have checked the DVLA website which shows that the car is still taxed.

Don’t fancy losing a month worth of tax at around £40, but just want to know if this is normal. Is it likely that the dealer’s just attempting to fob me off, or is the DVLA ridiculously slow these days when it comes to this sort of thing? Could it be that there website is not up to date and that the cheque’s in the post?

I’ll give them a call when I get a chance, but would be helpful to hear from others who’ve done this sort of thing lately.

Thanks.

Cheers guys, looks like I'm being a bit keen so I'll leave it a bit longer.

I'm hoping they'll have the application in hand, so this means I'll get August back.
