how long to get licence back after having points added
Discussion
how long does it normaly take to get your licence back after having points added (first 3 on previously clean licence) ? the court cashed the cheque for £60 on the 1/02/08.
i have not recieved my licence back from them. i did include a recorded delivery return envelope.
maybe i will have the added joy of applying for a new licence with the DVLA if the system doesn't return it to me

Sorry. Bit of a misread there - I thought the DVLA had your licence..
But the fixed penalty office / court can also retain your licence for up to 21 days - to allow for cheque payments to clear, for instance. Credit / debit card payments can see the licence returned earlier..
If your cheque has been cashed then there seems little reason for the licence to be retained. Why not give them a quick call and chase them up..

the court say they posted it back on the 28th of jan ( even though the cheque was only cashed on the 1st feb)
royal mail say they have no record of the letter being tracked at any point and due to the time lapsed, the item is missing.
i've informed the court that i cant claim against royal mail as the court are the senders so the court must claim for losses.
i was then asked by the clerk of the court for a contact phone number and told somone will contact me shortly - still waiting.
the joy.

Ahh the good old Royal Fail. royal mail say they have no record of the letter being tracked at any point and due to the time lapsed, the item is missing.

well i've contacted the court on 3 occassions, each time the clerk says she will inform the relevant court asistant who will contact me.
i informed the clerk that i have been waiting since thursday to be contacted by them.
i have also notified the dvla of the situation. the helpline operator said a replacement licence can be obtained for £22 and that i can use a debit card to pay.the dvla confirmed the court has managed to add the 3 points.
i feel i am getting fobbed off by the court and i should just be a good little tax payer and pay for a new licence.
any advice?

the court are saying they will start the claim procedure with royal mail. the claim will be for £22 for a replacement licence.
the lesson here is - in FPN cases, send everything be recorded or special delivery.
its nice to know your licence is looked after when when you send it away to be endorsed. protection of personal details and all that!
