TRACTOR REGISTRATION BY RETURN POST
Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2009 1:35 pm
XXXXX failed to obtain an age related registration for my Super Dexta, after having all the details for over six months. In fact the cheque I sent him is out of date.
However the good news is that having contacted The Ford and Fordson Association (FFA) they put me in touch with XXXXX, whom I contacted, to establish exactly what documentation was required to obtain an age related registration number.
Having posted the documentation to XXXXX, I received the registration and the tax disc virtually by return post. As I had to send my photo driving licence, I was advised to send it by recorded delivery, which cost me £4.60, it also cost me £40.00 for XXXXX to complete the necessary forms and travel to her local DVLA office to process the registration and I had to pay the DVLA £55.00, which I understand is due to rise in April.
Not exactly a cheap exercise but, as my nearest DVLA office is in Swansea, which is some 70 miles away it was a cheaper option. Don’t forget that to obtain a Tax Disc even for a Historic Vehicle you require to have the tractor insured.
The FFA informed me that sadly, they had received a lot of complaints about XXXXX and as a consequence his telephone number is no longer listed in their magazine. Don’t quote me on this but I think that XXXX will be taking over this role for the FFA in the near future.
Having previously dealt with XXXXX (Bristol NVTEC) and XXXXX I can highly recommend XXXX for a fast turnaround. There may be cases, which are not quite as straight forward that may well take longer to process; this is only to be expected.
I asked her if I could post her telephone number on this site, to which she agreed, and I do so now in good faith and recommend her to you.
Her phone/Fax number is: - 01673-XXXXXXX

. Just tell everyone what to do and omit what they should not do, i.e. "contact so-and-so to get it done swift and sound" and don't mention the other person at all.
