Tax refund advice

Fuzzyhead

Hello I am new on here so hi to you all.

Just a quick question: I was clearing out some paperwork, and came across an uncashed cheque for £70 for road tax refund, that i got from DVLA, dated May 2008.
I totally forgot about it, and what can I do?

Can I request a replacement or is it too late, and I have lost this money, I have sent DVLA an e-mail but had no response, so thought I would ask what to do on here.

It is fully intact and still attached to the remittance advice note.

thanks and any advice would be greatfully appreciated.

CR:o:(

You will just have to wait for a response to your email. If you dont get one in say seven days, then write to them enclosing a copy of the cheque and remittance advice.

I dont see why you shouldnt get it replaced to be honest. They still have your money.

Can you not just bank it? I know postal orders have cash by dates but not cheques.

I think its about 6 months for cheques, from the issue date.

Mind, you could try and see if the bank spots it,

I am ex DVLA. The tax refund cheques used to be bankable for up to 6months. After that the banks won't process them.

If you write to DVLA enclosing the cheque (take a copy for yourself first) explaining then they will re-issue a replacement
