    Sorry, I know the person I am writing to, have printed a letter today, but am afraid it will take for ever and a day for a response

    hence I thought a personal email might speed it up

    the letter is about claiming a refund for being charged for something, where the DVLA where originally at fault, hence I'm requesting a refund

    Thanks seems to have done the trick, sent it late last night, so far I've not had a undeliverable reply, so lets wait and see if this changes come Monday

    sent the email to 2 people within the DVLA Saturday night, earlier this afternoon, I got a phone call from DVLA regarding my"email"

    thanks (smitchy73 & sirmarcus)
