Vehicle Licence Stamps

I've just found a savings card containing £30 worth of stamps that I previously bought to spread the cost of car tax but I don't have a car anymore, and it's unlikely I'll have one in the near future, so these stamps are of no use to me really. I phoned my local PO to ask if they would refund them but they said no :(

Does anyone know if it's possible to get my money back on them and if so, who would I contact about it?

Cheers :)

    Take the stamps into your nearest DVLA Local Office (there are 40 offices around the country-mostly in cities or towns) with a covering letter asking for a full refund.

    The stamps will be sent in internal mail to DVLA Swansea and a refund issued from there, this is sent to you directly after about 4 to 6 weeks.

    I would ask for a receipt that the stamps have been handed in!
