    All the more reason to send it the correct postcode as per the item.

    What proof have you got that they even received the letter?

    I never bothered returning my old licence and they've never asked for it. Are you sure there is a £1000 fine? I've never even heard of such a thing.

    Think OP might be thinking of the £1000 fine you can get if you don't renew your photo licence every 10 years.

    The address they sent him to return his old licence not the V5.
