    Rather than posting here in the  Local Moneysaving. Spotted a local bargain? Let local MoneySavers know!  Board?

    More advice would be available on the     Budgeting & Bank Accounts Board.  :)

    Perhaps this post could be removed to there? By MSE_ForumTeam5  ?

    OP can you confirm that the address on the provisional licence is the address he is residing at now?
    If it is not it would explain a lot about why he has been declined.
