Can i sue dvla

[nalakaanu]

I would like to share my frustrating story.

 

I have two dr10 convictions on 2002 and 2003.i wrote to the DVLA on 2005 asking when i can get my driving licence back. DVLA replies me after 24/06/2005 i can get my driving licence back. on 25/06/2005 i did apply for the provisional driving licence .then i passed my test on 05/10/2005.

2009 i did apply for the PCO know as mini cab licence. after the application i received the later from DVLA saying on ‘’WHEN YOU SAT ON 05/10/2005 YOU WERE A DISQUALIFIED DRIVER AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED TO SIT A TEST.AS A RESULT OF THIS THE TEST WILL NOW BE NEGATED’’. Then i went to the DVLA local office return the licence back and apply for the provisional with paying £50.00.on may 2009 i did received the latter from DVLA ‘’ THE FEE FOR THE RENEWAL OF LICENCE AFTER ANY DISQUALIFICATION IS £90.00.i payed the balance of £40.00 to the DVLA local office .June 2009 DVLA ask me to attend for the medical examination with one of their Doctor. i did attend. Then finally i got my full driving licence back and it was say starting date as 14.04.03.

Beginning of 2012 i did apply for the HGV provisional licence without any problem and i passed my theory test on Feb. 2012.i took my practical test on 29/10/2012 and i passed the test. On 01/11/2012 i got my full HGV licence. on 06/11/2012 DVLA wrote to me again and saying ‘’WE WROTE TO YOU ON 2009 EXPLAINING THAT YOU WERE ONLY ENTITLED TO A PROVISIONAL DRIVING LICENCE DUE TO TAKING A TEST WHILST SERVING A PERIOD OF DISQUALIFICATION. HOW EVER A FULL DRIVING LICENCE WAS ISSUED TO YOU MIN ERROR.

OUR RECORDS SHOW THAT YOU DID NOT RETURN THIS INCORRECT LICENCE WHICH YOU WERE NOT ENTITLED TO HOLD.

YOU THEN MADE AN APPLICATION FOR PROVISIONAL VOCATIONAL ENTITLEMENT IN JANUARY 2012 WHICH YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO HOLD, UNLESS YOU HAVE FULL MOTOR CAR ENTITLEMENT.

ARRANGEMENTS NOW HAVE BEEN MADE TO REVERT YOUR DRIVER RECORDS TO PROVISIONAL STATUS, REMOVING YOUR LGV ENTITLEMENT AND CANCELLATION OF YOUR CATEGORY C TEST YOU RECENTLY SAT

IN ORDER FOR ME TO ISSUE YOU WITH AN AMENDED DRIVING LICENCE, PLEASE RETURN BOTH PARTS.

Can you please give me any sort of feedback? I am starting to think about claiming compensation, because I,m a self employed recovery driver couldn't drive Is it reasonable to even think about compensation? .

 

Thanks for your time.

 

Best Regards,

Your post is a little hard to understand, but yes it is very plausable to think about asking for the fees they took from you to be returned and with 8% statutory interest added.
