applied for my windy license on thursday filled out the online form from the council website for three year license £217 paid fee online, got an e-mail back saying my application was recieved & that I will hear from them on or before 22 november once the police had ruled on my past.
Fast forward to friday morning moblie rings in work , "hi this is the council we recieved your application there is a problem " oh I say have i missed a question on the form ? "no, the payment is wrong you owe us another £11 due to the license fee increasing to £228 " by the way this fee is an admin fee & is non returnable so if the police so no license then my dosh is gone :angry: .
Thing is I work for a company that does double glazing repairs & i'm in around 40 different households a week & guess what no license, police check required ....mind boggling I think the council has missed a trick here /emoticons/tongue.png
Oh and another thing before applying for said license you must buy public liabillity insurance cheapest I got was £65.05 through simply business, so that will be more cash down the drain if my application is refused. :angry:
I'm fully expecting my license to be approved as my only brushes with the law have been a p*ss in the street 26 years ago £25 fine & driving without a seat belt 5 years ago £30 fine.
Just a cash making exersise from the council as I can drive 6 miles away & need no license different council /emoticons/ph34r.png
