I guess if the Dvla for instance insist that the P.O Stamp the certificates, that overrides what those that issue the certificate say or suggest even if they are a manager.
As I said I mentioned not stamping it and it was then a question of do you or don’t you want to tax it and change the class to disabled as to do so they need to stamp the certificate and she explained that it’s to stop someone taxing another car with the same certificate. If you change cars you’ll need to get a new certificate to tax it. If your renewing the tax on the same car then you can use the same certificate. Which doe’s seems to me logical and once you’ve changed the class over at the P.O then you can renew the tax online.
If it had been one of the other P.O staff I would of maybe asked for a second opinion but she is the main person at the P.O, My local P.O and she knows her stuff any queries go to her.
So mein got stamped as they would not process the change of tax without doing so.
As I said was my local P.O And they know me there also. Definitely wasn’t going to make a huge scene over it, although I have done so in the past, when one of the PT staff asked me what I was posting and I refused to say only that it’s not an item on their list of prohibited items. She went and spoke to the lady and came back with a gritted teeth so sorry, thats perfectly ok.
So maybe it depends on the person / P.O you goto to as whether they stamp or not or know really what they doing or not. I am not saying you wrong vinal just that’s what happen when I went to tax it in july.
