Changed keeper on my MX5 about a month ago,(from girlfiend to me for insurance purposes), which means, under the new system, we had to re-tax the car.
And receive a refund.
New V5, but no refund and the DVLA, when phoned, can't tell us if a cheque has been sent, what may have happened to it or even if the car was taxed, (which it was, they certainly took the money!).
Wondering if anyone has a magic phone number that might help me resolve this, maybe a number where the person on the other end, knows how to work the IT in Swansea!
Tried to post some cool cars as a thanks, but my interweb thingie won't let me, will try again later!

Just remember March is one of the busiest periods for the dvla so things will be taking longer at present but they do say that refunds can take 6-8 weeks

Hi, ring up again and you will get a different person so you will get a different response. Stupid I know, but we are talking DVLA here.

New V5 arrived within a few days, refund is now due for almost 6 weeks, I checked last night.
Spoke to 2 different people and both can't say if we've taxed the car, if the refund has been sent or it's in the process!
In other words, they know as much as me!

bought a car but owner i bought it off never sent v5 away taxed it on green slip sold to new owner with green slip he never bothered to register it or send green slip in despite dvla telling him the original v5 never arrived from owner before me me pestering dvla for refund i don't show as keeper due to two incompetent past and present owners dvla finally asked for money from me to get a v5 by now tax virtually out so not worth the hassle and I'm not the owner anyway unusual one i have to say but probably most refunds are straight forward by comparison

I sorned my XJS way back in December, NO refund yet !! I called DVLA today for the 4th time, and I just get a lot of bull tbh !! guy I spoke with today said I've to speak with the post man ? !! so, apparently another cheque is being sent out but to my work address this time ! Each time I call DVLA they are a bit sh1tty with me, and its like they are saying its my fault (although they don't actually say it !) and its like I shouldn't be calling ! V Bad attitude and appalling customer service, thing is, I'll be taxing it / putting it back on the road in less than two weeks !!

I bought it from a garage so I've been pestering them as they were the last keepers of the car so surely tax went back to them? But no luck as of yet, spoke to the bloke I sold the car too and he applied for a log book and received it but has since sold the car so God knows where my refund of over £100 has gone! Wouldn't be so annoyed if it wasn't for be fact he clutch went on the car so I sold the car for £140 scrap value!
