Royboy Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi does anybody know how long this can take ? I sent a letter and my licence off just over 2 months ago and not heard anything ! I've rang them a few times and all I get is "they are very busy at the minute" I don't realy like shooting without my licence and im starting to get low on shells !!

robbiep Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Write to them, explaining that the service is not satisfactory, and that you will make a complaint if you do not receive it back promptly. Recorded delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travlaa Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I know it's a bit late now. But I am moving house soon, so been researching this.....I am told you don't have to send your licence off. As there is no legal requirement to do so.

Royboy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I wasn't told this ! I was told I must send my licence in !! Rang them today and was told the Officer has been very busy with the Gun Amnesty so there sending my licence out straight away fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppenwolf Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) I wasn't told this ! I was told I must send my licence in !! Rang them today and was told the Officer has been very busy with the Gun Amnesty so there sending my licence out straight away fingers crossed Sounds typical. Busy with pointless rubbish that won't reduce crime but when a hard working taxpayer needs a license, then it's "sorry guvnor we're busy!", not acceptable. Next time don't send them the license since it's not a legal requirement as some have said. Edited December 11, 2014 by Steppenwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Next time don't send them the license since it's not a legal requirement as some have said. Exactly. The only legal requirement one needs to do is follow is written on the front of everyones FAC. Nothing more or nothing less is required.
