stu nesling Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 my last renewal was delayed to the point of nearly running out. rang them and told them i needed to buy ammo. that seemed to make things move a bit faster. have heard that G4S now handle this dept in lincs.

Davyo Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) The only reason they are reluctant to issue a S7is because it goes down as a failure in their statistics and a bad mark against their performance.But if you are late sending in your renewal then they will rightly refuse on those grounds.My renewal has been in since 26/11/14 and licence expires on 27/03/15 no doubt I will be requesting a S7.But I will be asking the officer for their name and noting the date and time because when my mate rang they said they had no record of his call and even denied a S7 existed and threaten to arrest him.However the out come was ok but a lot of stress purley down to incompetence as renewal was sent in well in advance but just a lot of lying by the licensing department to cover up their mistakes. If your late t hen its your fault a S7 refused,but for officers to make a respectable FAC/SGC holder illegal rather than admit their failing is rather worring.
