Problem applying for a new reg document

Bought a series 2a some while ago now for spares, and it came with no plates or reg document, I have slice found the chassis number and decided to apply for a new reg document, In January I sent off the application and my £25.00 cheque and about 3weeks later noticed that my cheque had been cashed and and received a letter from Dvla saying my new reg document would be arriving soon even giving me the reg number ,but nothing else arrived and unfortunately I had binned the letter, so rang up the Dvla and they said basically that I would have to apply again, putting a cover letter in with the application, so I did that and yesterday I received a load of paperwork from Dvla saying that they could not issue me with a new document as I had not provided the reg number., so back to square one, anybody got any idea's on this it's driving me mad

Ask for a copy of all written communication sent to you.

Yes you mean the first letter they sent me with the reg number on it I can remember some off the digits as App---j as these are my initials but can't remember the rest

Shout at them until they do what you want.

But you can ask them to either re-send copies or e-mail attachments so you have at least a reference number to quote at them.

Shouted at them today and it looks promising now, watch this space

I find crying over the phone with ample sobbing and nose blowing between strained words often gets a good response. Even if it doesn't it gives them a good laugh in the office.

This is quite interesting, I've just bought a box of bits for my 2a and there were a set of vin plates for a 109 2a that the guy had broken for spares years ago but never had the v5 for. I wonder if anyone has knicked the chassis number for another vehicle?
