Great to see someone paying early

June 11, 2025 10:21am CST
It's really great when money hits our accounts early, of that there is no doubt at all , But see the number of times money is late from other sources really annoys me. I have been waiting for over a month on a road tax refund from the DVLA. They are quick enough to remind us when our vehicles need taxed but seems to be really slow in handing back what we are owed. . Tried phoning, no joy. . Sent an email, no reply. Not good enough is it DVLA

I am also waiting for the tax refund on the sale of our house. They are quick to get, but late to give back.

@Ineeddentures - We always paid our taxes, I immediately paid the tax on the sale. It is ridiculous that they keep money during 12 months "just to be sure"!.

Yes indeed. And it bugs me because I pay all our bills on time and we don't owe anyone anything

@Ineeddentures As it should be. Those that hold balances on their cards more often than not throw money away in high interest.

It bugs me with the DVLA because I have 4 or 5 vehicles most years and I spend a fair bit of money on taxes etc ... If I was late I would be fined

This bugs me too. There is no leeway if we're late paying something but the authorities can take as long as they like.

Aye. The thing that bugs me the most is that all these things are electronic so should be instantaneous

Sometimes myLot surprises us. A small pittance it is, what they pay us, but nevertheless, every penny counts, and I'll take whatever pennies are willing to come my way. Onward and upward.

There's an African lady here I did some pro bono work for. She was starting a Day Care. I wrote her publicity literature for free. Then I did some "for pay" on-site work for her. She owes me $1200.00. People can be odd.

That is a lot of money to be owed. How long has she owed you the money.?
