Default Sooooo Annoyed!!!!

Bought my SV650s from MMC in St Helens last week, and am currently waiting on the insurance cover note so the lads in MMC can tax it.

Been onto Bennetts, and they have told me it was posted last week but it's still not arrived!!!!

Can't tax the bike - so can't pick it up.

Waited over a week now, and want to get out on her ASAP.

SO ANNOYED!!!

Could be another few days, so might not even have it over the weekend.

Gutted.

Any idea's waht I can do?

Bennetts won't send me out another copy via next day registered post - It's not something they do apparently

get them to email you a copy, that'll do for the tax.

Have you got the V5 and is it registered in your name. If so you could try taxing it online via the DVLA website.

I would have expected the policy documentation within 2 or 3 days to be honest!

I use ebike insurance, when I got mine I just printed a cover note from the PDF copy that they send you via email, this seemed fine for the bike shop to gett he tax.

Bennetts have been a bit slow recently, took 6 working days to get the note for my new bike, it was a bank holiday on Monday remember and the day you set it up doesn't really count.

Just a thought - Go to a different insurer, get the cover note, give it to dealer, cancel within the 14 day cool off.

Bennets are fking useless, took them over a week to get insurance cert. out to me too. Also didn't appear on DVLA computer for a week either despite being paid for in full.
