Let Down
New Member
Hi I hope you can help as I am losing all hope.
I received a 2 year ban for D & D in July 2015. I told I would get it back in 18 months if I completed a course and that I would be contacted. Since then untill now I have had no contact from the courts or the course company. Worried that I had not heard anything and that I was due my license back towards the end of Jan 2017, I contacted DVLA who advised me to contact the court. I spoke to a lady at the court and she emailed me a copy of the documents I should have received from the court soon after my conviction. I had not received these but acted promptly and called the company (Aspire) on the email. I advised that I had not been contacted and the lady from Aspire advised me that they had no record of me or any paperwork. I called the court back and advised the lady who I had spoken to what Aspire had said. The lady at the court advised me that she was happy to send them an email with my details. As I spoke to her I noticed that the paperwork stated that I had to have completed the course by 22nd November. This is where the problem lies. I contacted the DVLA, Court and Aspire on the 21st November. Which meant I was not able to do the course. The lady at the court asked me to email the court explaining what had happened. I did and I gave them full details as to how it had affected me personally and professionally and that by not getting my license back I would stand to lose the job I had just accepted as I have just resigned from my current job. They responded by saying that they could do nothing with regards to extending the date. I wrote back asking how I could appeal this as it was not something that I had done intentionally. I have heard nothing back. I am sorry about the long message, I really would welcome any advice.
Thank you in advance.
