West Mids/Staffs Variation.

#1 Post by Egg on Leggs1 »

8 days which is even more amazing because 2 of those days were the weekend and 2 others were Christmas Day/Boxing Day.

I am impressed and a happy puppy.

I am with GMP and my variation was submitted 08/09/15 and I am still waiting:(

I have called twice to chase up and been informed it's being processed and there is nothing they can do to it speed up, in fact I was informed to expect up to 6 months for a variation which will be the normal turn-round for any variation from now.
Regards,

Like Geek, mine is still in the "system". Variations went in at the beginning of October....

My quickest 1-for-1 with West Mercia was 5 days from certificate being sent off to it landing back on the door mat.......longest was around 3 weeks.

They must have upped their game a bit, my SG renewal was submitted 3 months early and was finally granted over 6 weeks after the certificate expired.

My variation arrived back 02/01/16 - the variation was correct but the existing was incorrect - checked all identification numbers and sent an e-mail back advising of errors the same day!
