No worries, I'll find it out and post it on a sticky...
Maybe
this is why they need to put the cost of the SVA up...
Looks like it's
VOSA
SVA Section
Ellipse
Padley Road
Swansea
SA1 8AN
(from the Dec 08 IVA newsletter on westfield's site).
Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi folks!!
just spoke to a lovely lady at vosa.
she confirmed that the strand address is wrong.
I stated i sent my app there on friday last week, and i was a little worried. she took my chassis number and found all my details though. she
confirmed it has been received and the it is with the technical deptartment (hopefully just waiting for the cheque to clear). she said it will then
get sent to chadderton test centre, who will call me to arrange a date.
if i don't hear anything, ring them on thursday and they can confirm exactly what its up to.
hope this helps put some folks mind at ease.

Sent mine there (the strand) last saturday by guaranteed recorded delivery. I phone them up today to check if received. Yes it had been received and
was in processing. I have a 'Z' number and just waiting to hear from the test centre now.

same here!!!
will ring them tomorrow just to let them know what has happened and hopefully they will make a note on their computer system.
looking at some of the recent posts it looks like the transfer is happening quicker than 10 days but will be chasing them everyday next week until
they tell me they ave got them then I will relax untill then I foresee many sleepless nights.

Anyone else think thats a bit of a con???
Changing addresses JUST before the last date for SVA... and then not telling anyone so the forms are "delayed" in the post... hmmm IVA
money vs SVA money..... incentive or what

Sent mine out today to Strand too - recorded guaranteed delivery for Monday. I think I best guve them a ring on Tuesday to be sure it got there.
The VOSA website says nothing particularly special about the address change, so I'd say there'd be a fairly decent case to have your
applicaion accepted should they fail to receive it in time. If it happens to a lot of people, then there's very much a case for a big appeal.

It was in their december newsletter (that I only found today after seeing this post), and the press release for their posh new offices was from
December (right on the waterfront by the looks of it, no wonder IVA is gonna be 400 quid more!)
So they've had plenty of time, even for a govt. dept, to change the address on the damn forms!!! sneaky bugg3rs....

I sent mine last friday. will have to call them and see if they've had it. There's no way I'm being forced into an IVA due to their
balls up

now now boys !!
i'm sure those really nice helpful chaps at vosa are all doing their utmost to assist us all in our persuit of a sva pass. The very nice testers
must, like the very nice vosa staff, be under extreme pressure with all of our requests to fit a test in before iva. We should all be very greatful to
them in our hour of need.
p.s. - my forms go off monday

You must work for 'THEM' and where will you be sending your forms? to the address printed on the SVA1 form or to the one rumoured to be
the new correct address?

Oh S**T!!!!!
Posted mine off on Friday, to the address shown at top of form. 91-92 Strand, as Colin commented. If Royal Mail conforms to their usual efficient
standard, forms might make it - by the end of March!!!
Didn't post via Post Office, so no evidence/receipt to verify time/date of posting, so looks like I'm well and truly stuffed.
Oh well - wait for reply, and whether I'll have to go for the IVA.

Another mug here who followed the rather complex instructions to the best of his ability...this paperwork lark makes the building of the car look
easy!!
I sent mine on Monday by recorded delivery to the Strand address and they were confirmed received (by someone) on Tuesday. I guess I'll have to
phone them up and check that it is in the system. I don't really want to have to go through all that printing again to provide the amateur build
declaration evidence and all the photocopying of receipts. Took me all evening on Sunday...
Cheers,
Craig.
Edit: Just called VOSA and was told that there is postal redirection in place so no delays in processing are expected. I quoted my chassis number and
was told that it wasn't on the system yet but that "doesn't mean anything". Was advised to call back on Monday as I will then
be able to speak to the SVA applications team to see where my application has got to.
Hopefully no cause for alarm just yet...
