license renewal

[2fingers]

i just recieved my renewal the other day with a letter say ing how much my license is going to cost, but only to find that if i wish to pay it i have to send it back with the money. you would think in this day an age that u would be able to bpay them or pay on your credit card like i did when i first got my license, has anyone else noticed this as well

[Niall]

They haven't put the prices up have they? 
WAHS did look into something where we paid online but DEC complained it would cost too much to update their website to do such a thing.
I guess they have to hold onto every cent they have now since they are getting flamed and sued by the public...

E-mail Adrian your credit card details, he can process it that way.

yeah, that's all I have ever done

I sent mine back the other day with credit card details. I then needed to talk to them about somethink else. Adrian Coleman is away and the person I spoke to informed me that htey can not process the payment until They recieve the annual return. I questioned the fact that you need to send in your annual report after the day after your licence expires. I was told that it is a technicality and as klong as I send my annual report  and licence renewal in within about two weeks of the expiry of my licence they wont mind.

i paid mine in the bunbury DEC office last year, i paid with credit card and it was a manual swipe thing from the 18th centuary.

If they still use eftpos machines from 100 years ago, i doubt an upgrade to allow online payments.

[AndrewHenderson]

Actually I didn't go by credit card come to think of it. You can pay through internet banking EFT. just ask for the details, all you need to put in the description when paying is the licence number and your name and it will get processed.

Lol Mike, I had to goggle "abacas" and nearly fell over laughing.

No one at DEC could manage a sophisticated piece of machinery like that  .
And if they could what use would it be? it would not fit the budget , all as you have done is give them another reason to increase the licence fees

No worries they employ an Asian student, who works part-time at the local takeaway, to do their calcs for them, cheap.
