Latest update, I should have the application ready to post tomorrow although I’m not sure whether to wait until the newspaper ad appears in case there is any delay in it being published?
I also haven’t yet opened a bank account in my company name and VOSA say I will have to do that before my application is granted. I have an appointment with the bank in a fortnight’s time, I’m thinking it would be OK to post the opening statement to VOSA when I get it, 3-4 weeks from now?
Meanwhile, I had a phone call from Keyfuels today, somewhat to my surprise they have agreed to give me a fuel card without any type of bond or deposit required, I only applied on Tuesday and I take this as quite encouraging as they will obviously have done a credit check on me.
Harry, it is good news about the fuel card supplier, but, if you read the fuel price thread, they are not the cheapest, sometimes, it can work out cheaper paying by cash or credit card on the pump price

Thanks, I have seen that and I will be looking out for the cheapest fuel although having at least one fuel card will save potential problems.
Harry Monk:
Just checked, it’s done on a GV80A, no advertising required and no fee payable.
Harry, did you check by speaking to VOSA or just reading the form?
when i last asked about this with VOSA, they told me that it would have to be a completely new application
No its just a swop over no new applications needs jsut fill the form out and send off same as nat o lic but just a few diffrent ticks in diffrent boxes
