dytkos 17,784 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) .....still nothing Hi Dave, got my phone call yesterday and my visit this morning. Had received a temporary permit in the post last week. FEO said they have 2 officers off long term sick and are running well behind so don't panic! They're number is 01392 452880, give them a ring and ask. HTH. Cheers, D. Edited to add, they also have a court case going on against a local hunter so that willl not help speed of service Edited May 4, 2011 by dytkos Quote Link to post

I popped my application in the post at the end of April (also Devon & Cornwall) - I'm interested to see how long the process will roughly take. Quote Link to post
Devon Fox 2 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 First application always takes a while. I have always found D&C reasonably quick, my flo is based in cullumpton and is a really nice lady, my last FAC variation took 7 days ! Sit tight ... It will soon be with you. Quote Link to post
davegilly 1 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 AH STILL NOT EVEN A PEEP Quote Link to post
kieran222 0 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 No harm giving them a call. I phoned up and asked if they had received the letter from my neighbour who was my referee. The girl that I spoke to asked me to hold on while she went through the application. After thanking her for her efforts, she then said that she would process it that day as she had it to hand. It may be worth asking a specific question about your application. It took just under 6 weeks to get my FAC. I am with West midlands though. Anyway a polite call may help. Good luck.
