How to Handle Refund or Credit Errors with DMV

If you encounter an error indicating that a refund or credit is due because the posted amount exceeds what is owed, it’s essential to follow the correct procedure for resolution. This article outlines the steps you should take and provides important information regarding fee submissions.

Step 1: Contacting SPU or DMV Field Office

The first step in resolving your issue is to send your request directly to either the State Processing Unit (SPU) or your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) field office. It’s crucial not to bypass this step since they are equipped to provide accurate assistance in addressing any discrepancies related to refunds or credits.

Step 2: Including Relevant Information

When submitting deals to a field office, make sure to include specific comments that clarify your situation. For instance, including "BPA system down" in the statement of facts can help explain why certain fees could not be processed through Efile.

Important Note:

• If there are fees due on Friday, the 19th, these should also be sent directly to the field office for processing.

Step 3: Posting Fees at DMV Field Office

To ensure proper posting of fees at a DMV field office, remember these key points:

• You must include a transmittal with a paper bundle when sending documents.
• Copies of all transfer documents should accompany your submission.

Payment Options for Fees Due

You have several options available when sending items and paying associated fees:

• If there are outstanding fees, SPU can process payments via ACH without needing a check. This method simplifies transactions significantly.
• If SPU cannot process payment through ACH for any reason, they will forward your item as a Walk In submission so that it can still be handled appropriately by staff at the field office.

Conclusion:

Taking these steps will help ensure that any errors regarding refunds or credits are addressed efficiently. Always keep communication lines open with both SPU and DMV representatives throughout this process for optimal support and guidance.
