Sb100

Rodney,

If that is true, there has to be some recourse with an internal foul up like that. I have heard that for any number of reasons, when they say all the SB 100 numbers are gone, in fact, there may be one or two lurking still due to mistakes, or someone finds out after the fact that the paper work isn't complete for one reason or another on some applicant and they have to forfeit the sequence assignment.

I would escalate this right to the Director's office in Sacto ASAP and not wait around for your local people no matter how helpful they have been. Simply alert them to the notion that you don't want to be left out this year after you had done everything correctly by their own rules....no offense to them... They would correct it if they could. Letters get action and written responses....phone calls get either ignored or another phone call. My past experience anyway. Keep us posted.

Well, after making several fruitless calls to several (916) and the 1-800 DMV phone numbers, I decided to visit 'my' DMV and spoke with the manager who handled the SB100 assignments. She got on the phone to Sacramento and found someone there who knew something, since this SPU (Special Processing Unit) was shut down after January 2nd. Anyway, the local manager was getting a little of the "run around" too.

When they shut down the SPU they sent the files "upstairs." The person in Sacramento said they will go upstairs and check the files and would call the local DMV manager back in eight (8) minutes. Well, twenty minutes later, Sacramento called back and told the local DMV manager that they decided to give me Doug's (Got The Bug's) SB100 assignment.

Just kidding Doug. Back to the story, the Sacarmento person said that my name is/was still attached the original SB100 number assignment that I received on January 2nd.

The local DMV manager seems to remember the double number issuance to the other person waiting in line with me and they corrected it "right there and then."

Sure can't wait for that paperwork to come in the mail OR NOT.
