Let's put it this way...

I just had my license renewed in Galleria last week, after two failed attempts in MegaMall. My birthday falls on September 24, so I was renewing a full month ahead of schedule to avoid any hassle.

But when the guys at the DLRC were processing my papers, they kept coming up with a PhP 75 fine that I had to pay. That's according to their so-called centralized computerized system. Turns out that their central records, for some strange reason, registered my birthdate as January 24. And because of that, technically, I had to pay the fine because my license to their computers' eyes, was expired. I didn't mind having to pay the 75 bucks. But to rectify the error, I will now have to go to their licensing center in San Juan. Seems that the Galleria guys wouldn't be able to do it from their end.

Can you just imagine the inconvenience this will cause? Just because some moron entered my birthday incorrectly in their central records? The guy at the counter in Galleria could only apologize. He, too, admitted that the situation was darn right stupid.

So, I just hope that the clerical error that you're experiencing is not the work of some dimwit in their central office.
