Never ending frustration

I tried to convert my UK CPL to a MY one two years ago.

I paid the CAA about £70 for a letter attesting to my CPL and went into the DCA. Unfortunately I was a few (about 50 hours) short of the 500h requirement.

I said no problem, and returned a few months later with 500 hours. They then told me that they had lost the original letter from the CAA (I was not sent a copy) and I would have to start the process all over again.

I have so many other extant issues with the DCA that I have virtually given up on the CPL one - but may have another go in a few months time.

On reading the Policy note it seems to strongly indicate that the 35h Multi-Engine training is not relevant if you have 500h in total. I was only applying for Single Engine CPL - and have Zero hours Multi, is this also likely to be a problem ??
