 DVLA Blunder-advice - Bart
I wonder if any one can help me out here?

6 years ago I was banned from driving for 4 years and near the end of my ban being uplifted I contacted dvla to find out what the exact date I can re apply for my licence, then I was sent from one department to another. I got told they have no record of me and I didn't have my driver number and she told me to apply for a new licence since they had no record of me and the judge told me I had to re sit my test.
So I did and I got my licence and passed my tests but two weeks ago I went to hire a van to take handicapped kids to the zoo but when I was at the car hire company I had to produce my licence and also my passport and It was brought to my attention that there was a spelling error in my middle name and I was refused the car.
I contacted dvla and they told me send my passport, licence, and birth certificate. Sign here and sign there and I don't know what they are doing and I feel they might prosecute me because they have not told me what to do next every time I ask them.
So far I have not sent anything to them out of fear that they might prosecute me because I didn't re sit the extended test.
I don't know what to do can someone give me advice please

Thanks in advance
