Warning to anyone who loses their driving licence!!

[alabasterpiaffe]

This is a warning to anyone who loses and needs to replace their driving licence.
DVLA charge only £20. Go to: www.gov.uk/browse/driving

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE I'VE JUST MADE and pay £60 for a load of forms from: DRIVING LICENCE UK ( www.drivinglicence.uk.com )
This is a rip-off service and their phone number is a premium rate, never-ending recorded message likely to cost around £10.
Please warn everyone you know not to use these people!

Somebody else started a thread about this the other day. It's the same if you're ordering a provisional licence for example.

It's annoying that it's one of the first things which comes up when you google too. It is a rip-off service and quite carefully worded though if you read, they are nothing but honest about the fact that they merely offer a checking service. I only recently learnt to drive so saw the site at the time. Very annoying to be caught out by it I'd imagine.

And there are similar rip-off sites for passports, EHIC cards, ESTAs (USA visa waiver), so be very careful when you're looking to get official documents online.

Sorry you've been scammed, OP.

I'm still so annoyed with myself for falling for it! I think I was just in so much of a state about losing my licence - and £100 cash that was with it in my bag! It's been a very expensive cock-up!
