Have just applied for my car tax online as normal 6 months for ?77.00 on the usual DVLA and when i checked my account i noticed i was charged a whooping ?119.00. Have just spoken to DVLA direct and they tell me that i was on what they call a copycat website which are legal and have basically charged me ?40.00 for the privilege.so please beware as this website looks identical as the official DVLA site. DVLA have checked the system and my tax disc is on its way. surely this this can't be right?

the fact that the mistake can be made, by someone acting in good faith and believing they're on the correct website, IMO means this practice should not be allowed until the user has the choice to tick a pop-up box which says something like 'we are not the target site, we are agents, we take a commission which is ?40).

It's sleight-of-hand trading so should not be legal.

No it's still current and live: http://taxdisc-directgov.co.uk. The domain was registered on 1 May, the registrant being Identity Protect Limited, and the registrar 123-reg.co.uk (ie Webfusion Ltd). Never mind: they have more available.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
