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.

    • Try Gentrification, those with more money than sense who constantly want something different, when pie and mash isn't good enough for them.  "Argentinian Cornish pasties" give3 me a proper Cornish pastie any day of the week, at least I'd be supporting something traditionally British.   ps. tin hat at the ready........................🤣
    • You really have to go and look at the schools yourself, and do some research. My children went to the same school in different years and had very different experiences. Different school focus on different things. It's very personal. We bought close to the school I wanted to go to, and then moved a bit later, when they were old enough to travel on their own.
    • Not even remotely close to the catchment for charter north over there and would imagine outskirts of east (tho should check recent years). Would leave the Harris’s as more guaranteed options so maybe have a look at those and see if you’d be happy with them as a fallback 
    • Sorry, thought better of my comment .
