Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 155 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the platform to be user-friendly, straightforward, and easy to navigate, making tasks like paying for vehicle tax less stressful and quicker than traditional methods. Reviewers, including those who are not particularly tech-savvy, appreciated the simplicity and ease of use, often comparing it favorably to government websites. However, some people were dissatisfied with unexpected charges and recurring subscriptions, often believing they were on an official government site. Customers reported initial small charges followed by monthly fees for services that are otherwise free, leading to frustration and concerns about unexpected deductions from their accounts. There were also complaints about the website's date entry fields and issues with payment processing, with some users experiencing difficulties with their 16-digit V11 numbers.

To those who were happy with the service I recommend you to follow up and check your bank account. I used it once and I was charged £7.95after providing my card details online. Yet it rurned to be a scam bag as they will continue to charge you on a monthly basis as a direct debit/standing order for "membership" which is continuous if you don’t cancel it.

GOV.UK or not??

Unfortunately, as I novice while taking advantage of the much publicised ‘Pay your Road Tax online’ campaign, I employed the clearly stated Gov.UK web address then continued with the first Gov.UK web-site. And, although the wording seemed correct, referring to online road tax, vehicle details etc. Thought I’d selected 1 year period @ £195. Requested payment. Proceeded with card details and then it referred to a Password to qualify???? That’s when I realised I’d blundered into an incorrect platform/web-site!!! Damn it!

Checked bank balance, £0.50 charge for vehicle search. Contacted DVLA explaining the mistake and suggesting they might scrutinise the GOV.UK sites seemingly hooking up to Road tax online business?
Then received a further charge of £7.95 for vehicle search?

Very poor UX at the end of the Process

Did not understand this bit at the end asking me to create a password - whether that was part of the process or optional. Its not difficult to create a process that makes sense so I suggest you fire your BAs that designed it.

Also, to leave this feedback I had to find an 'in frame' scroll bar, then scroll it and realise there is more stuff to complete. This is a very poor UX, whoever thought it is ok to go to production is pretty incompetent.

While I am at it...
Date of experience - how hard can it be to provide a normal date entry field instead of this stupid one with a sort of mask that does not actually do anything useful (in fact makes it harder)? Haha - you have to enter it YYYY-MM-DD!
