Rang them tuesday and was told they`d ring me back with a progress update in 24 hours. Heard nothing, rang again thursday and the phone gave a message stating "this phone number is not taking incoming calls" ....panic...!!!! Sent an eMail asking what was going on. Received a reply stating there was a problem with BT. Rang today and spoke to a very polite chap who said he would investigate the progress and get back to me by 4p.m. .....3.45 and the phone rang.....!!!! Apparently, I will have the tax disc and authorization to put my new number on my car by a week on tuesday.... I`ll give another update after then..
Mate I'm havin the same problem with them, there's sumat really fishy bout what there up 2. I paid 600 pound in november and there still fobbin me off. Iv now had to choose another number plate and they said it will be here in 7 days. Then my father in law rang me about an article in the mail on Sunday about people struggling with them for 4 over 2 years and they can't get there money back unless they take it to a small claims court. Im not feelin good about it mate but I will drive to there offices and get my money bak 1 way or another. Good luk mate I think we may need it :-@

Waited `til thursday and then followed the instructions of Leicestershire Trading Standards.. i.e. sent a Recorded Delivery letter stating that I was giving them one week to complete the transaction or refund my money, after this time I will be commencing with legal proceedings. As for payment with a Credit Card, .......surprise, surprise, they wanted payment by Bank Transfer or cheque........ I know, I know.... the alarm bells should have rung then but with them being a well-known name, I didn`t think anything would go wrong....

Thimk I might be in deep S**t. Paid £1200 for a plate in november , sent all the paperwork off....still waiting.... Since discovered loads of complaints from customers. Oh bo**ocks
I bought my plate a few years ago and it took about 2 months to come through - from N Ireland so not sure if that was whyI definitely paid them by card when I bought my plate a couple of years ago - so I wonder if there has been changes there.
Worth noting that the number I actually bought wasn't available and they offered me another, more expensive one in it's place for the same price, so I expect they are just a reseller for others.

Can anyone tell me, are cars registered and kept in Northern Ireland, accountable on the DVLA system at Swansea or do they have their own Vehicle Registration and license database..?
