7 yearsSomeone called me ages back that I didn’t recognise, and now my bill has this random £12 fee tacked on for a 7-minute call I didn’t even make. Strange!7 yearsBE WARNED! Don’t ring 0844530118 - it turned up on my phone bill as a ‘service user call charge’ for £5 this month! After digging a bit, I found out my disabled lad must’ve dialled it trying to get through to the DVLA. It’s outrageous that this number is ripping off vulnerable folks like that. I can’t understand why no one’s cracked down on it yet. From what I hear, the proper DVLA number is actually 03007906801. Surely there’s some authority who can step in and stop this nonsense?DVLA7 yearsI just got charged £15.08 after being on the phone for 23.12 minutes. Virgin charged me 45p per minute on top of that. Honestly, watch out when calling 0844 numbers, they can end up costing a fortune!Virgin7 yearsI've found myself hit with an extra charge of over £15.00 on my bill for this number. Truly appalling, if I'm honest.7 yearsFalling foul of the DVLA again. It’s ridiculous that these numbers are connected to government services. Got charged £4.55 just to say I was told not to drive. Totally unfair!DVLA7 yearsI rang this number thinking it was the DVLA but ended up losing £5.00 to a scam. Can anyone tell me how to get these cheats closed down? It's ridiculous!DVLA7 yearsI've noticed three mysterious calls from this number popping up on my bill, and it's cost me a staggering £12! The puzzling thing is, I can't recall ever receiving those calls!7 yearsI've noticed three mysterious calls on my bill that total £13...!! I can’t even remember making them!7 yearsI got charged £22.17 for phoning the DVLA, but the fault was on their side, not mine. It's a complete rip-off. Why isn't the DVLA cracking down on these scams?DVLA8 yearsHad a call from someone saying they were from the DVLA, but honestly, I wouldn’t bother ringing back. The charges they mentioned were ridiculously high, it felt like a total rip-off! Avoid it if you can!DVLA8 yearsGot my bill today and noticed that number on it. Luckily, it only cost me about £1.64 plus VAT, so not too bad. A while ago, my Doctor gave me that number after telling me I wasn’t allowed to drive for half a year. He found it on the DVLA website to help me send my licence back. I really should have looked it up myself before calling though!DVLA8 yearsI just got hit with a charge for calling, even though I wasn’t sure if it was meant to be a free number or not, so I hung up after a couple of rings. I was trying to find out about the disabled tax discount and benefits, but honestly, if this is a scam, the people behind it must be feeling pretty pleased with themselves.8 yearsI had a similar experience just recently. I’d lost my driving licence, so I wasn’t really thinking straight, feeling pretty stressed. It’s awful how these sites take advantage of people when they're already upset. Honestly, this site really ought to be shut down.8 yearsI noticed a charge of £3.50 for a supposed 5-minute call, but I can't recall chatting with anyone at all. It's quite puzzling!8 yearsI was trying to find a contact number for the DVLA and came across this one. I nearly clicked on the link to their site but got a weird feeling since it didn't have the usual .gov.uk ending. Proper glad I looked up the number here first before ringing it. Another bunch of scammers, honestly, they deserve to be stopped completely.DVLA8 yearsI've noticed a charge on my statement from a number I don't recognise. It seems rather dodgy to me, and I'm starting to suspect it might be a scam.8 yearsI was searching for the DVLA number and called this one in the early evening. Got a recorded voice saying the lines were busy and to ring again later. My phone flagged it as a potential scam, but the caller ID showed "DVLA Contact Number" so I figured it was legit. Then I looked up the proper DVLA number - remember, the genuine site will always say Gov.UK - and called that. Heard the same exact message, so they're clearly pretending to be the DVLA. Tried the right number again, which begins with 0300. Not sure how much that quick call set me back.DVLA. UK8 yearsI’ve rung the DVLA twice now and ended up paying over six quid! Honestly, it feels a bit nasty to be charged that much just for a couple of calls, don’t you think?DVLA8 yearsTried ringing a number I got when I was trying to contact the DVLA and got charged £10 in just a couple of minutes! After a bit of digging, I learned DVLA numbers usually begin with 0300. Definitely gonna be more careful next time.DVLA8 yearsI was under the impression it was the DVLA I was ringing, but it turned out to be something else. The worst part is I got charged almost £5 for just an eight minute chat. Honestly, feels like I might have been duped.DVLA8 yearsI rang this number earlier and ended up waiting for more than 7 minutes on hold. Got a bit suspicious and ended up hanging up. Turns out, the real DVLA number is actually 0300 790 6801. I've reported this dodgy number to the DVLA and they’ve marked my complaint. Looks like these scammers are well known to them.DVLA8 yearsNo clue who this is, but they've somehow taken nearly £20 off me. I'm definitely blocking this number now.9 yearsI'm curious about the identity of the person behind this phone number that's been ringing me. It’s peculiar that 08435076424 appears to originate from the same location, denoted SC008. Why is it proving so difficult to track down?9 yearsI came across a site called http:/www.dvla-contact-number{###].uk which charges way too much for a phone link to the DVLA. It popped up pretty easily on Google as well. Lesson learnt: always double-check the website address. If it’s not ending with .gov.uk, steer clear of it. The official and legit link is actually https://www.gov.uk/contact-the-dvla.DVLA9 yearsApparently this number is meant to be for the dvla but the dvla themselves have no clue about the site that says this is their contact. Feels like a fake pretending to be dvla to get your money for a useless call. Total waste.DVLA9 yearsGot charged £9.45 for a call, but I haven’t a clue who it was from.Submit Your Own Report (0844 453 0118)
