To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 153 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers found the platform easy to use, describing it as straightforward, helpful, and logical for completing tasks online. People appreciate the simplicity, especially those who are not very tech-savvy, noting that the process was quick and effective. However, a significant number of consumers expressed dissatisfaction with unexpected charges and recurring subscriptions, often feeling misled into signing up for services that were otherwise free. Many people reported being charged monthly fees for a 'membership' they did not fully understand, with some users having difficulty distinguishing the website from official government platforms. There were also complaints about the website's date entry field and issues with payment processing, leading some to abandon the process and use official government sites instead.

Quit simple but I did not really realise where I was going! A small fee but it only goes to the Government page which can be accessed without spending money. I do not see the point of this procedure... See more

To those who were happy with the service…

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.
