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.

100% SCAMMERS/THEIFS

Don't remember ever signing up to anything ever and been taking £7.95 a month for nothing. Never heard of you and never had a single communication from you.
Totally illegal practice and nailed of scammers.

Im sure I will get your generic automated robot reply of "i am sorry your experience was difficult......."

I nearly got caught out as I thought it was a Gov website. I filled in the form ready to pay when I noticed the 50p charge and subsequent £7.95 monthly for information otherwise available for free. They sent me chaser emails with a link back to their website for what I thought was full tax amount payable.
