Has anyone bought a number plate off the DVLA site? Having decided I'd get one, I'm tearing my hair out. I set up an account, logged in, chose a plate, went through the card payment, then a page came up asking me to login, so filled in the login details and it then said it didn't recognise it. Yes, I repeated all this umpteen times, same result. Set up a new account, same thing. Tried to complain to DVLC and they sent me somewhere else because this "service" is run by a private operator. Filled in the complaint box, then had an email saying I'd get a reply within seven working days. Really frustrating. It's not as if I care that much about the bloody plate but I hate it when systems don't work and there's no explanation. I feel like going down to Swansea with a sledgehammer.
