It is cheaper to call the US than the DVLA, thanks to its wretched 0870 number, a report from Accountants for Business pointed out. You're more likely to get a better result from a call to the US, too. I recently tried to buy my tax disc over the phone, but after hours wrestling with the DVLA automated telephone service (I'm exaggerating, but only a bit), it refused to sell me one on the grounds that I didn't have insurance. In a panic I rang the AA, which had sold me my car policy. 'No, your insurance is fine - we can see the policy here. There must be something wrong with the DVLA computer,' they said. The DVLA wouldn't accept this and as I was only trying to buy over the phone because I had misplaced my MoT certificate, I had no choice other than to get the car MoT'd again.

Icstis, the premium phone lines regulator

It proved itself the archetypal toothless watchdog by failing to be proactive and waiting for disgruntled consumers - and us - to highlight problems. We brought to its attention a number of complaints about the giant of the industry, Monstermob, and Icstis eventually lumbered into action, fining the company £10,000. But we still don't know why the watchdog then mysteriously took more than a fortnight to publish this adjudication on its website.
