Just been ripped off
« on: 17 September 2009, 21:11:20 »
And swmbo said it was my fault, clever cloggs >:(

Master Vamps asked me to book his theory test, he said just type in 'riving theory test' so I did, and simply clicked on the first on the list, I did not look at any others ::) ::)
So booked it through 'Theorytest.net' without realising it. I did say that it was expensive £48 and thought it was odd that however you pay you pay through paypal.  Not a problem anyway, I have a paypal account so signed in and paid.  Job done. :y

swmbo has been sniffing around, the true cost of the test is £31 so I have paid £16 in agency fees, and of course because this was a paypal payment I cant stop it, though not sure you can stop a debit payment anyway, but you can with a credit card, which is what I would usually use when buying anything on the Internet. And yes, I did tick to say I agreed with their terms and conditions >:( One lives and learns.... >:(

I can't understand how you are allowed to book through a third party, it's not like there are many centres to choose from. As you say, you live & learn.

 I managed to do this all by myself thank you very much  :P :P :P

It is a genuine, he will get his test, you just pay more for it.  How a government department can allow such a thing is a different story.... ::) ::)
