“My New Plate”
Written on: 12/06/2013 by GeoffMin (2 reviews written)
I had thought about the idea of owning my own private no plate for quite some time and did as I'm sure most people would and searched long and hard through the numerous websites selling plates. Some didn't even bother to reply to my enquiries which I found strange. My dealings with The Private Plate Company turned out to be a very pleasing experience both in terms of price and quality of service, I was kept informed of the progress of my plate with nothing being too much trouble, I would...

I was in the market for a private plate something I had dreamt about for a while. After browsing various sites I stumbled across the PPC and was instantly attracted as to how plain and simple everything was. Staff answered the phone very quickly and after my initial enquiry about K4 EAV I rang again and was remembered which was lovely, you really feel as though you're talking to friends. It was a great experience. I was at no time pressured or hurried off the phone and the whole process was... (read more)

I am a first time buyer of a personalised number plate and was not really very confident. I made a mistake in stating what I wanted and when I realised this I e-mailed the company to ask for advice. I was absolutely amazed and very pleased that within a few minutes, at 8.00pm on Saturday evening of a Bank holiday weekend, Martyn actually telephoned me to discuss what I needed, put my mind at rest and took the details of the dealer from whom I was buying my new car to liaise directly with...

Written on: 17/04/2013 by Shreknotgreen
Once I had decided on my number plate, I found the purchasing process quick and easy. An email was sent almost immediatley asking me to send my details and relevant paperwork - with an s.a.e. - by registered post. It's well worth paying the extra £17.99 for someone from the company to literally go round to DVLA Swansea, sit there and get the registration certificate organised straight away. (Saves me sending it off and waiting weeks for it to come back!). Within days, I had received my... (read more)

Hi Patsy. Many thanks for the review. Greatly appreciated. We also feel its nice to be able to speak to someone when making a purchase. All too often you end up with an automated response with press 1 for this and press 2 for that. We are conscious that people like to ask questions, and thats why we are here to help. Thanks again.

During the transfer process numerous, unavoidable problems cropped up. i.e. DVLA went on strike, twice! There were 2 Bank Holidays, Martyn went on a well deserved holiday and DVLA locked my documents in a safe and forgot about them! Despite all this, Martyn kept in constant contact with me, from Dubai! and sorted the matter out with DVLA immediately on his return to the UK. Excellent communications, excellent service.
