I was one of the first to write review about them years ago after getting CCJ against them. They complained - and I complained against 5 star review that was left under a name of one of the directors (now they are not that stupid). I believe all or nearly all good reviews about them are fraudulent. They also one of those "phoenix" enterprises - the company is now in liquidation so they trade as sole traders. CCJ is still unpaid. Avoid at all costs. If you are still tempted by low prices at... (read more)

An extremely stressful experience. Appalling customer service...rude staff, slammed the phone down on me on more than one occasion, didn't do anything they said thy would do. Timescales not stuck to. Made out that my registration wasn't expensive so what was I moaning about. A highly frustrating and stressful experience. SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND SHUT DOWN. Total rubbish - as confirmed by other registration providers and the DVLA. (read more)

Firstly, I found myself on this website because I bought a number plate for my wife from this firm. After over 50 days I contacted them by email to get an update, no replies, and since then I have sent couple of more queries regarding the number plate, and you guessed it, no replies. I can only blame myself for not checking the net before buying the number plate, but I paid by credit card and will be contacting them tomorrow. And secondly, Take any positive comments regarding this firm... (read more)

My wife clicked by now on EBAY for number plate ACC 947A. When she spoke to them a man told her she could not pay by PAYPAL or credit card and would only accept payment by BACS transfer. I rang back the following day and spoke to a lady who was helpful and i paid by credit card. The following day i read posts such as this and became suspicious. I subsequently rang DVLA who told me the number plate DOES NOT EXIST. I have been unable to contact them since! Fortunately i paid by credit... (read more)

I just wish I'd read these reviews before I stupidly gave them £400 for a private plate. We're now nearly 3 months in and he's just hung up on me when I questioned why I could speak to someone in person, they even have my V5 doc too, so that will be another £25 for a new one of those. Just amazes me that how in this day and age someone can set up a website and just take money with no apparent powers to get it back. I'm just about to put him through the small claim court, probably won't do... (read more)

We entered into a contract with these lying b*******s in November 2010 and to date we have received no registraton number, despite forking out £1500. I have to say that I am now convinced that Reg 4 did not have access to the number that I ordered. I spent hours on the phone listening to their lies and false promises all of which has ended up with nothing. After months of hasle trying to get my registration number I eventually received notification from Reg 4 that they could not fulfill... (read more)

I have been watching a plate with various dealers for about eighteen months now. I finally committed to it last month when I finally got the car I wanted and it looks stunning on my car. It was well worth the £5000 costs and I had the reg and plates delivered in exactly the quoted time frame. Great service and £750 cheaper than another dealer for exactly the same plate. (read more)

Hello PaulaWinter
I am same boat as you, paid £1400 for a plate they never supplied!! Rude staff, Bucket shop cowboys etc. Could write some ruder words but.....
It seems so many people have court orders against them and I have contacted the police and trading standards, who are looking into them. So i hope they like prison food as that is where they are heading VERY soon!!
What is happing with your court order? Do you need to get bailiffs to enfocre it?
Regarding all the people adding the good reviews on this company, I have a sneeky suspicion that they work or own Reg 4 Vehicles. (Name removed) you know who you are!!!

It took about 6-8 weeks for the number transfers to be completed but they clearly stated this in the original sale and the time scale was due to the DVLA procedures involved and not by any fault of theirs.

It has been several months since I paid over £1k for a plate from these guys, reassured by the restimonials on their website. So far nothing has materialised and they are virtually impossible to get hold of. They do not reply to emails, aren't open for much of the day, and refuse to answer basic questions on the phone. These guys are either dangerously incompetant, or downright criminal. I fear they are both. My money has been taken and I have recieved nothing but poor excuses and lies... (read more)

I went to buy a plate by card online. After a couple of days they made contact. Apparently the card didn't process so they wanted cash. After reading reviews I told them I didn't want to pay cash as I wasn't insured as I was with the card so I cancelled. They then threatened to take me to court. They took me to court. 12 months later they lost. This company bullies and intimidates people and should be closed down. (read more)
