DVLA & Phone numbers given

[Andy]

After recent times I could moan a bit more than the below, but won't, as things are in perspective now. However these are issues that affect many of us...

DVLA

Has anyone tried calling the DVLA and wanted to actually speak with a person? If so, I bet you had to try very hard  !

I must have gone through 4 separate 'choice' menus, choosing the correct one each time for my need, before having to start again as I reached the end of the option menus before getting through to anyone !

Phone Numbers Given

With recent insurance issues I've needed to call my insurers a number of times. I had only been given an 0870 number which is costly. However when they called me it was from a landline number - guess which one I'll be using now! Why do we, the customer, only get given 0870/0845 etc when landlines are available?

Use this site to find the Geographical numbers http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php

DVLA switchboard is 01792 782341

I always use that website, it is where I got the 01373 number for Eastleigh surgery

BT are now not charging for 1870 and 1845 numbers, which is good.
