Removals Van Help?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can help me- I am due to move house next week and having trouble hiring a removals van due to a speeding ban in December 2010. I was banned from driving for 6 months so got my license back in June 2011 but companies are refusing to hire me a van for the day due to a TT99 on my license, do any of you know a company that would be willing to hire me a van for the day?

Many Thanks!

    Don't know anyone who will hire you a vehicle, but Pickfords will sort out all your removals.

    (Other removal companies are available)
