Theory Test booking site scam

I feel like a great big wally, my husband is learning to drive and I booked his theory test a few months ago and paid £56. I hadn't a clue what it should have cost. Unfortunately, he didn't pass so I booked it again yesterday and found that it was actually only £31! It looks like I wasn't concentrating and booked through a scam site that adds on costs making false claims such as free re-test, I didn't think of this, I just assumed stupidly that there was just one site to book through. Do you think I have any chance of getting a refund? I thought I was quite internet savvy, clearly not.....:o

You say they offered a free re-test. Are they now not doing this?One important thing to remember is that when you get to the end of this sentence, you'll realise it's just my sig.0

Is it really a scam? Most clearly state they are not the DVLA and that you can get the same for much less.
You paid for a service, You used the service. So what reason do you have for asking for a refund?Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
Can you link to the site, there are a few about but none that make any free retest claims that I know of.
They are not scam sites, they provide a service which books the theory test for you for a fee, but if you were promised a free retest why did you book it again for £31 when you could have tried to get it for free?0
