    I've not conceded your point at all.

    For the last time:

    Of course you have, because you have not provided a counter argument. In fact, you openly state that there isn't a counter argument against the point I've raised.

    So if somebody disagrees with you, they've missed the point of the thread?

    They've missed the point of the thread because they've posted at length about something not relevant to the key point being raised.

    It really is a poor way of debating.

    As is your objection v subjective nonsense.

    The website you think is 'legitimate' is shyster.

    It's a cracking way of debating.

    Encourage people to pay money to a rip off website for a service they don't need rather than go direct and save a not insignificant amount of money.

    Not going to the rip off website obviously means that no one will use the official free website, and so suffer huge losses and hassle when they don't have an ehic card.

    What's wrong with that logic?

    It does appear that this poster is associated with the rip off website as he hasn't quoted and denied my point earlier by the way.

    Then provide a clear counter argument.

    Keeping repeating this doesn't make it true. If you disagree then please explain why it's not legitimate (assuming they provide the service they proport to).

    Go back to the OP and see exactly how this third party provide a valuable service.

    I'm not encouraging anything, just pointing out a situation where these companies can offer a solution.

    And it's a very poor, but typical MSE response - if a poster supports a particular company or profession then they must clear be involved. I'll add EHIC card services to my growing list of accountant, estate agent, lawyer, parking enforcement, and other professions I'm not part of.

    I've gone back to the OP and I can't see how 'this third party provide a valuable service'.

    I'm really not sure that you are reading the same thread as everyone else.

    So you'd take your chances without a card ? Your choice, but potentially a very costly mistake.
