I suppose they would describe it as a service to help you renew your licence but sneak £80 from your credit card for ‘helping’ you.
And then their excuse would be
''Did you read the terms and conditions as set out''
Hope he gets his money back,could he try and do a credit card chargeback.
''Credit card chargebacks happen when a customer requests their bank returns their funds for a purchase or when your customer's bank detects a problem with a transaction. They frequently occur when a consumer is unable to obtain a refund directly from you, the merchant, and instead forcibly takes their money back.28 Feb 2021''

This was my experience when we had a problem with some weird uber payments being charged to our credit card and I called the card provider while the transaction was still "pending".

He feels so foolish and he’s hoping his credit card provider can retrieve his £80.
He is not hopeful.
I tell you what, I’m glad you posted this, because my driving license is up for renewal next year.
I would have done exactly the same thing as your friend.
For me now, I will be going to a post office and enquire in person.

They sent me a letter with a code number on it.
I think I may be confused...the code number I believe now was renewing my tax.
I will enquire at my post office, when my license is to be renewed next year.
I also renewed my license once at a post office.
