A text arrived from this number at 02:54 am on 18/9/25 claiming to be from the DVLA, saying my payment hadn't gone through and urging me to update my details via //rebrand.ly/j4h0o20 to avoid fines. I haven't dealt with the DVLA recently, so it looks like another scam.
DVLA Scam Alert: Fake Payment Demands!

Expert Opinion
These calls and messages impersonate the DVLA to trick recipients into revealing personal details or clicking malicious links. Scammers often claim unpaid fees or fines to create urgency, but genuine DVLA communications never demand immediate action via unsolicited texts or calls. Do not engage with unknown numbers like this; block and report to Action Fraud. If concerned about legitimate DVLA matters, contact them directly through official channels. Safeguard your data by ignoring suspicious links and verifying independently—better safe than sorry with phishing attempts that could lead to identity theft.

I received an email stating the DVLA hadn't received my Direct Debit, yet I don't have a car or drive – clearly a scam.
Beware of DVLA impersonators – they’re dangerous scammers.
