Had the following email today............nothing to do with me so I suspect it is a scam with the attachment holding all sorts of troubles.    Important: Confirmation of your successful

Direct Debit instruction

Thank you for arranging to pay the vehicle tax by Direct Debit.

Please can you check that the details attached below, and your payment schedule are correct.

If any of the above financial details are incorrect please contact your bank as soon as possible. 

However, if your details are correct you don’t need to do anything and your Direct Debit will be processed as normal. You have the right to cancel your Direct Debit at any time. A copy of the Direct Debit Guarantee is included with this letter. 

For your information, the collection will be made using this reference, and this is how your payment will be detailed on your bank statements:
