Scam texts and emails relating to fines continue to circulate. We do not send payment links in our texts or emails. If you get a message about a fine and are unsure whether it is genuine, please contact our call centre on 0800 4 FINES (0800 434 637) before clicking links or making any payment. Read more about identifying scams.
We will cancel your licence or certificate and record this in the public register. This will mean you can no longer work as a secondhand dealer or pawnbroker.
If you want to return to work as a Secondhand Dealer and/or Pawnbroker, you’ll have to apply again and pay the full application fee.
