The one that I have quoted seems to be a little more upfront but also emphasises the checking so people nervous of filling in the forms possibly think it is extremely complicated.
Mick try searching for EHIC, UK Passport etc.

"We are not affiliated with DVLA, the Department for Transport or any government body. You can apply directly with DVLA, at no cost, and without our checking/assistance service by using the DVLA application link below."
They are all required, (I think ) by law to state this. If not by law then by arse covering.
EHIC was the first one I came across when applying for a card last year.
Of course they come top in any search engine. Either by manipulating SEO or by paying, Google for example, an advertising fee for a prominent position. I am not happy with either of these options for social manipulation, or any other for that matter.

Admittedly they do inform at the start that you can go direct to the DVLA site and avoid their charges.
They do stress their checking services.
Two examples of their charges:
Road Fund Licence (Tax disc) refund - £35. You give them the info they then post you the form to submit. The form:
So, so simple to complete and how could you get it wrong? £35!
Declaring SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) - if the V% is in the keepers name then you do it online. This companys charge for the service £60!!!!!!!
