Valerie, if I were you I would contact them to ask about it, because I thought that meant you would have to pay £3 extra for extra reference checks, not for 1. Kate.

whenever I have asked for reference checking before they have charged me the usual £7 and if it is not the one I want deduct £3 from it and refund £4. Today I was charged £10 to include 1 reference check, seems a bit much.
