If you mean can you pay to see your references, then yes. If the school won't let you see them, you can pay UCAS to show you them (not sure if it's something to do with freedom of information)
Yep you can, i'm an administrator for the department. Just PM me your bank details and we'll sort you out with a 100% offer guaranteed reference.

I would suggest that the database used by the plagiarism checker contains far more than the last four years worth of statements, they'll just be anonymised.
Why would I spent £10 to read about how fantastic I am when I already know it myself?

This is utter total rubbish.
You have no legal right to see a reference from the referee.
You do have a right to see it via UCAS because of the Data Protection Act.

Actually, we had admissions tutors from Manchester + Liverpool unis at our college who told us this, after our head said to everyone they can't see it.

I'd put what they say way above what you think you know.

Trust me OP, they have a legal obligation to show it to you IF YOU ASK THEM, if not, they don't have to.

They're lying.

Probably it's a bad reference and they don't want you to see it and get angry (Maybe not bad, but they haven't included everything you'd want), or they haven't done it yet.....

Note that you can only see if BEFORE they send off your UCAS, after that you'll have to pay UCAS.
