Changing Spelling of my name

Hi,
Basically my mum registered my birth with one spelling, then when I was about 2 or 3 she read a book with another spelling in. So since then she has used my other spelling, for schools etc. The only problem is that my ID is with the origional spelling, and when I applied to the police they rejected me because my certificates for all my qualifications were in a different spelling. So I was wondering could I legally change my name to this spelling? I have looked online and it says about deed poll, however there are lots of different sites with different prices and whilst I want the best price I dont want to be ripped off and it not a formal document etc. Does anyone have any experience of this? Thanks
