Name & Shame

Sadly, poor business practices, rip-off's and scams occur every day in the UK.

When I receive a complaint, or discover a business that's not providing good customer service, or worse, I will not hesitate to Name & Shame them.

Businesses don't like bad publicity. Customer retention is vital to a company of any size, for several reasons.


Firstly, it’s far more expensive to obtain a new customer - than to keep an existing one. That’s because wooing new customers often entails a higher level of costly marketing and advertising efforts and sales promotions to create awareness of, and desire for, a product or service.

Secondly, existing customers who are satisfied with a company's product or service are likely to become repeat customers, and are apt to recommend the business to friends and colleagues. In our global, extremely competitive business environment, holding onto customers has never been more critical.

Unfortunately, not all businesses see things this way. Some see sales targets and quick profits more important than providing an honest service, and will use tactics that are close to being a illegal, whilst others do things that are clearly dishonest.

If you have a complaint against any business - contact us !!

Debt Collection Agencies

Many unscrupulous Debt Collection Agencies have been ripping off British people for years. They often bully people into paying using any illegal, unlawful method they choose in order to collect a debt - whether false, alledged or real. These agencies 'buy' debts for a tiny percentage of their value and attempt to collect the whole amount due. The main problem with these (dare I say) parasites, is the way they attempt to collect these debts when they have no legal right to do so.

A debt isn't a debt without an original agreement (OA) being produced. For instance, under the legislation contained within section 77 (1) and section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, you are entitled to receive a copy of your credit agreement on request. These DCA's often have no OA, but still add interest, threaten court action and force people into paying. It is alledged that one Debt Collection Agency in particular named Cabot's use methods that are VERY questionable. They'll even attempt to collect debts that they know are statute barred.

If you are contacted by any Debt Collection Agency - be aware of your rights!

MoreThanTraffic.com

Here is a message I received from a consumer:

"The company is (MTT) MoreThanTraffic, they have been selling "Guaranteed Sales". Actually they promise "Guaranteed Profits" of £62,000 within 4 months. Once they hit that target you then pay them £9,300 out of your profits. If they fail to hit the targets, then you do not have to pay them that money. They do however charge a £105 set up fee. I ordered 2 such accounts with them costing a total of £210, One on 6 April 2006 and the other 12 April 2006. As yet I have not received a single visitor to either of the web sites for which these orders were placed."

"Whenever I email them concerning this matter all I get back is an autoresponder reply telling me to send another email and that then a human being will respond. Needless to say that never happens. "
