Latest Complaints/Claims

HI

I enrolled for a work at home opportunity advertised online. After reviewing the company Terms and policy I decided this was not what the company had advertised in their introductory seminar. I decided to ask for a refund as the company, in its Terms, offered an unconditional refund. I have received an email saying my request will be passed on. Since this email approximately 1 week ago the company have emailed to say they have unsubscribed me from their mailing list and thats it. They have refused to answer any subsequent emails and i cannot reach them by phone as the number does not appear to exist. Where can I go from here?

Regards, John Lundon

I was also one of those desperate ,gullable people that wanted to believe there was a company out there that could help. I also was approved for a 5000.00 Personal loan. It amazed me at how professional, knowledgable, and helpful, they seemed to be. The problem with me is i am to trusting of people . I was told to send 920.00 to cover the 1st 6mo's payments due to my not so good credit. Of course that  sounded reasonable so i sent to some lady in Calvery, Canada via moneygram with specific instructions.. The day i was to have loan deposited, got a call from another so called "loan officer", he claimed after rechecking my loan agreement they needed another 6mo's payment up front before i could recieve my loan, i started to scream at him, then i knew i was being ripped off. I told him he better give a refund to me or i would call authorities, he got very defensive and tryed to tell me i would have to wait until the next billing cycle July 6th or something. I could'nt believe it how this happen to me, i knew i would never see the money or a loan again. I am so upset that i fell the scam its really hard to even talk about. When i think how i really could have used that money to pay for my health insurance.

I contracted with Paradise Landscaping on 05/26/09 for paving work and gave them a $750 deposit (50% of cost). Four weeks passed and I heard nothing from them.  I called and they stated they "lost my phone number".  They scheduled to complete the work on 07/01/09 - no call, no show, would not return my calls.  I sent them a certified letter on 07/06/09 for which they then called me back.  They rescheduled to complete the work on 07/16/09 - again, no call, no show, won't return my calls.

THIS COMPANY IS CHARGING MY BANK ACCOUNT 34.95 FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION.  I DON'T KNOW THIS COMPANY AND I CAN NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM.  SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.

This company should be in court! They send the wrong item and then try and deduct the p&p costs from your refund. Any DECENT business would hold their hands up and apologise. NOT UKPHONESALES.COM.

Why should Joe public pay for their mistakes and illiterate staff?

If you have been duped by this company, find something really heavy, box it up and send it to their Freepost address. They might realise then what it feels like!

I will be posting my gripe on every forum I can find

Car was faulty or defective

The following would be considered a proper resolution:
Financial compensation

Complaint Details:
I initially rented the vehicle on the 5th July 2009, from Dubai international airport. The lease agreement is for 2 months minimum. After accepting the car, and going round the car for inspection, I found the car in an tidy condition, both inseide and out. However I pointed out all of the faults, and I was informed, that a replacement vehicle will be provided, when one becomes available.Upon driving the vehicle to my first destination, I found the vehicle to be, in an unroadworthy condition. Main faults being. The vehicle steering strayed, the steering wheel vibrated violently upon reaching 70km ph and above. The ride, felt as if there was a possible ballooning in the tyres, after closer inspection, \i found this to be the case. I immediately tried contacting the local supplier, but to no avail, the telephone just continually rang out. I then tried contacting the head office in London, from where I initially booked the vehicle. After 5 attempts, after being cut off, i eventu!
ally got through to someone, who I must say,was very sympathetic to my case. She managed to contact Dubai on Thursday 16th, where I was informed that someone will contact me with a replacement vehicle. Bear in mind, the said vehicle has been sat in a public parking bay, costing me 20 Dirhams per day, from the 6th July.

Eventually, someone contacted me on the 18th, and we arranged to swap out the vehicles. The National representative arrived with the replacement vehicle at mid day. We proceeded to inspect both the vehicles, but once I clapped eyes on the Interior of my replacement car, I was appalled to say the least. The seating looked as if it, had been used by a bunch of Geordie Scaffolders, burn marks all over, and cike stains, to name but a few. Part of my job, is to take out clients for entertaining, but this car would only embarass both myself and my company. My company would fire me, if they thought I was picking up clients in this disgraceful car.

I read the advert in local newspaper in herald express and called them and they said you will be selected if you answer few questions and then they said to deposit £399.00 for membership and said you will get work in 4-5 days as it takes a while to update profile and they said the clients are waiting that was Anna i spoke to after that Isabel contacted me and asked me to make a deposit of £2000.00 for bond and she said they are making a deposit for it as well of £8000.00 for confidentiality of the client. It was really stupid of me to do that because Isabel said funds will be released as you meet the client on friday. And since then I have literally  contacted them every day and they have been quite rude sometimes.Salena claimed that she is a supervisor and will take care of everything nothing has been done.Then at one occasion I spoke to William he claimed himself as a big person in the company and will take care of everything and I did try to get in touch with these people again but all the operators say they are in a meeting and will get back to u when they are free. There is so much loan on my head and I thought I can get rid of some loan quickly and be debt free but unfortunately  I got more into trouble because this company keeps making excuse that finance department will take care of it soon once they are busy.Could please help me to get my money back as I gave money from the loan funds which I borrowed for my dauhters uni. I really dont know how to thank if u do so

I was called by Ms. Tammy Fry and was told that i was approved for my loan. All I need to do was make a secrity deposit of four months payment of eight hundred dollars. I did so and she had the inofrmation and I was told that it would take up to twenty four hours and the money would be in my account. On the day the money was supposed to be deposited i was contacted by Customer service. I did so they informed me that the lender back out on the loan and this never happens they dont know why this happened to me. They then told me that they were going to give me a loan for more money than I wanted and I had to come up with eight hundred more dollars. I then told them that I wanted my money back and I did not want the loan any more. They informed me that i would have to wait till July 12 when they cut checks and return my money. I have yet to see my 1600 dollars. When I try to call it tells me good bye and hangs up on me.

Tracfone is a wireless service provider in the USA.  They have ripped me off by deactivating my phones for no reason and changing my phone number for no reason.  Their customer service is really non existant becaus they do nothing to help except say they are sorry for any problems.  The problem is it was a business number listed in advertisements and with 2 number changes in a month and a half there is no way to put a price on what they have cost me.

I would advise anyone asking, DO NOT USE TRACFONE.!

I SIGNED UP THINKING IT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO EARN SOME QUICK CASH BEING A STUDENT I NEED MONEY TO PAY FOR RENT ETC. SO I BORROWED THE MONEY FROM A FAMILY MEMEBR THINKING IT WAS FAIR ENOUGH THAT THEY WOULD EXPECT A FEE IN ORDER TO 'MARKET' ME. I WAS CALLED UP AND TOLD THAT I HAD BEEN PICKED BY A REGULAR CUSTOMER NAMED TOM WHO WAS AN AMERICAN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. THE COMPANY ONCE RECEIVING MY MONEY TOLD ME THE CLIENT HAD BEEN GIVEN MY NUMBER AND WOULD CALL ME THE NEXT DAY TO ARRANGE MORE DETAILS AND BREAK THE ICE. THE WOMAN I SPOKE TO WAS CALLED VICKY. A FRIEND TOLD ME THAT HE HAD DONE THIS THING ONCE AND HE HAD BEEN GIVEN A SIMILAR STORY AND THAT I HAD BEEN SCAMMED. I THEN GOOGLED THE COMPANY AND FOUND THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY. I RECEIVED NO PHON CALL FROM THE CLIENT AND CALLED UP ON THE DAY OF THE MEETING TO SAY THAT THE CLIN HAD FLU AND HAD BEEN ADVISED TO STAY IN BED. SO I ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK IN WHICH THE WOMAN AT THE OFFICE WHO ARRANGES CLIENTS FOR ME SAID NO AS THEY ARE FINDING SOMEONE FOR ME SAYIN IM HIGH PRIORITY. 

I foolishly purchased the GHD PURPLE STRAIGHTENERS/GIFT SET from ghds-in-uk.com FOR £76.38 inc p&p. It stated it was an official retailer. There was no mention of the item coming from overseas/China. It stated that I should receive my item within a few days.The only payment option was via Pay Pal. Payment acceptance e-mail from [rober-lloyd@hotmail.com] (link: mailto:rober-lloyd@hotmail.com) Stupidly I thought this was a fairly secure method of payment.I did not receive the item when expected so I e-mailed (no phone number avail) but received no response. Received them nearly two weeks later from CHINA! Tried to register them on Official GHD site & they are FAKE.Still no response from seller or response via Pay Pal.PLEASE AVOID BUYING CHEAP STRAIGHTENERS. IF THEY ARE CHEAP THEY WILL NOT BE GENUINE

Same story as the others really.  Only when I mentioned the possibility for them to make even more money they answered my emails. Recently received the money back after having posted a compaint here and forwarded the link to the complaint to the Adult DVD site.  The other complains on this web site (search ADULTDVDSITE insread of ADULT DVD SITE) denonces the company as fake, just a scam or as they say boggus. I do not know whether it is true but their methods are not buisness like. I will definetly never order again from this company.

Cardsave are a merchant service provider company for retailer credit card services. They telphone companies to get unsuspecting retailers to change service providor, proclaiming that early termination fees from other providers are illegal, and that transfers are free of costs. Once you sign, this is untrue, and Cardsave levy extrotionate cancallation fees against the retailer - the very thing they say can not be done. The representative was fraudulent in his offering, he misreprented the facts and this company portrays to be reputable. This has left me with a dispute and costs in excess of £500 because the rep was deceitful, dishonest and unscrupulous. I hae been conned - PLEASE DONT LET IT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE

They took $4.00 shipping fee and then within a few weeks with no product sent - they charged me $175.85.  I wrote back asking they desist from charging me anything more and refund my money as I hadn't received anything.  I got a series of gmail addreeses telling me that they wanted their product back before any refund - but I had received no product.  Finally my credit card company refunded the $4.00 and then the $79.95 plus exchange rate and shipping fee, as it was over 30 days since the origianl transaction and I had received nothing.

Then this Monday I received the pills by mail.  I haven't opened the package and want to send it back to their 434-3044 Bloor street west address but I don't want to pay one cent.  There is still the $85.90 plus exchange plus shipping fee on my credit card and I am not sure what to do.  Can you please advise?  Thanks.

Were do i begin!

I looked at my bank account this morning and noticed a transaction for £72.87 for something called ViV3.com. Now i have had problems with this company before i am still trying to get a FULL refund from them since May this year!

I phones them after reading there website saying that they take card fraud very seriously and i could either phone or email them and their Customer Service team would be happy to help.

What a load of poo, after speaking to my bank to close my account. I phoned viv3 and spoke to someone explaining that this was not my transaction and needed a refund asap.

He said that the transaction was done in the name of an Emma, who turns out to be my 3 year old daughter!! he said that he didnt believe a 3 year old could put their details forward for an order. I agreed and he accused me of ordering something in her name!!

I was outraged, i have worked in customer services for over 7 years. It is not acceptable to accuse anyone, that's what investiagations are for!

I asked to speak to a manager and was told the only way i could speak to a manager was through email and there was not a service were i could make a complaint (another HUGH error in customer services)

No one should be subject to a company who couldn't care less and false advertise on there own website!

Help please something has to be done!!!

So until then im gonna continue recieving nsf fee.!!!!!

I applied for a loan online and was contacted by redford financial. I then went through a series of phone calls and paper work. They then told me that they had a lender for a secure loan for $5,000. I was then told that i had to make a collateral payment of seven monthly payments witch added up to $800. I made a wire transfer payment to Allison Lebby of Brandon, Canada. Redford then contacted me back and said that the lender had reevaluated my credit and would be required to make another payment of $800, which i did. They then contacted me again and stated that the lender had backed out, but then stated they had found another lender for a $10,000 loan. They told me that i would need two more payments of $800 or they could give me a refund of my $1,600. I chose to get the $1,600 refund. I was then told the refund would take place on July 15 2009. I have not received the refund and cannot get ahold of redford financial. Please email me at [langstagangsta77@hotmail.com] (link: mailto:langstagangsta77@hotmail.com) with any help you can give me.
