Latest Complaints/Claims

I was daft enough to give the guy a payment and deposit in cash, I should have known better but I had previously known him to pass the time of day with I was a little off guard.

Knowing the guy makes it even more sickening to be messed about like this.

Like the others I was let down on the day with some Bull s**t excuse which put me in trouble. I was renting the van to help a friend move house and only found out that the van was not available the morning I was due to pick the van up, thanks a bunch mate!

Since then I have had every excuse under the sun and had multiple promises about getting the money, every one of them plainly lie.

I really don't know how this guy looks at himself in the mirror in the morning, it's frankly embarrassing.

The latest promise is Monday, after that its gloves off time. The guy needs closing down.

Watch this space

DO NOT USE.

THIS GUY IS AN OUT AND OUT LIAR AND IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

Windermere is the [Dark Clause] (link: http://renovationtrap.com/files/dark-anonymous.html)."  The Dark Clause strips the customers of free speech rights and keeps Windermere's business practices secret.

Should a customer persevere and win in trial court, Windermere goes to the Appeals Court and often to the Supreme Court, trying to have the case thrown out on a legal technicality. 

Is this "The highest ethical standards … Uncompromising ethics and integrity" as touted by Windermere Marketing? 

Windermere agents know that anything goes as long as they keep Windermere rolling in money.  Sponsoring "good corporate citizen" programs costs comparatively little and provides a wonderful cover.

For all the harm they do society, these business practices require criminal prosecution.  Surely the Jacobi beneficiaries, the Demco lawyers, and the marauding real estate agents should face prison terms.  Windermere has no fear of the government, however.  Through some magic of politics known to the rich and powerful, Windermere predators have little to fear from the Washington Department of Licensing, the Real Estate Commission, or the Attorney General.  

Please read about what this criminal enterprise had done to MANY innocent and unsuspecting real estate consumers:

I was duped into ordering acai berry detox tablets, not realising was for trial period which had to be cancelled within 15 days of receipt.  Upon receiving my bank statement, two transactions took place on 19th August for £74.72 and again on 2nd September for £75.10.  Told by my Bank that this was a scam and given a telephone number which did not work.  Thanks to this site and another persons complaint I found another telephone number whereby I cancelled my subscription.  I am now in the process of claiming back my £75.10 for a months supply which I have not received.  I was told that the first payment of £74.72 was for the product.  These tablets are the most expensive I have ever purchased. Oh and by the way, they don't work.  Once bitten, twice shy.  Never again. I have my doubts whether I will receive this but I will try.

try our 30 day risk free trial they say in there web add, just pay 3.95 post and package, we did 15 days latter they took 148.20 out of my credit card with out authority ,it seems hidden in the small print is this clause, you dont read it because the add streses it is risk free, do not deal with this company ,it gives a uk address but it is based in cyprus ,ihave had to cancell my card to stop any further moneys being taken out and i am 148.20 out of pocket,what a scam,there web site address is life cleanse,more like life scam.

I needed to make some extra cash so looked for companion agencies and came accross the supposed agency "evening encounters". 

I sent accross some details saying i was interested and was called within a couple of hours. 

They asked for some photos to see if clients would be interested and they were. I had a booking made for the wednesday eve and so had to pay my agency fee before the booking. 

However my booking was cancelled due to unknown circumstances, i therefore arranged another booking to which no avail. i have tried many times contacting my agent but with no reply. 

They charged me £373.75 and i am now a huge loss because of this. I am still contacting them to make them get me a booking but so far without success. My friend also did this exact same thing and the same has happened to her. We singed up at the same time.

Can we get money back?

I experienced the same - I booked this man for my 50th birthday celebrations for 120 guests. Not only did I pay £100 deposit but a total of £450 two weeks beforehand. On the morning of the event, his partner phoned to say he had been involved in a car accident and would not be coming! She promised to send a cheque - needless to say the cheque has not arrived and despite many phone calls and messages, I have had no response. The matter is now with the Police and the Trading Standards Office.

The man is a criminal - luckily I have managed to be reimbursed by my credit card companies since I paid by credit card via PayPal, but that is not the point - the emotional distress he caused me cannot have a price put on it. 

I bought life cleanse product on supposedly free trial at a postage only cost of £3.79, but was billed for tw0 further amounts totalling £147.54 without my knowledge or permisson. Iactually returned one of the fooloe-up items for refund but have heard nothing. the way this company operates ,I feel I Have been seriously ripped off. i cannot afford to lose that amount of money to some unscrupulous scam artist.

hi I signed up for a 2 week free trial of acai berry and life cleanser. when I have entered a wrong email account when iv realised my mistack iv tryed to get in contract with then to let them know without succes, when I eventually got incontact with then they had took 2 payments out of my account and shipped me these products, I only signed up for the free trial so am very annoyed. when iv first spoke to someone they cancelled my oder but they still took anohter payment out of my account, i have phoned up 4 times and they said that someone would be in contact through email because thats the only way they do it about a refun, they have my correct email account and as of yet i have still not herd from them. so iv just spoke to them in which case they said all they can do is send another email which is the same fob off iv been getting for the last 6 weeks, iv got the product to sebd back to them but they r not dealing with my case and have £300 pounds of my money!!!!!!!!

I would be extremley gratefull if u could do anything about this donna smith

a while ago i applied for an escort agency called 'model couples', i paid them over £300 so 'set up my profile', then they said my client would call me, my phone rang for 3 rings then cut out! they then called me and said that i had missed the call. the then put me on the 'prioty list' which would apparently get me a companion. i am yet to hear anything after 5 months. they will not give me my money back! after this, i needed to find a way to get the money i borrowed back to my friend, so i looked for another agency. i found lovely liaisons. she was so nice and seemed genuinely upset about what model couples did to me and said that she wanted me to have a better life as things are tuff being a single parent. she new my situation with how i struggle day to day to keep my daughter fed and happy. she said that she was going to report me to someone who could help. we had a long chat on the phone, i thought she was great and felt totally happy to give them the money, i was due to pay the money in today, but as i am reading this i can see that others have been conned by them... that £264 is staying in my pocket! thakyou to all who have complained. i would of lost that money if it wasnt for this site!

agreed a charge of less than a pound , received trial product just got new statement and they have taken £75.34 from my account for which i have not authorised or received any further products .  

Hello

I hope you can help me on the 29th of July I received a call from Match Maker Marketing from an agent call Tom advising me for just 25 euros a month I could avail of google ad words and have 5 phrases to advertise on google adds i said are you sure all this for 25 euros he said yes so I gave him my credit card details he said he was not authorised to process them and I would get an email to confirm all details on the call which i never received. Then at about 6pm Mr Poole called me to say the service offered was 99 stg I  said that I was told it was only 25 euros a month and he said a yeah with currency conversions 99 stg is 25 euros i said that is not the case nor will it ever be the case I was not interested in the service felt i had been mislead and to destroy my credit card number. They actually processed my card for £119 stg without my permission they did not send me an email to say this had occcured nor did my " account manager" call me to say they had set me up on this service , all of which should have occured had I agreed to this service.  I received an invoice on the 5th August an not only that but I noticed I was tied into a contract with them after being told I would need to renew this month by month.

I spoke to Shane the call centre manager, I was not given any explaniation as to how this occured no apology was offered either. I received a cheque and when I deposited the cheque I was short on currency conversions. I then spoke to Shane he agreed to refund me an additional £20 stg to cover currency converstions, fees occurred on card, calls to credit card company and calls to their offices in the UK. Now several emails and phonecalls on they are refusing to honour this refund saying I need a recording of the call whereby Shane agreed to this refund or an email. Shane has not returned one call or email I know there calls are recorded they will not forward me any information I have requested recordings of the call and Shane advised me he emailed accounts to chase up this refund on my behalf Shane will not provide me with copies of this . I am so disgusted and upset the way I have been treated and the way I have not received any apology.

Below is a copy of the last email from them saying they will not advise me who they are regulated by and their exectuive escaltions dept , they will not provide me with recordings of the calls.

 Dear Anne- Marie,

The situation is that you had,

£119 taken from your card on the 27/09/2009

You then disputed the charges ,of which you had at some point agreed to an agreement
with the saleperson as you where obviously happy to give over your card details.

This however was looked into from your comments and we more than happily refunded
you on the FULL AMOUNT OF £119 on the 05/08/2009.


At this point this is the matter resolved .What you feel has been agreed with
yourself and Shane, did not happen according to Shane and you have misunderstood.
Either way if you have no proof , I will not be changing what I have already
repeated a few times.

None of the following information will be provided as we have no obligation to do so
at this point.

The account has been closed & full refunded ,their is nothing further that I can do.

Regards,

Peter Dunbavin

Out of no where there was a claim on my debit account for a websaver, grapevine purchase. I do online shopping so I thought it was something I forgot about. But then for the next four months on the 19th or 20th, there were more charges to my account for the same 34.95. I contacted my bank and got it resolved. Now a few months later the name has changed but the 34.95 remains the same. I am pissed and will move on this much quicker than last time. How do they keep getting me?!?!?! I want my money back ASAP!!

I brought these not knowing they were coming from China. They look like the original GHDs but when I registered them they didn't register. I would like to try and get my money back

on or around the above date an obd11 scanner code reader was paid for.no scanner was received.proof that the money had been taken from my account was sent by recorded delivery post.i still have the proof of posting receipt.phone calls not answered,letters not replied to.a copy of the bank transaction was sent.still no response.£69-95 is the amount i wish to be refunded along with the cost of 3 letters and the recorded delivery letter.

Ashamed to say I have been scammed by this company as normally careful when buying online. I fell for a FREE SAMPLE - little did I know it would not be free but cost me £110 and a huge headache!

Although advertised as a 28 day free trial for international customers, they bill you £110 exactly 28 days from the order date, even though you don't receive the tablets for 10 days! So by day 18 of your 28 day trial your card has been charged and another 90 tablets are winging their way - even though they then take another 14 days to arrive!

Having cancelled the "trial" because the tablets DO NOT WORK, you then have to argue via email that it is false advertsising.  They refuse to refund my money because of their strangely worded terms and conditions.

My bank is investigating and I stopped my card immediately but it is unnerving to find out that even with the card stopped they can still debit your bank account!

Please learn from my unfortunate story, yes you can lose weight this way but not with the tablets but buy the gut wrenching stress of knowing that an unethical company are preying on overweight people and stealing their hard earned money!
