Using this company and their services was the worst days work i have done and a complete waste of money

Put their phone number on your reject list, and if they have your email, change it, or spam their incoming mail, that way you get rid of them.

Using this company and their services was the worst days work i have done and a complete waste of money

This company has a total lack of moral and ethical consideration for any business other than their own.
They claim that "complaints are rare", just type their company name into google for an answer to that. In fact there are more google hits on complaints about they way this company operates and its aggressive staff, than there is actually promoting motortrades.co.uk
You only have to look at some of these complaints websites to see they obviously have a team of complaints staff who trawl the Internet in an attempt to dampen the rapidly growing bad feeling about their company.
Their so called "small print" is (and will be if you sign up) nothing more than a poisoned wand upon which they will wave in your direction after they have conned their way into your business and thoroughly raped you of THOUSANDS OF POUNDS.
They really are the scum of the earth with regards to business ethics and try to retain their customer base by way of THREATS.
DO NOT SIGN UP TO motortrades.co.uk motortrades limited or anything else - if you are considering it, just read their terms and conditions they refer to as " small print " on their website, the fact you have to enlarge it to 200% before its readable should say it all.
Of course they are pleasant when they first want your custom and to get you on board, the following year they will increase their fees (in my case) by over 1000% and then threaten you with legal action - but that is complete waffle and hot air, they have never pursued me for which they say I owe them £16000.00 for the second year of advertising. DO NOT USE, AGREE OR SIGN UP TO ANYTHING TO DO WITH motortrades or motortrades.co.uk

Dear “Former Customer”

We’re sorry to hear of your complaint made earlier tonight. You’ve raised a few issues, which we’d like to clarify.

In terms of complaints, it’s important to bear in mind we do have around 350, 000 listings live, and we have around 30 complaints on-line. Now, whilst 30 complaints, is 30 too many, it represents around 1 complaint for every 12, 000 listings, which is a manageable number, and probably about right for a business of this scale and in-line with competitors, including Yell and BT Customer Street.

The prices you have quoted in your posting are not an accurate reflection of our rate card, our prices have not risen in 2012 and we have a price freeze until 2014 – the costs quoted to you for a campaign in 2012 would be for a different level of exposure, and we’d certainly not be seeking an increase of 1000% for a like for like order, as you have stated.

Regardless, for an order to proceed, you have to confirm the order by way of a recorded telephone call and then sign our standard agreement. If you do not wish to renew the current campaign or have a query on pricing, please do not place an order – and you will not be billed!

If you have a customer service issue, we’d love to speak to you to put it right, please feel free to call us on 0845 468 2000 asking for Operations on extension 7803 or email directly to [email protected] and we will resolve your complaint immediately.

Thank-you.

What a total bunch of theives. This so called company are no more than telephone warriors that bully unsuspecting people ( like myself, stupidly) Into taking out a contract for 12 months that extends with no correspondence to confirm this other than a 'newsletter' with a sneakly hidden clause of contract. Now I will fight this to the bitter end. It's not so much the money which I can't really afford its the aggressive nature of the 'accounts team' that wouldn't give me 3 days to consult with trading standards or that would double the fee!!! DO NOT DEAL with this company in any way, shape or form. The replies from this company do now get close to the reality that is they are just glorified theives in it to line their own pockets!!!

Dear “Citroen 1998”

We’re sorry to learn that you’re unhappy and have made a posting regarding your order.

Our Automatic renewal clause is not “hidden” as you claimed, it is made clear and we do issue you reminders throughout your agreement.

We have an excellent relationship with Trading Standards and will be happy to discuss any complaint that you may have, either directly with you, or via Trading Standards, the best and most direct course is to make direct contact with us at [email protected] quoting your sales order number (check the subject line of the electronic agreement that we have sent you to locate this number) – we will then review the call recordings, the status of your electronic agreement and do our best to fully resolve your complaint for you.

I Am amazed this company still runs! There seems to be a massive breakdown in communication between the people at the top and their sales team, or this is a get rich quick scheme, with No customer service, until a complaint is logged. They bully and harras customers, and harangue them into thinking they have done something wrong. Why in this day and age are companies aloud to run like this and why have they not been properly investigated? I would not wish the experience on anyone!!
