I am currently in dispute with this company who have accessed my credit card account and charged me £138 for a "free service". They deal in general communications services, web-sites etc. If you are a customer, then check your accounts, if you are thinking of being one -contact me first. I will post full details if required.

Hi Steve,

They must have kept my card details on record when I dealt with them in July last year. However, to cut a long story short, I managed to get my money refunded today - with no apology. There is disconcerting stuff about them on the internet and they have not filed company accounts for 2years. So beware if you have dealings with them or talk to me first. I still feel that I am going to be bitten on the bum by this outfit.

Regards

Hi pete,

This company used to do our telephone system and approx 1 year ago we got to work to find out we no longer had a phone line, to cut a very long story short they had gone into administration, the whole point to this is we now have a company called shire leasing on our case who have been threatening to take us to court over the equiptment as it belongs to them. We have told them to come and collect it as we cant use it now and they said we will still have to pay just under £5000 in oustanding payments inc interest so we said no chance take us to court, after six months of phone calls (them calling us) we still have not been to court and we now have a figure of £1800 this is still on going and they call us about once a week saying they will take us to court if we dont pay anyone else got this problem with these companys alsonif anyone gets any company come in and offer to cut your phone bills by half tell them to go away we know pay alot more for our calls and internet with bt but know that we are not going to have any problems like this.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for that and sorry to hear that you have got problems with these people although mine pale in comparison compared to yours.

My dealings were buying an 0800 number for life with no call forwarding charges. This number is tagged to my mobile phone so when I leave the house my home number is transfered to my 0800 number which means I save about £20 pm in call forwarding charges. Had this for 7 months so it has paid for itself but....this 0800 number is now in Yellow Pages. If this company goes under then I fear that my prospective customers would be greated by an unobtainable tone. Not good for business.

When I got my money re-credited to my card, I dealt with a very agressive MD. Not the sort of person to cross swords with. Each morning I expect to see the carcass of a horse's head on my door-step!

Had dealings with another Company called XLN Telecom a couple of years ago promising cheap calls. Resulted in Telephone Bills being doubled. Presented my case to Otelo and got my money back and they got a rap on the knuckles.

Prior to that, had dealings with Unicom based in Sheffield. Same thing. They were very aggressive and inundated me with nuisance calls. For a week I got about 40 nuisance and silent calls a DAY. I got calls saying that they know where I live and will be coming to have a "look around". They even left messages on their customers answer-phones puporting to be me and to ring my company ASAP. Got dozens of calls from bewildered people who did not know what was going on. Again, went to Otelo and got compensation. Various staff members of Unicom were sacked.

So the moral of the story is......BE CAREFUL! I am back with BT and very happy with my contract.

Regards

Pete M

We're back with BT after Unicom too.

They charged us for an unwanted bold phone book entry for 3 years.

Our phone bills have increased, but glad to be rid of that lot....

There are more than one communications co. trading under the name "Global". The one Carl is
refering to was "Global Telecoms and Technology LTD" based in Bury.LIke Carl we lost are phone lines because "Gamma Telecoms" were the line providers to Global. And Carl,why did you not join( as we did) to Global action group called
"Give Me My Money Back" set up by Barry Taylor
of Loans By Angels who was also a GLobal Customer
who has got about 135 ripped off customers together and using a group of Solicitors to take
SHIRE,ING & SIEMANS to the high courts to claim back all leases paid to date and have them nulified and keep all the equipment. Back to the name Global,there is also another one in Watford who Peter may be refering to.Perhaps more info about the one Peter is talking about may help know who to steer clear of. By the way Carl Global started up again within 2 weeks under the name of "Universal Netoworks Maintenance LTD" within a week of Global losing our lines

The one I am referring to has its Head Office in Folkestone, Kent with a subsiduary in Chelmsford. Companies house records show a few of these with very similar names.

Unicom. I crossed swords with these people without ever becoming a customer. They telephoned me 2 - 3 times a week over a perod of about 6 months trying to get my custom. The final straw was another call when working under a car struggling with a difficult job. Feeling rather peeved I agreed to meet a salesman. He pitched up a few days later and I told him (nicely) to go away and portray to his masters not to bother me again as they do not seem to get the message over the phone. Thats when it all kicked off.....

Another Company that is becoming a pain wants to test all my plugs at £99 for 25 (or was it the other way round). I only have three. Every week without fail I get a phone call. NATS testing I think. Think I will have to make a booking......
