Forget about it, they've tried nothing with me in the last four weeks. I did hear somebody say that when they paid this fee they were actually being co-etched into opening a new contract which led to further dispute

hi, I have had a similar call today saying I now owe £8000, funny that it went from that down to £4000 but only if I paid there and then, I didn't pay them anything. Will be seeking legal advice but am happy to be included in anyone's case if it means we all get the outcome we want! I for one will be ignoring any effort they make to contact me and request all of the recordings of our calls etc. I've had no leads in since joining so will be using that against them. Would be interested to hear if they have tried to contact anyone or if anyone has had a court summons! I doubt they will do it!

Hi Gasfun,
I have just been conned by this company too, I just wondered how you got on at the Citizens Advice Bureau, were they able to help?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Vicky,
I contacted them through the watchdog website last night. I am hoping they will do something!

I'm with you on this. I was conned yesterday and managed to negotiate from £5000 to £1500 to renew the contract, which I didn't want to renew, but the original sales order which I esigned states you cannot cancel your order if you have electronically signed. I was told that if I didn't pay I would be taken to court, bully tactics no doubt! I have contacted Watchdog, so if enough people contact them, they may look into it, a bit of a long shot though. I would be interested in any feedback from your legal advice. Thanks.

You can do a company check on them.

Complaints about unfair trading terms should be made to the Office Of Fair Trading.

As far as I understand it, bailiffs can only be authorised by a county court judgement. e.g. normally used by national/local government authorities for non-payment of VAT, council tax, parking fines etc. Private debt collectors are not bailiffs and do not have their powers.

Clarity on Agreements
Our standard agreement does contain an Automatic Renewal provision and this is made clear in the standard agreement that all customers are required to sign prior to their order being made live.
At the renewal point, we would write to you to invite your renewal. You would have a standard 21 days to withdraw your consent to the extension or the renewal of the agreement and if you did not do so, you would be billed for a further 12 months as per the signed terms.
There are of a lot of inaccuracies and libellous claims in postings on this forum about the process and the prices charged.
If you are a genuine customer, and have any queries, or require assistance, please contact us directly and a member of the Operations team will be happy to help you.
They can be reached at operations dot manager at ufindalocal dot com or by calling us on 01277 699722.
Yours faithfully

just because you have signed an agreement, electronically or otherwise, that does not mean the ''contract'' you have signed is enforceable.
Why so many people get caught into this so called Bailiffs threats, beats me??? A bailiff will only attend and remove property if a court has found against you.
From what has been said on here so far, I doubt the company will win any court case. I guarantee you they will not even bother to attend court even if they are the ones who initiated the court proceedings.
If you are confident enough, my advise is: DO NOT PAY.

i would like to point out that any company selling any contract also has prove that the contract has worth(contractual value) in a courtroom .
If enough people can prove that the contract has no worth/ contractual value then this could be shown in a courtroom that contracts were sold under false preferences as the creditor knew them to have no worth/contractual value.
if any people on this thread have issues with any company then you need to get together don't moan about it club your resources and evidence together and do something about it the longer you leave it unresolved the worse your problems will get .
my comment is not libelous.
