I had a call from motortrades in march 2012, the guy on the phone was called Joe he seemed very friendly and offered what seemed to be a good deal on advertising on the net. As i had just started the business at the beginning of febuary i thought this would be a good way to get some work through the door (wether or not it has is debatable, just seem to get people selling PPI), i signed up at a cost of £307.50.
In july 2012 joe rang again very friendly offered me the rest of the surounding area for a cost of £295.20 again seemed a reasonable price (still not sure if it was bringing any extra work in) so i signed up, then in july joe rang again offering catagory sponsorship £1620, sold it to me well as not quite sure what it is but i signed up. There was a bit of confusion with this one, i didnt return the direct debit mandate so received a call from someone called paul rang, we came to a agreement and i paid £1107 on top of the £225 initial balance, saved £288 and received a free blackberry (doesnt work).
On 03/01/2013 i received a call form someone (cant remember there name was in absolute shock at whats to come) informing me that i hadnt opted out of there auto renewal scheme and demanding payment of around £15000 but disconted to £9000, when i said i didnt want the service was told this wasnt an option and payment had to be made there & then, if i didnt the balifs would be sent or i could loose my home, i paid this feeling i was being bullied, sick and under pressure.
Having just had this shock around 20 mins later i had another call this time the same arrogant i dont care about your situation attitude, i was told i had another £17000 or so to pay, this was discounted to £10760 and again fearing for my home e.t.c. i paid clearing my business of all funds.
I rang later in the day to find out what these charges were for and was told just to be happy with them or the discounts would be removed, then basically bribed into sending a email saying i was happy with that.
On 03/01/13 there was 83 days to the end of the first contract.
On 07/01/13 i received another call this time in the same manner telling me i owed £30000 but this could be discounted to £15000 then £7000, this time i refused payment, then received verbal abuse on how i thought i was the big man from up north & my house was at risk the balifs would be sent e.t.c.
After paying £20760 i dont know where they think i can find anymore money, i may have to close the business.

  • Scott, did you resolve this ? Can you let me know how you got on or are getting on ? [email protected]. If it is Motortraders Insight Limited or Motortrades Central Services, its a company run by the same sharks who are trying to rip off hundreds of others for internet advertising on Ufindalocal.com.

    General consensus is that they won't follow up as they don't want bayliffs, police, courts or any other government type department involved.

    I've contacted Action Fraud, Watchdog and am trying to get hold of the Trading Standards people.

    Hopefully hear from you soon

  • Hello everyone,
    I used to work for this company and sadly the ethics behind this company are very poor!

    The companies to avoid that are all run by this 'group' are;

    Motortrades
    Ufindalocal
    Traderesourcer - they think this is there baby!
    Escortresoucer
    There even thinking about bringing out ones for solicitors, accounts etc

    The operations manager is Fred Rudgley (think that's spelt right).

    The have two offices so watch out for phone calls from Brentwood and colchester area codes!

    From my knowledge of how this company operates I have informed trading standards in regards to a few issues that certainly shouldn't be happening!

    Also a couple of organisations/institutions are in contact with me - but at this stage I have been ask not to divulge details.

    If anyone wants any further information I shall try my best to answer any questions you have!

    Best regards
    Mole
