I was a BNI member for 2 years. In September I paid £1678 to renew for a further 2 years and in October the BNI chapter decided due to being absent without having a sub in my place they terminated my membership with 23 months left to run. They are now refusing to refund saying once fees are paid they don't offer any kind of refund.
BNI is nothing more than a scam, shady business practices and should be avoided. Any reputable business with confidence in their product offers a refund policy especially when it is the company choosing not to deliver the product/service paid for!

Following the advice received via the BNI chat assistant, on Monday 25th July I wrote to Kathleen Walker, Director Consultant and National Franchise Support at BNI regarding a BNI member and Chapter Director who has caused damage to my property and ruined materials to the sum of £5200. I explained within my complaint that although the tradesperson had admitted full liability and culpability, he confirmed that his business, R M Facilities Management Ltd of Carnforth had nothing to offer me by way of compensation as he cited the business as "failing". I also explained within my letter to BNI that the MD of RM Facilities Management Ltd, Richard Moran, had left bare live wires exposed in my property, and also left a smoke detector covered with a plastic bag: all actions that Mr Moran has admitted to in writing. After confirming that Mr Moran had breached each of the 6 points on the BNI code of conduct, Ms Walker confirmed that despite sympathising with my situation, BNI would remain impartial. Mr Moran has since contacted me to suggest he will claim for my loss via his insurance Company and suggested I inflate my claim in order that he can secure a higher insurance pay out. When I reminded him that his request amounted to incitement of insurance fraud, he hung up. The telephone call was recorded. Why would BNI distance themselves from such an issue and allow a trade to remain in situ as a member and Chapter Director after such behaviour.
