******** Attention

******** Attention, it seems like most of these reviews are either left by the company themselves or made up****

Please do not use this company, they have taken my money and deposit, sale representative miss sold the service to me, advert is yet to be published it has been over 3 months, I have requested my refund only for them to hide behind the TC’s.

I am now taking them to trading standards. Do your own research on this company before you sign up. I will carry on making people aware of this company for who they are.

I have asked for many manager calls which has never materialised and still waiting.

Good communication from the team

Good communication from the team, however I didn’t really see a positive impact from the advertisement. They were good to extend my advert when the display was out of order for 12 days.
Customer service was good, however a little pushy about leaving a review which has knocked a star off.

AVOID !!!! SCAMMERS !!!!
Instead of working on Trustpilot and how to keep removing people reviews, improve your disgusting company and service .
AVOID !!! DO NOT USE THEM
…..
I’ve provided more information to Trustpilot and I do not wish to carryon with this conversation with you any more ! Do not disturb me if you want to find a solution for your clients , you have to read all the bad reviews that people left for you .
You are disgrace !!!!!!

PLEASE READ PEOPLE REVIEW BEFORE YOU SIGN with this Absolute scam company !!!!!
Rude customer service , very unpleasant experience.
Report them to the authority !!!!
SHAME ON YOU!!!

FYI : Unfortunately , I have a contract with you , waiting to see where the contract will be breached from your side to take you down ! If you are taking the reviews seriously , leave your MD or CEO contact number for people to speak with instead of your unpleasant customer service staff !!!!! what is your name ?

FYI :I am not wiling to share my contact number in a public site , if you could introduce yourself with your name and leave me your direct number , i will then could contact you to discuss further if you wish . I do not want to name your unprofessional and unpleasant customer service people here , but if you are from the main managers , you need to let me know with your name and only your direct number or email . I refuse to speak with the woman that her name is Poo... another one Ke... and so on !
VERY VERY RUDE PEOPLE .....
Further more.... If you spend a bit of time to read people disappointing reviews in here you will probably need to spend most of your life to go through investigation... no company will survive with the disaster service and customer service like yours ....

Ian Stirland and Pooja Nadgauda,SHAME ON YOU , your name is everywhere!!!

KEEP CLEAR of this Company!

KEEP CLEAR of this Company!! As many other people have said this Company is a disgrace and you should keep clear of them. The contract is clearly unfair and they make no correspondence to tell you they are rolling it over for a third year. Having had no leads whatsoever from their adverts, there is no way i would have allowed the contract to roll over had i known they intended to do this. they then try bully boy tactics to try and scare you into paying. Vijoy their "customer relation manager" is nothing but a cheat and a scoundrel. Just look at the other recent reviews - you know I'm right!!

Dear Simon Hall, I have looked carefully into your account and can see that we have provided sufficient evidence regarding your issue raised. The rolling aspect of the contract is on the first page of the contract and is also mentioned in the terms and conditions. I have read the correspondence that has been sent to you and I will confirm that this is factual, polite and at no point does it reflect bully boy tactics, nor is he a cheat or scoundrel as you have inferred. I can see that we have provided you sufficient evidence, including sending your contract for your perusal, we have closed down your complaint and moved your account on appropriately. I also need to reiterate we cannot guarantee an increase in leads, this is the nature of advertising.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
Like a lot of people, I have had a poor experience with Multimedia International Services/Direct Digital.
I was originally offer an acceptable price to have an advert placed in two locations. This price doubled after waiting for 3 months to actually approve the advert.
The system that the advert was running on was temperamental to say the least.....
I had to close my business in Jan 2023, and explained this to the company. They wanted to take payments until OCT 2023 to cover the years contract, which I have paid.
Yesterday I received a letter, that my account had been transferred to Commercial Debt Recovery agent, as I had outstanding payment for the last 2 years - This is the only communication I have received in the last year.......

Hello Diane, thank you for the additional information. I have briefly looked into this account and can see the information provided does not match what we hold on our database, so although we have been attempting to contact you, which we have evidence of, we did not have up to date information. I will however look into this one further. Please note I will not respond via Trustpilot but will respond on the email address you have provided.
