Please don't use these guys

Please don't use these guys, customer service is awful.
I paid £190.00 for 2 contact leads for book-keeping jobs, to find out that the jobs had already been filled.
Even more alarming, one of the authors of the jobs was horrified to hear that their job and information were visible on servicestart's website - WITHOUT their approval.
After several emails, servicestart refunded me £54.00 representing one of these leads, looking forward to a cash refund to my bank account. This did not happen as the company only give you credit refunds and not cash.
As I am freelancer and money for these leads are expensive, credit refunds are useless. I was offered a legal department email address but they have not replied.

Reply from Servicestart UK

Philip Standing of PJS Bookkeeping Services, you have in fact received refunds for all your complaints which is 2 out of the 51 leads you have responded to since starting to use our platform more than 10 years ago.

When you joined, and any time after that, the Terms & Conditions have been made very clear and available to you regarding the refund system. It is clearly communicated that refunds are to your Servicestart credits and not to your bank account in your T&C.

In addition, when you have asked about this our support team has replied and explained again how it works in a timely manner. Yet you stated to us you would like to take legal action which we would welcome to let a third party decide if any of your rights have been violated. It seems now you understood the T&C and that you in fact have not been subject to any wrongdoing since you instead of letting a third party look at the case you post your review here.

Cosy Homes Property Maintenance…

Cosy Homes Property Maintenance performed a transformation of our bathroom. During the work, the team kept the mess to a minimum as we were still using the facilities. They turned up when they agreed to, the work was done to a high standard, was completed on time and I am totally satisfied with the result. I would recommend them without hesitation.

"Excellent and well assessed quotations"

"The quotations I received were both excellent and I could not have wanted for better. Their representatives were courteous, knowledgeable and very understanding of the task of reparing my mother's property from the extensive damages done by tree roots. I'm more than happy to employ either one."

Simply Unique Bathrooms have done an absolutely beautiful job for us and we are thrilled. They removed a dingy old bathroom and have replaced it with a beautifully designed sleek modern one. The attention to detail is perfect and they have done everything to a really high standard. Michael has been such a good project manager and looked after us brilliantly. He helped us with choosing fittings and gave expert advice. He kept us up to date with progress each day with pictures. The job was completed exactly on time and it has surpassed our expectations. We are so pleased.

Servicestart helpful with my request

I found Servicestart via Google search and sent a request. They sent me a few architect options and glad to say I ended up using one of them.

I would like to thanks Servicestart for all the help and support they have given me.

Thanks

Nothing to lose, everything to gain

Within a few minutes of posting my job, I had several approaches. These approaches carried on for a number of days and I was spoilt for choice in terms of who I invited round to my home to give a quote.
In the end I decided on three firms - two of which I would have happily hired on the spot.
I chose the compamy who, not only gave me the lowest price quote, but whom I liked. They also happened to based fairly near my home which appealed to me.
The company who I hired lived up to my expectations and even did a couple of extra things for me for free - which was maravellous!
I would not have found this company had it not been for servicestart.
So, I definitely recommend you use them - you have nothing to lose (there's no charge for leads) and everything to gain.

Great service.

The company got in touch as soon as my account was activated. They kept in constant contact and dealt with my tax return in a speedy fashion. I'm pleased I used this company.

For every £1 spent we have recieved £5 back

We have been working with Vish for over a year now. The leads purchased have delivered a 5x return. For every £1 spent we have recieved £5 back in new client fees.

Vish is consultative and takes the time to understand our business, and most importantly the type clients we seek.

As such Vish is able to deliver us high quality and relevant leads that have a good chance of closing.
