These people will harass you over duties and fees that aren’t even eligible to be paid- I had an item delivered to me under warranty for free and over 6 months later
i’m being demanded to pay a £50 fee? Fedex confirmed no fee is due since it’s a warranty item… I’ve explained this control account and they continued to harass me… Don’t pay this company a penny.

If you contact me again I won’t hesitate to report you to the FCA and take you to small claims court over Harassment

I had a very positive experience

I had a very positive experience with Control Account. Setting up a payment plan was quick and straightforward, and the process was clearly explained. The customer service team were friendly, understanding, and professional, which made everything much less stressful. I felt supported throughout and would definitely recommend them.

Outstanding support and genuine care during a difficult time

My experience with Controlaccount’s support team was excellent. I was going through a very stressful situation, but their advisor was incredibly helpful, understanding, and patient throughout. They listened to my circumstances, offered practical solutions, and treated me with real empathy and respect. The communication was clear, prompt, and always professional. I truly appreciate how much effort they put into making a difficult process easier for me. Highly recommended for anyone needing support and fantastic service! 🙂

Easy and helpful to deal with

Received a notification from Controlaccount re a FedEx invoice. Was easy to submit a query and upload proof that the invoice had been paid. John at Controlaccount was very helpful and confirmed that the file had been closed and no further action was due.

The agent Nabee I spoke to was so helpful and patient. More helpful than the two companies that were meant to have dealt with the situation before it went to a collection agency. However really helpful and personable. An arrangement was set up so one less thing to worry about.

Keep pesting me for a payment

Keep pesting me for a payment, rang them up, they wanted my personal information even though i provided reference number. Refused to mention what payment is for, kept demanding my personal information threw out the call. When purchasing item on ebay no fees were mentioned prior to payment.
