ethel.b's review of Confederation of Business and Traders

“A GOOD AFFORDABLE ASSOCIATION”

★★★★★

written by ethel.b on 25/09/2014

I’m a happy member of the CBT.

I joined as I needed a good affordable organisation with use of an association logo for help, advice and to promote my family run business. I can always discuss any problem that might be a worry and they have the lowest membership fee gong of £49.90 a year.


I can cancel at anytime with just 30 days notice so I would be very interested if anyone knows of a better organisation that gives all the benefits such as a free website, hosting, web reports and business directory listings for the low cost of £49.90 a year or less.


I haven’t found one yet so I’m going to stick with the CBT and I give them a 5 star rating.

Lucky you. I and many other members disagree with you. We fell to the trap of Confederation of Businesses and trades. We are offered free membership or discounted membership. Later our membership renewed without our notice for an extortion of £220.00. Each one of us has a different story to tell. In my case, I swear when I joined, the membership was under £50.00, I got a discounted membership at £10.00 + VAT. But when I got membership papers, I saw the invoice, stating membership discounted from £220.00, which meant I would have to pay £220.00 for the renewal for the following year. Frankly I didn't mind because I thought they would generate a worthwhile business and expected a return of at least 5 times of £220.00. This was based on their inflated claims and images. But guess what? I didn't get one business enquiry from their website. Because of that I forgot about them. Later unexpectedly I got a final reminder from them asking for an extortion of £220.00 for nothing, that is right for nothing. I will soon see them in court. It is my duty to put them out of business. They are a threat on small businesses.

Hi,
My review is based on my own personal experience, I have no complaints against the CBT at all and furthermore the CBT are currently getting one of my bad customers pay an invoice that I've been unsuccessfully chasing for months.

I stand by the 5 star rating that I gave them because l feel they deserve it.

It would seem that you are in the middle of some kind of dispute and all I can say is good luck to you.
