Good Points

None! Advertised with yell.com since 2004 - NO Business!


Bad Points

Expensive for me but I feel it has been a complete waste of money for me. Pressurised into having visit from salesperson when I said I did NOT wish to renew. I feel the salesperson coerced me into spending more. Morally reprehensible.


General Comments

Advertised with Yell.com since 2004 - simple listing as I am a sole trader. Only had 2 business enquiries, both not worth my time I feel. All other enquiries were from other businesses trying to sell me web design, mobile phones, copiers and transport solutions. Then there were all the phishing emails from overseas people. It seems I had been paying for these others to contact me, I was unaware that Yell.com sell their lists. So they win whatever happens. When it came to renewing in 2007, I said 'No', but the girl implied the lack of business was down to my wording and insisted on sending someone to visit me. As I work from home, this salesperson came into my livingroom and talked me into spending money I knew I didnt have. Given that my circumstances were so bad and I was very fragile, on the edge of a nervous breakdown, none of this should have happened I feel. Yes I signed the contract, but vulnerable people do not read through paperwork or read all their mail. I am now facing court action - despite having paid Yell huge sums of money when I feel I have received no service back. That salesman got his commission. There seems to be no redress, therefore I do not recommend Yell.com
