To all singles out there if you would like to heed my experience and save yourself time, money and unecessary frustration then read on.

PARSHIP is by far the worst dating site I have ever used.

I have been a member for over 7 months and in that time have not had one single date!

I am an attractive, slim, professional woman with a happy optimistic outlook on life with a usy social life but you would nver know that from the miserable response i have had on this site!!

The problem lies directly in the fact that everybody's photos are hidden by an out-of-focus shot. The idea being from the site that you will be attracted by someone's profile matching rating and not their appearance.

Every time I log on I see blurred profile photos and must guess if I will actually fancy the man behind the profile.

This makes for very slow progress.
The site make it very difficult to cancel membership as they use automatic renewal. I was caught out by this so hence the reason they have taken my money for another six months. I have now rectified this and my membership is now cancelled after this present period.

Although men have written to me, once I have released my photo individually one by one , (so slow and labourious) as soon as I have sent my mobile number not one has made the effort to phone me.

Are these profiles fabricated by the dating site? Do they send fake messages to dating hopefuls with false photos and profiles, just to keep people hanging on?

Please be wary of this site and try more established sites to find happiness.

Parship is without doubt the worst site i have ever had the misfortune to stumble across.I am sure that we all want to meet decent and compatible people and thats why we are leade into joining. However, as all has been said before, the site is difficult to navigate and seemingly impossible to leave.
Iam now married to someone i met in a local pub! However, no matter how i try parship are still taking money from me. I have sent numerous emails to cancel, but always there is no resolution.

Do not use PARSHIP. This site is a total scam. I specified a geographic region in my criteria and I have continued to replies from 'fraudsters' well outside the criteria whose written English is appalling. Evidently these people are not the UK nationals they claim to be. One person even suggested that there was a time difference between Sotland and Ireland. One 'hit' came through with an invitation to chat and when I asked where he was located, within 1 minute I got an extensive reply giving ...

Parship " Do Not Use This Organisation - is my advice.

I came to this site as a result of an advert in The Independent - a paper I thought had standards. But having used Parship for less than a month I am appalled by its poor web site design, and the 'service' it offers. From my experience, when you are able to make contact, these contacts reply with bland and/or stupid messages, often expressed with a very curious use of English. If you continue and reply and ask questions about their job/pro ...

I found parship to be a complete waste of time and money. Trying to cancel membership is a joke!!! I provided them with information to cancel, all i received in return was automated replies to provide my details which i keep on doing again and again.
Customer service are no help at all, they keep asking for the same imformation.

My advice to anyone is don`t bother with Parship!!!

Parship is a difficult site to navigate, and does not let you automatically see your intended 'date', which strikes me as monumentally counter-intuitive.
Also, you cannot find people near you - just people in a geographical 'region', which may be hundreds of miles across (eg: the South-West, or Scotland..!).
Their billing system means that you may end up paying far more than you intended, and their 'customer support' is a joke.
Parship is a site to be avoided.

I'm deeply troubled by the ethics of this site. I registered as a free member months ago and heard nothing until suddenly, suspiciously, 2 'smiles' in a few days. When I responded to them I suddenly found, without warning, that I had to subscribe (at a whopping £40 a month - 2 or 3 times the going rate)in order to see their responses. When I paid up and eventually accessed the replies they were so bland as to make me strongly suspect that it was a set up to entice me into taking out a su ...

As has already been expressed, very eloquently by other ex-members of Parship, I find their policy of automatic renewal, hideous, plus it generates so much bad feeling that it has to be one of the worst things they can do from a P.R. point of view. I did however, like the fact that people's images weren't revealed automatically - puts more emphasis on personality.

Customer service appalling on this site, directions far from clear, sharp practice prevalent,

When you first pay Parship for a membership there is no indication or warning that they will take the next month's membership automatically and the month after that and the month after that ..
I was sure I had pressed the non automatic renewal button and it took 2 other members who I was at the time communicating with to tell me that I had to cancel my membership by writing . Otherwise money would au ...

I have found Parship to be a total waste of money. There were almost no members in my area and I am 100% certain, having traced their IP addresses, that, as a minimum if not more, of the last three people to contact me were all from Ghana pretending to be someone totally different. Two of them had the same IP address. I have e-mailed Parship on several occaisions, the latest to report these fraudulent members, and have yet to get the courtesy of a reply. Go for a freebie like Plenty of Fish that ...

I am quite a reasonable person when it comes to dealing with businesses. I like to take responsibility when I have made mistakes and accept any charges (there is no point being unfair). However, Parship appears to rely on people neglecting their accounts and automatically renew subscriptions without any warning. They do not have any option on their website to disable automatic renewal so you have to be very careful.

The design of the site is a bit odd, and most of the users are not premium, m ...

Appalling, i've spoken to about 3 people on it in months of being on there. Its very hard to see the latest users so you usually end up finding people who haven't logged on for months. The inability to see photos without some hugely long winded process is a massive hindrance too as to be quite frank; we can be quite visual creatures!!

The longest conversation i've ever had with someone on there was what a ghost town that place was (she lived half way across the country and the site recommended ...

I joined Parship a year ago for one month only but have just found out that they have been debiting my credit card for a year - consequently I have lost a lot of money. They have been extremely arrogant and scathing in their email replies to me and cannot be contacted by phone.

Appalling service
Parship are still taking money out of my account even though I have not been able to activate it for 4 months. In total I've spent over £100 on a service I could only use for 3 months. Awful.

Has anyone managed to track down a phone no?!!! I need to cancel the subscription!

I paid a premium membership of 179 Euro to parship. after being invited to make contact with certain "matches" from Germany and The UK. When I tried to contact the UK profiles, I realised that I had to pay again on the co.uk side. In other words: They show you all their profiles on either portal, but when you pay on one side, you can only contact on that side. To contact the other prospective recommended matches, you have to reregister and pay again. If you send messages or release photos, peopl ...

www.parship.co.uk is a shockingly bad website which seems to be forever crashing.

If you do persist in creating a profile, you are then unable to view the pictures of potential matches (unless ofcourse you pay to become a member)

They`re more interested in taking your money than offering a quality service.

And finally, good luck in finding the delete profile...they may aswell of had it as white text against a white background. You have been warned!!

not a good service at all, there appears to be very little activity on this site unlike others, although it looks good on the face of it. There is an automatic renewal system and you must cancel in order to make sure that you are nto re-charged. Problems with this as even follwowing the process, for cancellation I find it very difficult to get my money back, there appears to be very little response to emails also.

Parship has abysmal customer support,
- no way of talking to a human,
- very few matches,
- lots of emails in various languages,
- sometimes the website was in german or contained german words
- what I consider a 'setup' contact that encouraged me to renew my membership,
- and the final insult, they have charged my credit card without authorization.


How I wish I had found this website before signing up with Parship. They are the pits. I agree with everything negative that has been said abo ...

Since the day i paid my money to Parship i have never been able to get onto the site. I have asked for my details to be deleated as my months subscription has passed even though i have paid £35. They haven't refunded my money and insist that there is no problem. They sent emails telling me what to do ( my son works in I.T. and he has not been able to onto the site) and no matter what password we put in that they send me, still i can't get onto the site.
