Good Points: Nothing really

Bad Points: They have really upset me and my daughter, we paid loads of money but haven't heard anything back.

General comments: I went along to the hotel in Plymouth, they took a couple photos and asked a few questions then took my money and said you will now be put through to Regaredz Models so then we had to pay another 150 pound but after that i tried to ring them they said they didn't know who i was so i rang west 1 promotions and they said i must have the wrong number so they said they would get them to ring me back so i waited and nothing so i rang them back but never got an answer what can i do?

I have never heard a word from them and that was 2 years ago and hope that other people don't fall into the same trap as I did. I do not recommend West 1 Promotions.

I have just signed up with West 1 Promotions who made my daughter believe she had stardom waiting for her, I have one very devastated 15 yr old, poor thing...I would be very interested in how you got on with CAB etc as I fully intend to pursue this, I have already contacted the local newspaper and the Hotel. There was also an expose on the local news tonight (bit late for us unfortunately!).

I think it is our duty to make sure these people are stopped before anyone else's child is left heartb ...

Reading all these comments I feel unsure now I paid £189 for my daughter, was all flustered as well as was waiting in a stuffy hotel for 3 hours, asked was there any additional fees to pay was told no the agent will just take a commission from any of your child's earnings, got a call to say Hidden talent want my little girl on their books for another £149.50, from reading all this looks like the agency they forward your details to are the same people running West 1, checked out with ...

I too have been subject to West 1's Promotions promise of stardom for my 2 children, 1 and 12, I went along to a very popular hotel, after seeing the ad in my local paper. We were seen quite quickly, both my children had a polariod done, then a quick interview, which is when I was told that yes, they were both model material, so that in mind I would have to pay £189.00 for each child, for this they would receive a portfolio, and a guaranteed place with an agency within 3 months. I received ...

I also paid the money to West 1 Promotions, and everything that has happened to everyone else has happened to me also! I am totally in disgust at them playing with children's emotions. They fooled us hook line and sinker!! What made me believe them was it was advertised in my local paper, and auditions were held in a very popular hotel.

We had to fill in a West 1 Promotions form for our details (.e.g hair colour, eye colour, address etc). We then waited for at least 3 hours but we were the lucky ones, others waited a lot longer. When we finally got our interviews. We had a picture taken and were told that we could make it to being models. The woman who interviewed us was very uneasy and edgey when my mother asked her questions about the agency. She was also very pushy and used phrases like, you could change your daughters lif ...

After attending a casting where I was prompted to pay the good old £180 to join West 1 Promotions, I have just received a phone call asking if I'd like to join for £100 and get the same benefits as everyone else.

So there we have it!
Dont give them any money!

We saw the West 1 promotion for work in modelling, catwalk, catalogue work, and TV extra work etc. advertised in a local paper. We went along to be told that we would receive a free photo shoot and test shot. My daughter and I waited 2 hours to be interviewed by a talent agent. My daughter had a Polaroid photo taken against a normal wall, and was then told she had potential to be a top model. In return for this 1 minute advice, we were told that if I wanted to pursue this career for her we had t ...

The company currently trading as West 1 Promotions are currently travelling around the country, advertising in local newspapers and holding their 'Auditions' at well know hotels. The last one, so I am told was at the Swallow Hotel, Norwich on the weekend of 21st & 22nd January 2006.

When we went to our one in ****** we were railroaded in two a 2 minute photo shoot with our very, very excited teenage daughters (mostly teenagers and very young children all with doting parents), they then get yo ...
