    Refer to post 9...I'm sorry but you haven't a hope in hell of getting yr money back unless you have paid by Credit Card.......and even that may be difficult
  • Hi, hope someone can help me.

    I stupidly signed up with Cartel Client Review a few years ago for 3 main products @ £495 each and 3 credit cards @ £125 each.

    For two years I basically heard nothing from either CCR or CCLS, then out of the blue at the end of last year I received a cheque from CCLS for £500 from one of my Credit Card providers.

    They have since been chasing me for a £100 success fee, which I have yet to pay as I am still over £1000 out of pocket.

    Problem I now have is that they have sent me a letter threatening to take me to Salford County Court!

    What shall I do to a) avoid a CCJ b) get my £1000 back.

    Hope you can help.

    never avoid a CCJ, always defend against it otherwise you are admitting you owe the money.

    You need to defend it, not sure on what grounds but maybe that you have already paid out £1000 and they have not completed work on a your debts. If the contract states you must pay £100 for each success you could argue why did i pay £1000 up front, once cartal finish there service (although they won't due to news story) then you'll pay up.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies
  • As informed by a ex cartel master agent today a company called SMD Grassroots has Carl Wright behind it he is up to his old tricks but charging you more for it.

    Martin missed off Step 5 from this article - don't be such a !!!!ing mug, accept you've almost certainly lost the money, take responsibility for your debts, stop blaming other people and you might just learn something.
