    Isn't that how Google works? You type in a term and are presented with a list of (relative?) links?

    Anyway, details of how to contact E-Credit Plus can be found at http://www.ecreditcatalogue.co.uk/customerservice.asp.

    Funny how they won't let you see their prices until after you've signed up. I guess they are pretty poor value.

    I would never buy anything from that dodgy looking website. Not very professional.

    £99.95? According to their T&Cs the application and enrolment fee is £79.95 (£65.95 enrollment fee and £14.00 application fee). If you cancel you should be able to get the enrolment fee back, but you lose the application fee: £14.

    Details at https://www.e-platinumplus.co.uk/UK-(%C2%A31000)%C2%A379.95-%C2%A37.95%20Terms%201-26-12.pdf.

    Then do as advised on numerous threads on this forum. Write to them recorded delivery demanding the money back. Add that if a full refund is not made, a complaint about them to the FSA and OFT will be made, resulting in a far bigger fee to them than refunding the money.
