advertising my business

If you're in business then you should read what you sign. It's that simple. You only have yourselves to blame

Interesting post by a one-post newbie. Of course this newbie has nothing to do with the company in question. Oh no, not at all.

Perhaps the sales person should also read the contract he is trying to sell as well, so they don't end up telling a pack of porkies to the prospective customer???

Maybe Chriss1965 is simply a troll looking to get his rocks off by winding people up on an emotive subject. Everyone should just ignore such a post as they are actually after as many responses as possible.

I too have issues with this company
I signed for what I thought was a 24 month contract, for advert in local restaurants menu. I paid deposit on signing them my partner paid the remaining in full. I recently visited this resturant to find non of the menus but menus printed by a different company, I bought this to the attention to appy ppl for them to tell me the resturant where using the menus alongside each other and that they had ran out of the ones with my advert in. A week or so later when checking my bank account I realised appy ppl had taken £104 from my account without my permission so I called the bank they refunded the money then I called appy ppl to ask why, I was promised a call from someone which I didn't get so called again to be told the transaction was a mistake on their part. A week later I had a call from a rather rude lady from appy ppl asking where their money was so I explained I had paid for my add in full. The lady then informed me it was for a third year which I had not agreed to! So then she informs me that after the first 10 months it becomes a rolling contract and that as a business I need to take responsibility and pay up as appy ppl are not going to let this slide!

Were you sent a set of terms and conditions when signing up? What do those say?

Have you spoken to the restaurant where you were supposed to be advertised to see whether what the advertisers is saying is true? If they haven't provided what was agreed, it would help your case a lot if you had something from the restaurant in question saying they never had their menus or along those lines.

What does the contract say?

As a business, you have no consumer rights. You are assumed to have read and understood all the contracts that you sign. If you sign a contract without reading it and understanding it, then that's your problem, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The only recourse you may have it to threaten to counter-sue for breach of contract.
