FREEPPICHECKS misleading sell

FREEPPICHECKS.CO.UK based in Swansea stated that they charged 30% INC. VAT, however the invoice I just received has 20% VAT on top of their charges and therefore the total %age they have got from me from the amount I received (after VAT for HMRC) was 38%.
Anyone else been misled by this company? :(

    Their website site 30% plus VAT. What does your contract say?

    Their website clearly states that VAT is in addition to their charges. Where did they "state" that their 30% fee included VAT?
