I think it would be specific to the business/product -

Sometimes I think that people over complicate the situation by trying to find a unique company name when really the brand of products and services are maybe more important.

*In Derby there was a situation with the ^David Loyd^ centre - (David Loyd is a big name in racket sports) he opened the company in his own name (mistake) later he sold the company so therefore sold his own name along with it... He later opened another sports centre imagine the problem he had naming that! lol..

**My Grandfather use to say, "If it wags it's tail and barks then it probably is a dog"

I think products and services names are more important - I saw you have asked this question on twitter a few times and I knew you were from this forum so I came here (guessing you probably had asked the question here too) to answer the question.

Just a quick note to let people know that this matter is now closed. (they agreed to cancel)
Thankyou to everyone posting.

I did not sign a direct debit mandate.

That's a useful link Garde thank you.

Bill - thanks for responding

Advertising in the local papers has for me always been the most successful - when placing adverts usually a months worth at a time the reps started to mention the 'find it' and how I would get a reduced rate of adverts if I was signed onto the find it.

So from there I agreed to have a listing placed on 'find it' the rep told me that someone from find it would contact me for more info regarding tags and search engine terms etc (this never happened) I sent to the rep a brief description and a photo/logo and the listing 'went live' - about 2-3 weeks later I remembered that the find should have been up and running and ran through numerous searches and could not find my listing.

5 minutes after phoning the 'find it team' my listing miraculously appeared.

I was still not happy when using certain search terms that I was not found, after talking to the rep he said that they have a list of terms for hypnotherapists and they had used that () he asked me to send in my list which has never caused any change. He did say something about (he used a specific word that I can't remember) the amount of changes that can be made to a listing or a certain amount of time that is spent with each client? I had insisted though that I had never actually been contacted by anyone. Someone did phone me regarding the listing but nothing changed.

So after giving it a reasonable amount ot have changed I phoned in to cancel the listing, at that point I could not speak as he was not in so the person I was talking to then asked me If i had received the agreement from the rep which I had not. The next day I got a letter through which basically is an invoice for the total amount of a years subscription at a rate of the X amount that we had spoken about...

There is also a 'Direct debit guarantee' which at the bottom says that I can cancel the direct debit at any time by contacting the back and must also contact them.
Am I OK to cancel the Direct Debit and contact them to say it has been cancel or will they then demand the full amount?
When the letter arrived as an Invoice that was the first point it was clear that the "It's only x amount per month" meant but you have to agree to 12 months. that was never made clear to me.

Sorry to have rambled on a bit -

Hi,
I recently was sold a premium slot on the 'find it' search engine.

I believe I was mis-sold the package.

The package was talked about being X amount per month but I was not told it would be a minimum 12 month agreement.

I have not signed any paperwork.

The amount is taken from my account on a monthly basis.

The package does not deliver what was promised, the search criteria for my business in the engine are virtually impossible - I had several discussions with the rep that sold me the package but nothing has changed "were very busy" seems to be the best explanation..

What rights do I have to cancel?

Good call -
I've also been getting a lot of Facebook cold calls recently..

Similar to the "We can put you on P1 google" kind of phonecall, not a Scam but equally annoying!

Unless you have plug holes all up and down your arms and you connect to the internet via a USB in the back of your head? then your already in 'The Matrix' (according to the boundaries of the film) > maybe your just not following the White Rabbit?

I take it your in the Agent Smith Camp then?


According to the film you already are plugged in..

The whole Matrix series is actually a fabulously eloquent metaphor for the mind and how it works..

*The goal of the film was to set peoples minds free not to hook them up, vis-

Everywhere you look out and about people are mostly just doing stuff on the mobile while out in public, so it's only logical to assume that already in any given household you get a queue forming to go onto the family PC (as it's usually the best one in the house, or has the fastest connection) so in time people all want there own 'connection' online through whatever hardware provides the best, so it seems inevitable it's going to go 'mobile'

It is like the matrix in that everyone is plugged into something or another at any given time, TV, PC IPOD or sleep seems to be the only default settings...

Whatever happened to conversations or thinking! Bah! Humbug...
