    Angry OMG its happening again!!

    Hi I dont know if anyone remembers the problem I with strawberry education?? Well Ive just had a call from another company!

    http://www.childmindinghelp.co.uk/fo...ight=emmadines

    the call went - O - Hello is this miss Dines?
    me - Yes whos this??
    O - its ***** again to call about your invoice that we sent you two weeks ago. (I cant remember the company name.)
    me - an invoice? for what exsactly?????
    O - you agree to place an add in our publication two months ago.
    me - and how much is this so called add??
    O - £200 + vat
    me - Oh, well theres no way Im paying that as I havent agreed to anything to be advertised nor agreed to pay £200, i have been stung like this before by a company called strawberry ed ltd and Im not going to be stung again.
    O - well we have a recorded conversation, i will go over that and check then.
    me - well i havent agreed to anything, i have not contacted you nor initionally been contacted buy you. so i am not going to pay for this.
    O - i will check the recording and call you back in 5 mins.
    me - you can do that, I m not going to pay!
    O - we will see, I will call you back

    there is no way in hell that I am paying this, this time! on way!!!!! I did not call them they had not called me and I HAD NOT agreed to anything with them!

    I have called the ncma leagl advice and the they have told me to get their details and post a letter asking for every deatiled conversation with them and the pre recording of this so called agreement!!

    Do you think it could be some scam, somethig to do with the other company or an employee trying to pull a fast one?

    I would be furious (and worried to death!)

    Hope you get it sorted.

    My husband had this a couple of years ago.
    Can't remember the name of the company.
    They called him and said would he like to place an ad with them and he said he would think about it.
    For the next few weeks or so they called every day demanding payment. Until I took the call, they said
    'we have a recording of your husband agreeing to buy this ad.'
    I said '
    If you call again we will interpret this as harassment and will instruct our solicitor accordingly'
    Funnily enough we never heard from them again
