I'm gutted to rate this company one star! They've taken three £12.00 payments which were not authorised. I raised a complaint and they claimed to have issued refunds. One month later no refunds. I'm currently trying to resolve this matter as they continue to stall. Today I have three new pending £12.00 transactions! Total scammers. I now have to cancel my bank card. BEWARE!

Avoid

Avoid. Just like many other reviews, you sign up for the free listing, they charge a £1 to be refunded straight away, on the guise that it is to confirm your details and then after 7 days they charge £12 signing you up to their 'Prime Business Listing'. Plus your bank details are saved to your account with no way of removing them yourself. They have to do it. I have emailed them 3 times now and still nothing has been done about it. Should be ashamed of themselves. Will be reporting to Ofcom. Had no problems with other directories such as Yell.

Fraud - payments taken without consent

Signed up to a free business listing and payment was taken without any consent. Team would not delete account as requested. Do not trust.

zero stars 118 business directory

118 business directory. Offer FREE LISTINGS. Charge £12 from my bank account with no authority to do so. On a Sunday too, when it's most unlikely to check bank accounts - 'weekend'!!!

Just to make sure, I applied for another free listing today with 'dicky' name and phone number, only to be taken down the same path of... £1 to verify it's yourself. The promise of this going back into your bank account. It's the unauthorised £12 out of my bank account that is unacceptable. No mention whatsoever of a sign up!!!

Fraudsters. Take money for a free business listing

I asked for a free business listing. They wanted a £1 deposit for proof. Now they’ve taken £12 as well from my bank account I did not authorise.
I explained by phone.
DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY.
IT’S NOT A FREE LISTING

I have consistently found 118 to be an invaluable partner. Beyond providing excellent support with our company listing, they have gone above and beyond by assisting with malware issues and technical vulnerabilities I otherwise wouldn't have identified. A special thanks to Joshua, whose expertise and helpfulness have been outstanding throughout the process."

AVOID THIS COMPANY! IT USES SCAM PRACTICES

AVOID THIS COMPANY! IT USES SCAM PRACTICES
I posted a 'free listing' and was asked to pay £1 for verification, described as 'verifying you are human'. They promised to refund the £1, which they did. They sent me a few emails asking me to upgrade my account, which I did not. All the emails from them confirmed 'You are currently on the FREE BUSINESS LISTING plan.' However, yesterday I noticed they took £12 from my account without authorisation! They also keep my bank card details on their website with no option to remove them. I contacted my bank to report them. BEWARE, THIS COMPANY HAS BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES WHICH ARE ILLEGAL.
