Seamless and confidence insipiring

My onboarding experience was hosted by Grace Gallagher Chin. She guided me through the process seamlessly. I was left feeling confident and comfortable with the system. I am new to the platform but I'm excited for the possibilities it may create.

I rarely leave reviews like this

I rarely leave reviews like this, but I feel it is important to share my experience so that other businesses can make a properly informed decision.
I entered into an agreement with Seractech following a Zoom call. Within days of signing, I attempted to cancel due to serious changes in my business circumstances and the fact I was unable to proceed. The software was never accessed or used at any stage.
Despite this, the company continued to enforce a 12 month contract and take payments.
What is most concerning is that it was later acknowledged that the full sales call was not recorded. In other words, there is no complete record of how the agreement was presented from the outset. Even so, they have still chosen to rely on a partial recording and a signed contract to justify enforcing the full term, rather than addressing the situation fairly.
There has been no flexibility, no accountability, and no willingness to take responsibility for their own process failing.
Any business considering working with them should be extremely careful. Make sure everything is clearly documented from start to finish, make sure you fully understand what you are committing to, and do not assume that raising concerns early will lead to a reasonable outcome.
Also be aware that when concerns are raised, responses may be framed around technicalities and justifications rather than any genuine attempt to resolve matters properly. In my experience, this approach is used to deflect rather than address the core issue.
Based on how this has been handled, I would not recommend this company. I have now passed all information to my solicitor.
Proceed with caution.

Bad! All about taking payments

In my experience,This company promises ypu a effort free service, then during the zoom call demo asks you to log into “your account” which in doing so then triggers there licence with you to be active and enables them to claim there monthly fee, ( which you will be hounded for constantly)
It close to a racket as far as I’m concerned,
Avoid at all costs, it will save you a lot of stress and a lot of arguments about payments for a service that actually isn’t “ hassle free” at all.

Thanks for your feedback. You were fully onboarded to the platform in August (a self service tool), but we haven't seen you use it since that point. We've provided the data you're paying for every week since day one, and our Customer Success team made multiple attempts to reach you by phone and email to offer support, but couldn't book a refresher call with you until now.

We're glad you're back in touch, and we look forward to your refresher call today. We're confident we can help you generate value from the platform.

Rip-Off - Terms and Conditions

These guys are REAL Unscrupulous, unethical company I have ever come across. Sales person doesn't provide any exit terms and conditions when binding you in the contract. PLEASE READ Terms and Conditions very very carefully.

There is NO COOLING OFF PERIOD.
There is a DEFAULT auto-renewal.
On top A LATE Cancellation FEES of 2 MONTHS..!! So if you are paying £300 every month there is a £600 late cancellation fees..!! in addition to the month you just paid for let say 12 month contract you send across your notice in week #1 of 13th month so you have now paid for 13th month plus you will be paying to 14th and 15th month..!!!

Thanks for your feedback, firstly we can see that within 12 months you have sent out just 10 letters which of course had a significant impact on your return on investment.

Your T&Cs were visible when your account was activated and in your account for you to view at any stage.

Should you wish to discuss further we are always here to support on either 0203 808 6992 or support@seractech.co.uk

Misleading sales practices

Misleading sales practices.

I received a call from Josh White this morning implying they were a contractor with loads of opportunities across the Midlands and they needed partners to take over contracts that cant be fulfilled in April and May. I accepted a meeting on this basis.

After receiving the e-mail, I then realised they're some lead generation platform- NOT a contractor. VERY misleading to try to trick me into a meeting.

Needless to say, if you try to trick me into a meeting and lie from the offset, then I know this is not a good service.

I have raised my concerns directly with them- but remember, this is a small industry, we all talk. Tricking your way into meetings is going to end badly.

Their reply is nonsense and just sums them up perfectly. With all these reviews showing it's a total scam, it's clear you should stay away...

We’re sorry to hear this was your perception of the call. Our role is to connect construction companies with homeowners who are actively going through the planning process and looking to appoint a contractor.

The opportunity to secure projects for April or May is absolutely supported by our platform and the live planning data we provide. This is precisely why contractors use our service.

The purpose of the meeting proposed was simply to demonstrate the platform in more detail and explain how we help contractors win work. There was no intention to mislead or “trick” anyone into a meeting, and we’re confident the service was described truthfully.

If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out.

I registered with this company but…

I registered with this company but never used their service at any time. I never sent any letters, never accessed any data, and was never given access to the tools required to use the service.

The only payments taken from me were registration-related payments at sign-up. I did not sign a one-year contract, nor did I agree to ongoing charges. I became unemployed shortly after registering and did not proceed beyond the initial stage.

Despite this, I was later told that I owed money for a service I never used and never benefited from. When I asked for a copy of the contract I allegedly signed and evidence of service usage, this was not clearly provided.

The situation escalated to the point where the company issued a small claims court claim seeking payment, which I found extremely distressing given that no service was used and no signed long-term contract exists.

I was also made uncomfortable during a call when references were made to my LinkedIn profile and websites connected to my name, which I felt were irrelevant and inappropriate in a billing dispute. (This was said by the Head of Finance.

Based on my experience, I do not recommend this company. This experience has been very stressful, and I urge others to protect their mental health by carefully checking whether they can stop or cancel any agreement they sign before proceeding.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that this experience has been distressing.

To clarify for transparency: the account was self-activated by yourself during the activation process, at which point our terms and pricing were clearly presented and accepted. Serac Tech is a self-service platform, access to tools and data is provided once fully onboarded, but usage requires the user to log in and actively send letters in order to generate inbound responses.

Charges applied were in line with the agreed sign-up terms, not based on the volume of letters sent or data accessed. While we understand that personal circumstances can change, the agreement entered into at registration remained active unless cancelled in accordance with the stated terms.

Regarding requests for documentation, access details and contractual records were made available during correspondence.

We regret that this matter escalated and that it caused stress. We always encourage prospective users to review the terms carefully before activating an account and to contact us early if circumstances change.

If you would like to continue the conversation or resolve any outstanding concerns, we remain open to doing so via our support channels.

Misleading Practices and Continuous Pressure

Title: Misleading Practices and Continuous Pressure

I signed up for this system with the expectation of clear communication and transparency. However, my experience has been anything but that. The process felt rushed and unclear, and I was led to believe that only a small number of companies had access to this system, which now seems misleading.

I received ten letters regarding my planning application, suggesting that I would be the primary business to benefit from this service. Instead, it felt more like a sales tactic than genuine support. The lack of adequate backup service has rendered this experience a complete waste of time and money—essentially just another tech scam.

I strongly advise against subscribing to this service. It has been several weeks since I unsubscribed, yet they continue to hound me with constant communications.

Let’s be clear: when a company fails to deliver on its advertised products and support, it causes significant stress for users.

Thanks for your feedback. We have looked into your account and can see you've sent 243 letters in a year which is significantly lower than your total available. If you are not using the system the results will be severely impacted.

Serac Tech is a self-service tool where you are given all the tools required to send out automated letters. All of our terms were made clear before activating your account and unfortunately you gave notice to not renew your licence past the required date.

If you have any further questions please let the Customer Success team know on support@seractech.co.uk

I signed up for this system but everything was rushed and not transparent, They never explained how many subscribers were in each area and just took money from my account with no backup service at all, A complete waste of time and money, just another tech fraud system, I would strongly advise against this subscription, Its been one year since I unsubscribed and they are hounding me and causing me severe stress, threatening me to court, Lets me clear here when a company cannot supply a product that is advertised then they must compensate for any money paid to them.

Thanks for your feedback.

Unfortunately, we strongly disagree with your description of our service and can see that accurate data was provided to you each week, in line with the 12-month B2B agreement. We provided a thorough onboarding process and agreed targeting criteria based on your requested preferences, against our advised approach.

When your requested approach did not work, we gave you clear advice, adjusted your profile and added additional coverage to you at no extra cost, to help you to utilise the remainder of your licence. Unfortunately, you did not use the data on your profile following this, despite the contract remaining active until the end of the 12 month period.

We remain open to resolving matters constructively and would encourage you to contact us directly.

Terrible company

Terrible company , signed me up to a service that they did not deliver , promised personal weekly support and was a waste of time , after 3 months I had enough and canceled the service as they lied and miss sold it!
They keep taking money from my account without permission! Woman on the phone very obnoxious and horrible, I’m now going legal to recover money taken without permission and fraudulently! Stay away at all cost

We’re sorry to hear you feel disappointed, and we’d like to clarify a few important points for transparency. During the 6 months you’ve been with us so far, we were only able to send a small number of letters due to the postage limit you set on your account.

Our team was sending the letters on your behalf, which naturally reduced the need for frequent check-ins. At no point did you request additional assistance or support during this time.

Your licence was agreed for 12 months, and our team made repeated genuine efforts to assist during your call. Unfortunately, the conversation was cut short when you demanded cancellation and declined further explanation or support.

Any billing was in line with the agreed terms of your active licence.

We always aim to act professionally and transparently and would encourage you to contact us to discuss how to utilise the remaining time on your licence.

Didn't get a single job in from them. Every time I rang up to get help they didnt help at all, Just kept passing me round. After the first month when I didnt get a single job in I just cut my losses. 18 months later I get bailiffs at the door saying I owe them money! Do not go with these people. Absolute scum
