Hi, yet another bad story for Vardis, like many people I had somebody call saying they were from the police and asking for support for Forresters Fund for Children, through a publication called ClassM8 - all seemed above board, but what a nightmare. They made a total mess of the advert, ignored all efforts to get it corrected and then went on to send numerous invoices for payment. I have refused to pay the invoice and kept a record of all written correspondance and fully expect to hear from their debt recovery people. For a small firm like mine, this is taking up an inordinate amount of time and it would have been far cheaper to simply pay the invoice and write it off to experience, than continue with the argument, put you get to a point where principles definately have got to come first - no matter how expensive it is.
I would strongly recommend anybody to avoid any financial arrangements with this company
Add mine to the complaint list as well - they are a complete nightmare for sole traders just setting up in business. I have now received a letter from Crown Debt Recovery demanding payment or they will take me to court. Has anyone actually been taken to court by these people?
I will add to the list of complaints, mine being exactly the same as everyone else. Called up offered a great deal, asked for further information, sent an invoice and then my cancellation requests are ignored.
I have now written to my local MP, Watchdog and I am currently checking to see if I can get something out into the national press.
What a nightmare for a small business operator that just does not have the time to deal with this nonsense!
We have had a letter from Crown Debt Recovery this morning stating that we owe £228.88 and that despite previous requests this amount is still outstanding. This is the first we've ever heard of this and, after asking around the office, have established that we have never had any contact with a company called Vardis. I decided to check them out on the internet to see what sort of business they are (as no one had a clue)and came across this site. Thank goodness I did, I have read all of the comments about the company on here and will not be sending them a penny. We have never advertised with them, never had any proofs through the post (like some others have) not even an e-mail. I don't know how they dare even send this letter. Unlike some of the others on here we haven't received any phonecalls or anything. I have never know anything so underhand in my life. I'm disgusted, if I hadn't had the sense to look it up on the internet then we might have ended up paying just to stop it going to court. Let them try to take us to court, we have never had anything from them.
My story about Vardis is my partner stupidly agreed to an advertisement last year gave them his credit card details, they sent him a magazine type thing, well to cut a long story short,they phoned him again in Oct/Nov 08 but he said no that with the current recession he couldnt afford another ad, however since them they have been hounding him by phone, now today he is getting messages from jbdr which are apparently a debt recovery company,up until now i wasnt that concerned about Vardis, i just thought we will ignore them, however now it has come to this. My partner never signed a contract with them, it was all done by phone, so how can they try and recovery money for something you havent agreed too. I would appreciate some advice on what to do next ?
Just to say I am having the same problems with Vardis that we all seem to have had. They phone they send you proofs I say NO they publish them and then they want paying. I am just going to keep telling them to get off. Just hope they take me to court especially as they have got my name wrong. Thanks for the comments its great to find out i'm not the only one.
Vardis have tried the same underhand tactics. I paid £28.95 after numerous default notice letters. Then i spoke to a legal friend of mine and she told me about this site. Advised me not to pay as a leagally binding contract was never signed. So i say to you all don't pay keep sending Vardis letters of complaint and annoy them as much as they annoy us. Regards RJP
We received a cold call on the 13th October 08 from a Mr Paul Jones asking if our company would like to support a local charity by advertising in their publication. We were told it was for children’s cancer research. We are very charitable people and at the time looking for ways to advertise as you do when you’re a new company trying to get your foot in the door.
We asked if it would be possible to have a front page/index link to our advert if we were to donate monies from each job receive from the publication to the charity in question, the link idea was accepted. We requested further details in writing before we proceeded.
The first correspondence in writing we received was Confirmation of your order!! No detail of the front page/index link and no mention of children’s cancer research. I called and Spoke with Mr Paul Jones who apologies and said details would be in the post, and confirmed that the money raised in this instant would be for children’s cancer research via The Foresters Fund For Children.
Within a week artwork was being sent to us with out us even realising an agreement had been made. On the 18th November 08 we sent an e-mail to cancel the so called agreement we had supposedly made.
More artwork received! At this point my partner now calls and speaks to Mr Andrews in respect of the cancellation. They said all correspondence had be lost during an error with there system and yet again apologised.
Understanding it was al cancelled we where then extremely surprised to have a magazine and invoice land on our door step 12th January 09, with artwork that was never agreed and poorly represents our company and for a laugh get this, a customer appraisal form.
From this point onwards we would call to find Mr Andrews was unavailable to take a call, in a meeting, or out the office. What a surprise!
So they play the ignorance game, how mature is that?
How ironic can you get a company that gets business through bullying the unexpected run an “Anti Bulling Campaign” well they will not be receiving a penny from us.
Pushy publishing company riding on the back of charities like The Foresters' Fund for Children and The Jigsaw Children's Support Foundation. Pushy advertisers that advertise you and do your artwork despite you not giving the go-ahead. Steer well clear and contact consumer direct, charities commission and bbc's watchdog. Plus your local MP
Hi all,great news,i got onto my national sunday paper,they have a jugde who tries to help people with problems,i emailed him about vardis and a few weeks later,result,vardis sent him a letter to say they as a good will jesture will drop any further relations with me,but as far as they were concerned everything they did was above board(rubbish).so if your local or national paper has this service i would recommend a wee letter to them,it worked for me,paintpot
I just can't believe it! John from the local Police Community Team has just this minute called me to try and sell me advertising space in their local community magazine promoting 'Anti Bullying'. I told him that it must be my lucky day as I'd also had acquaintances of his on the phone today trying to sell me advertising space on their charity wall planner. He couldn't get off the phone fast enough when I said that I thought it was best if we just left it there thank you. What got me about the call is that he was trying to sound 'policeman-ish' asking me if I was happy to support our 'local bobbies'. Surely something can be done to stop this sort of practice? For me to have the two examples mentioned in this blag thread in just the one day is extraordinary. Seems to me that both operations are still very much alive and thriving!
This company will not take you to court and their legal department is in fact the owner - Andrew Lownsbrough calling himself Crown Debt Recovery.
I have long since rid myself of these people and put the whole thing down to experience but I fully understand your worries as I have been there.
My advice is to report them to Trading Standards, to the Police and to the Charities Commission.
They have received hundreds of complaints about Vardis,I know because I have spoken to them all.
The advice I have been given is not to pay one single penny to them. To confirm cancellation in writing and to keep copies of all correspondence.
Put their telephone number in your mobile or home phone if you have caller ID and do not take their calls. Eventually ( in my case 2 years ) they will give up and move onto another sucker.
If they do get through to you just say that you do not want anything from them and hang up. They will get the message.....eventually!
Also sign up to the call preference service, if they keep calling you to advertise you can then report them, but you need to advise them that you are on the CPS before you can report them.
They operate within a grey area of the law and I have written to my MP to have the law amended to force these people to be licenced or regulated.
I would urge all who feel that they have been duped by this company or other companies using the same business model (there are lots of them, mostly in Merseyside) to write to their MP's asking the same.
The more pressure brought to bear on the decision makers the more chance we have of making a difference for the better.
I was only reflecting the other day,the sad thing is that my Vardis experience has made me look very differently towards charities :-(
It has made me ask who is profiting every time I see a charity advert on television. I don't mean stealing from a charity or profiteering but are charities just being set up to provide jobs for the boys rather than a genuine desire to do good?
Even the charities that I assume to be good like the NSPCC just as an example. How much actually goes into paying salaries and overheads and how much benefits the kids? It breaks my heart to see the kids faces on the television ads for the NSPCC but I immediately think of Vardis and the Forresters and the pity I feel just melt away.
And when money is sent to say Africa to help those poor children on the Action Aid ads. Who actually gets the money...the Politicians or the kids?
It really saddens me.
Just look at how many charities or societies there are out there. There is an association for just about everything you could ever imagine.
Maybe we need a society for the prevention of charity advertising companies :-)
Hi,
Been getting mail and calls from the above mentioned,after a few months of telling them i dont want there wallchart and not signing any thing ,i now this morning,got a letter looking for payment of £111.00 or if i dont pay ,they will forward my details to there so called legal department,has anyone else been in this position and what is the best course of action,im glad i saw this site to see that im not the only one who detests this company,thanks
I am a week off being married and have just spent all my savings on the big day.
I recieved a cold call from VARDIS in the beginning of August, I asked for some paper-work before signing up to anything, then recieved a phone call off Vardis a few minutes later to confirm the order to which i said 'errr... yes... ok...'
After recieving the confimation of order from them, I was quick to email and cancel the contract.
I recieved no further correspondence with them until this week I recieved a proof through in the post.
I have just sent another email to confirm my cancellation. I am now incredibly worried that they are going to take me to court and all that after reading this article.
Is there anywhere I can get some free professional advice?
They won't take you to court my Friend so don't be bullied.
You will receive threats of a court summons from Crown Debt Recovery, but they are just Vardis in disguise trying to intimidate you.
Just do not take their phone calls and answer every letter with a letter and keep copies of all correspondence.
The problem you face Nick is that you are now on a suckers list and you must stand firm otherwise you are doomed to constant intimidation by Vardis and their contemporaries.
Hold tight and get through the pain barrier and eventually you will be free of them and alot wiser.
Keep in touch especially when it gets you down and don't give in.
If you are really worried speak to Merseyside police, they know all about them and will put your mind at ease.
If you did not sign anything then you are not obliged to them.
Did you request the ad?
Did you sign off the artwork?
How many ads have you placed in a proper publication....I have always had to sign off artwork prior to publication.
hi my name is nick,
i have always had concerns about VARDIS, thought something was not right, but could not put my finger on it.
I paid for an ad on wall planner, £129.99 i got a copy oy the planner, it looked ok, thought i was doing my bit etc. but thought, what if these planners were not being sent out to the thousands of businesses like vardis told me, now last week they sent me another one starting date is 1st Sept end Aug 09, thought that was strange to have a year planner start in sept,
anyway i sent it back, but they want payment, i question i need to know, if i don,t pay can they send me a crown court thing!!!
Im worried about that!!
can anyone shed some light on the court bit!!
Thank you
Nick
It is difficult to have any sympathy for The Forresters Fund because of their association with Vardis.
Vardis cause untold misery for their victims in the name of The Forresters Fund and the Fund are quite happy to receive a small percentage of the rewards from that misery.
The FF website openly supports Vardis and indeed encourages victims to contact them and advertise in the publication which never gets distributed.
Direct quote below....
"To find out more about the Handbook and the benefits to you should you decide to advertise your business and support The Fund, click on the photograph of the booklet."
How do you justify that?
I do not therefore feel that you can just disassociate yourselves from the misery and the practices of Vardis by saying they are an "independant business" in the way you are trying to do.
You are complicit in their practices whether you choose to admit it or not by openly encouraging them and taking their money.
I have now seen people comments in relation to Vardis, i have been contacted for 2 days by a 0151 number but wasn't sure who it was i called it yesterday & the phone was put down i thought it was a customer maybe.
Today i received a call & the lady was talking & mentioned about doing some calendars with money raised going to the The Foresters' Fund for Children she said about some advertising & prices for one year, i thought it sounds good, so i said yes, she took my details & said no money was payable yet & they would write to me.
I asked for the website but mistakenly wrote the wrong letters down. But then after about 1 hr a lady from this company Vardis said, I'm just ringing to confirm your advertisement with us & the calls been recorded OK, i said yes no problem. When i asked the company name again she said Vardis so i wrote it down got straight to there website to have a look & i remember a long time ago i saw some stuff about companies ringing & using charities to get money. I put in on the search engine how good a company is Vardis? & ended up at Blagger.com.
So now i remember them i wish i never said yes it sounds good & OK. But with posts people have on this company don't look good.
Anyway thought i would let you all know they re still about!!.
Don't agree to anything over the phone it's hard i know to just put the phone down.
I am concerned about the comment of the last correspondent who implies that the Trustees of The Foresters Fund for Children are in some way seeking to personally gain from their stewardship of the Charity.
I invite the correspondent to state his/her evidence of any such practice (it is illegal for a Trustee to profit from their trustee status in a charitable organisation).
Such allegations are extremely damaging to the work the Trustees perform on behalf of the Fund and therefore cannot go unchallenged.
The Fund trustees are not directly involved in the work of Vardis, but the Fund (and therefore the claimants that make application for grants to the Fund) does benefit from the not inconsiderable money that Vardis raises on its' behalf. It simply is not feasible for the Trustees to fundraise to that extent.
The Fund has been able to support diverse applications from childrens' groups, hospices, hospitals, clubs, and other organisations working to the benefit and welfare of children throughout Britain, who otherwise would have little or no prospect of funding for their projects from other sources.
As far as the Foresters' relationship with Vardis is concerned, it should be noted that Vardis is an independent BUSINESS and therefore must operate as they see fit, within the law.
No Trustee of the fund is employed or receives fees either directly or indirectly, from Vardis. The Fund is the sole beneficiary.
Now, if the previous correspondent has evidence to the contrary, let them make it known now, or publish a retraction and apology to the Trustees of The Foresters Fund.
oh what a joy finding this company here,
we have been bombarderd with letters and horrible voice messages from this company threating to take us to court since march 2008,got a cold call asking bout advertisement my partener went ahead like you do when your a new company trying to get your foot in the door, after a couple of days decided he didnt want to go ahead and cancelled few days after that the book arrived with the picture in.....not long after a bill came along then phone calls as we assumed it was cancelled they were addemant it wasnt they had a recording to prove he agreed which the girl kept playing when my partener was speaking, funny they dont have any more recordings when cancelling, she also said the booklet thing with the piece of tack they call artwork was sent recorded delivery, this wasnt true as nobody is in during the day due to long hours we work and we live in flats,it had been shoved through the letter box to our flat door with all the other post, im quie sick of all the letters and abusive calls from stuck up rebacca from vardis, today my partener decided to get rid of these decieving people and to pay them i disagreed and said look u agreed but called to cancel u didnt sign anything so i decided to look them up and thank god i did, this company should be shut down i cant believe the foresters charity have anything to do with them, well mind you my partener called them tonight to brng it to there attention but the guy on the phone didnt sound really bothered so they will probably be all in on it as they get a cut.
well thats my rant for today and we definatley wont be folking out this outstanding bill just hope other peope look on there site and come accross blaggers.com
Hi, I stumbled on this site, and how glad am I. We are currently being inundated with phonecalls etc from vardis saying we took out advertisements with them and we owe them money. This has been going on since last year, and cant cope with it any more. As well as them we have had letters and phonecalls from Yellow Partnership, Core Media concepts and Parker Lewis Ltd. All of which are saying the same thing - that we took out the adverts and owe them money. They say a verbal contract is binding though as far as we are aware we didnt even do that. We have today been to the CAB and they have advised us to phone trading standards. I dont know how they get away with it. Its making us ill with worry.
I am absolutely made up i found this site today as i know now that i am not on my own. I too have had nothing but stress off this so called company, i too got harrassed by these people over a year ago where as i kept telling them that i was not interested eventualy, i said that i would probable go ahead with the advertisement, just to get them off from blocking the phone line, however being a busy company i expected there to be some form of contract and a look at the proofs before it went ahead, however this never happend, after a few weeks of not hearing from them they bombarded me and my collegues with calls, where as they were told again & again, that we just didnt want to go ahead, since then i have received invoice after invoice and wrote back time & time again stating that i did not want to go ahead so why do they keep invoicing me, however they have not replied any one of my letters, and i am now getting letters from Crown Debt Recovery stating there is a court summons to be issued against me in 7 days if i do not pay the charge of £346.63 plus £50.00 recovery charge, i also got phone calls from aggresive representatives from Vardis, stating i had entered a verbal contract and there was nothing i could do about it, this is totally disgusting, i was going to pay this today as i am pregnant i didnt realy need all the stress, however after seeing this website, they can get lost, as i am not going to be bullied into paying for something i have not agreed to. and i too will be contacting Trading Standards today, thanks for all your advise.
