    Looking for legal advice

    Like I said, many (most) telco contracts are theft and ALL 7 year contracts are extortion with menaces. Give them 90 days notice and learn from the mistake. Continue with you fight against mis-selling. There's absolutely nothing special about the services you have. Get a new (honest) provider...

    Looking for legal advice

    Some (many)Telco contracts are theft, that's one reason we got involved. £1,000 is a lovely, big round number isn't it? I'd need to know a lot more about the contract and what kind of services you have before being able to say anything meaningful. As a starter, what does it say about...

    Virtual Landline Provider

    Yes, that's all very straightforward. The only problem might be your 020 7 number. The 7 range ran out over a decade ago. London numbers are now 020. The 4th digit for London 020 numbers is currently 3, so all new London numbers are 020 3. I think we can still source 020 7 numbers but there's...

    Sudden influx of trustpilot reviews

    You need an occasional bad review otherwise people don't believe them. Nothing fishier than only 5 out of 5s. People understand that there are plenty of wackos out there. I wouldn't pay TP if they paid me.

    Switching phone line

    If you want to keep your landline number you can port it to us for free. Once on our network we can do all sorts of things with it depending on what you need. By the sound of it all you want to do is divert any calls to the number to your mobile. If so I suggest taking a £5 per month business...

    Does this Sh** actually work?

    I don't know why this has only just occurred to me, but of course, it's AI generated bollocks. I was imagining some poor underpaid, jobbing writer having to produce that tortured, extended metaphor and hating himself for it but his clueless client loving it. "This email was almost certainly...

    Does this Sh** actually work?

    I can almost, but not quite believe that maybe some IQ challenged individual might respond to the kind of a message I just now received, but I can't imagine that kind of person being of any commercial value to the scammers. “Please contact me as soon as possible regarding funds currently...

    Going Self employed - Best Bank ? Best Accountancy Provider ? Best Card Payment processor?

    With an 'expected' turnover of £30k, you can't really afford anybody to do anything for you! What are the gross and net margins for this business?

    Living Person and Natural Sovereign Defence?

    It's 100%, copper-bottomed bullsh1t. This sort of cr@p is everywhere and those that want to believe it do. God help us.
