Investigator Evoque reported INTERNET MEDIA EXPERTS with the number 02034220756 as Aggressive advertising
Be ware of Company ‘’ Internet Media Experts’’ is claiming that they have made a contract with NHS trust for promotions of local services by advertising them through NHS intranet. I also fell prey to this company and never received any customer from them. Despite my repeated request to them for cancellation of contract the never cancelled and kept on deducting the money off my account. On one pretext or the other, they kept my contract running now at their own they renewed for another two years further, now asking another £1970.
I took the case to Courts for refund of payments which I made. Please email me if you are unsatisfied with them so that I can show in the courts you may also get refund.Nursery replied 7/28/15, 12:52 PMI have had the exact same problem with this company.

Your contracts are worded well to exploit people and your tactics are designed to have people sign the contracts without presenting the enormous amount of small print that ties them in. If you operated with morals and were providing a worthy product, this small print would be presented by the shark reps and not hidden away on the premise that they have to be folded a certain way due to being carbonated - what a pile of crap
Ajay replied 8/28/15, 3:00 PMHi Please can you let me know how I can contact you, I have also fallen in the prey of this company and need help with being harassed to pay for another two years of advertising from which I have received no work.Joe replied 8/31/15, 3:09 PMHi Ajay
I am currently looking into the contract. I take it like me you didn't send your cancellation agreement in?Ajay replied 8/31/15, 3:55 PMHi Joe, No I didn't send the cancellation through in time.
Ged replied 8/31/15, 4:12 PMHi
Check the other comments on this page. The company is a different company they were called Internet Media Experts Ltd and they went into liquidation on the 4th July last year . The new company who are chasing for a payment are Internet Media experts (uk) ltd. A totally different company. They will give you rubbish like the contract was legally transferred. Yes it was by a Novation agreement which requires all parties to the contract to sign. Check it outaimee replied 9/2/15, 1:02 PMI haver just received my letter/invoice for payment of the second year. yet i cancelled in writing and by phone. and now no-one will take my calls!!!!
i have over 10 e-mails from them when we signed up about how unhappy we are with the service. Am io better off going straight to trading standards or looking into a solicitor via business insurance?Ged replied 9/2/15, 1:15 PMAimme
Once you tell them that there is legally no contract and tell them why your not paying they go away. The Trading Standards also say the company was liquidated and there is not a legal contract.Ime (try global next!) replied 10/21/15, 6:45 PMAnother piece of information that will help. I have a copy of a document which shows that Internet Media Experts changed their registered office from Poultry, London to Blades Enterprise Centre in Sheffield on 29th July 2014. The document states that IME will only accept notices served at their previous address for 14 days from that date. They didn't inform their clients of this move and didn't update the details on their website. Basically it was not possible for clients to give notice to cancel their contracts after 12th August 2014. One can only speculate as to the reason for this!IME (UK) Ltd replied 10/23/15, 2:29 PMIme (try global next!)
The registered office address was changed as per law requirements, however there has been no interruption in the receipt of post at No 1 Poultry, London since July 2014, If you write to us, we receive the post.
Please call our office to discuss your account with our Company at your earliest convenience.

However, I am in the midst of discussions refuting this renewal process and the immoral way this company undertakes its business. I would be interested to exchange, discuss and support action to assist others as well as myself.
If anyone has sucessfully had their day in court and got a positive result I would be most interested to get in touch and discuss how....Bramblehouse replied 5/19/16, 10:25 PMSo many people have fallen foul, and seeking assistance.

The salesman would not leave and kept on for over 2 hours. He also amended the cost by nearly 3 times the amount after it had been signed. He then got my wife to initial it. We contacted them at 9.30 the following morning and they refuse to do anything about it. They want us to provide advertising material, so they can start work. Now claiming that they have already started with no info whatsoever. They have also set up a direct debit for the full amount. Don't know what to do. We are a small sole trader with under 2 years in business and if they take the £3,000 we will be in financial difficultiesKwango replied 6/5/17, 4:39 PMDave, when did this meeting happen?John replied 6/5/17, 5:03 PMIME are in Liquidation so should not be setting up new direct debits.

Investigator John reported Internet Media Experts UK Ltd with the number +442034220756 as Harassment calls
Internet Media Experts UK Ltd whose director is Lee Martin is currently the subject of a compulsory winding up by Companies House. They are being very aggressive in chasing money now but don't pay them anything they will be out of business by early August 2016.
They have been chasing me and threatening me with a Statutory Notice.
According to the Insolvency Service (a Government Dept) a Statutory Notice is not enforceable if your debt is less than £5,000 so if you get one please do go to the court and ask for it to be set aside (a legal procedure) Because it is less than £5,000 you will automatically win and this company will have to pay both yours and the courts costs.
They use a debt collection company called Commercial Debt Recovery (Maurice McCarthy or Becca). Both come across as friendly at first but soon show their true colours when you refuse to pay.
Tell them you dispute the invoice and they must leave you alone. If they keep calling you then get in touch with the police and report them for harassment. Keep a log of all your calls and texts, dates, times etc.
Also call Blackpool Trading Standards on 01253 478375 they are very interested in Commercial Debt Recovery and their tactics.

Many ThanksJohn replied 12/17/16, 12:27 PMBEWARE - Please note that Internet Media Experts UK Ltd have changed their name to The General Advertising Company LtdJohn replied 3/2/17, 2:26 PMHello everyone, just thought I'd let you all know the good news that Internet Media Experts Ltd or The General Advertising Company Ltd as they are now known have gone into liquidation. DO NOT MAKE ANY PAYMENTS. -
bblt reported Internet Media Experts with the number +442034220756 as Cost trap
They are scammers - they do nothing for the money and role over the contract automatically. Do not pay them any more money and just keep telling them that their contract is invalid.
Dave replied 6/6/17, 4:53 PMWe signed Thursday, cancelled the Direct debit on friday. Although we contacted them several times, we couldn't get past reception. Had a conversation with a solicitor on this thread and they gave me really good advice. About 10 mins later we received an email from IME LTD saying the Direct Debit with them had been cancelled by our bank. went on to say that we need not take any further action as no more payments will be taken under this mandate. Hopefully we are OK. Advised to send them a letter stating that we don't want this, want no further contact from them and not to get in touch in 24 months time. Thanks for all the help off of this thread.
Dave replied 6/13/17, 1:36 PMThought this company had gone away but I am now being told to send them advertising material or they will go ahead with it anyway. They accept that the agreement will be cancelled after 24 months but still want payment. Like it has been mentioned time and again, they are continuing to chase me regardless.John replied 6/13/17, 2:09 PMThe company is in liquidation, just ignore everything from them. Just ignore everything from them, do not enter into any correspondence or conversations. I ignored them for months and they eventually gave upDave replied 6/13/17, 2:55 PMThanks John, I will heed your advice and ignore them. -

Beware of this company, I signed a 12 month contract and now they are trying to have me for another year. called to discus this with them and straight away they threaten me with legal action. this alone tells me they have many un happy customers. there's no talking to them, they quote the small print meaning the large print on the front means nothing at all.. beware people do not use this company

This company now goes by 'Staff Benefits Program Ltd' and has changed hands once again.
Lee Martin is still pulling the strings, but they're still out there scamming small businesses like myself. If only I had seen the numerous threads before signing their agreement! -

This company has now got a debt collection agency because I won't pay and are threatening me with court action. I have tried to speak to them, emailed them etc. but they just don't care. I wish I could contact someone who has had success against these scammers.
Tariq Islam replied 11/16/20, 10:32 PMYou should threaten them to go to court then they will run away. This is a fraud company with no legal value provided you don't owe money -

Investigator Wickenman reported Internet Media with the number 02034220756 as Cost trap
Very deceitful and aggressive company hiding behind extremely onerous and dodgy Terms and Conditions. Buried away in an agreement that is designed to appear to be for two-years are clauses extending this, which would then make it a five-year contract. The website the advertising claims to be for is a "member only" site with very little traffic to it. Total con' trick of the worst variety.
DDS replied 5/1/15, 11:47 AMRefuse to pay a penny more. I begged them to take me to court, but they haven't done it yet and I doubt they will. The apparent debt collection company that tried to chase me for payment is ran by a woman who has been involved in similar advertising scams. They know that they will be exposed for being scammers if they went to court, but they will try and bully the money out of you. I would suggest ignoring them like I have.AppleTree replied 5/13/15, 4:44 PMContact Trading Standards - very helpful.
