Company: [redacted]Complaint ID: [redacted]Dear Mr. [redacted],We have received your letter with the complaint statement in connection with the above contract file. As a Company we do look to settle any issues with our Customers that may arise in respect of the Order itself and...
services provided. On occasions there are issues that can be difficult to resolve and delays can occur in answering Customers in detail. As a new Company we do strive to handle any outstanding complaints as quickly as possible but we regret that a proposal to resolve is not always accepted by the Customer. The contract file is then passed to our Legal Department for further action in an attempt to resolve and to avoid possible court action being taken.We are disappointed that complaints do arise but due to the nature of the business the complaints received from Customers can be similar. In this matter we do not agree with the statement that the business has made but we shall look to contact the business further to seek an agreement and deal with the issues raised in more detail, if possible.We would advise that all Customers have signed an Order form which sets out the terms of the business and the fees that are payable for the services being provided. The period of the contract term is also clearly stated in those terms. As a business the Order form would have been read before it was completed and signed. As with other Companies in this sector all Orders have to be signed by an authorized person and the Order form only allows for an authorized person to sign. This avoids any issues being raised after the Order form is received by the Company and the work undertaken.This Company, as an online business directory service provider does not employ any Representatives to contact a business by telephone to secure new contracts or make any visits to a business office or location. All Purchase Orders are received by fax and do not advertise any service. It is for each business to read the terms and decide if they require the service and complete the Purchase Order.There are occasions as in this contract when a business completes the Order form and later argues that the contract is not valid for a number of reasons. We have noted the statement but we do not agree with the facts. The terms of the contract are clear and there is certainly no misrepresentation within the terms as to the fees payable and the contract period of two years. The name of the Company which provides the service is also shown throughout the Order form and cannot be confused with any other Company that provides similar services. The Company makes it clear that the service is being provided by Yellow Holding Ltd.The Company also makes it clear that the Order is for services and is not a form to update business information. As the fees are set out for the service a business cannot later argue that they only signed the form as they believed the service being provided was free.The Company will also only issue an invoice after the work was undertaken and only if the Order form is completed correctly and signed by an authorized person. In the event of non payment the Company will always send reminder letters and attempt to contact the business by telephone to discuss the account and non payment.There are also occasions where the Order form may not have been read in detail by the business prior to completion and signing. As you will understand this does not provide the business with a reason to argue that the Company was misleading them or failed to set out all the terms as to the services being provided. As a business they are responsible to read all terms and if they are unclear in any way then contact the Company for clarification or make a decision not to complete and order the service. The Company cannot be responsible for any failures on the part of the business in returning the Order.If a cancellation is requested then it will consider the reasons but as with any business to business contract there is no requirement for a cancellation clause to be inserted within the terms as in the case of a Consumer Agreement. If the work has been undertaken and an invoice issued then the Company will unlikely agree to cancel but it is dependant upon the reasons. If there is an issue then the Company will look to resolve and reach an agreement.In this matter there does not appear to be any valid reasons or merit in the complaint as to why the contract should be cancelled or be void. We acknowledge that the Complainant may not agree but the fees are due as invoiced. We cannot provide you with any other details on the Order itself or comment further on the issue made by the Complainant. We have dealt generally with the contract and procedures but we will look to discuss this further with the business and would ask that the business contact the Company so as to seek an agreement regarding the unpaid invoice. The business should not ignore the invoice.We must advise that the Company will not at this time cancel the contract or invoice unless an agreement can be reached with the business. It would look to take further action to recover all the fees invoiced and the business must be ware of such action if an agreement is not reached.Would you please forward a copy of this letter to the business and we await hearing from them so as to discuss the contract account in more detail.Yours sincerelyYellow Holding Ltd

What actually happens; A fax comes in over the fax machine. It states that this is not a bill. I personally think they put an error on your information on purpose so that you will correct it. In our case they listed our phone number wrong. Seeing that it is not a bill, an employee corrects the mistake, signs the form and faxes it back. In the very fine print it states that now we "have ordered the "above" given business listing at The Directory [redacted] for a term of two years starting 2 days from the date of the order, at a price of US $1,099.00 per year". If you go to the above website [redacted] it actually takes you to Oregon.net. At the Oregon.net website if you enter [redacted], inc into the search, our business does not even come up. Furthermore our business is territory driven and we do not operate outside of our state, we do not need national advertising, as we would be taking business from another representative's territory and thus in trouble with the company we represent.I paid for the first year, just to make them go away and received nothing in return, which they know you won't receive anything in return. I am done with this issue, I have my attorney aware of the issue and he will be representing me from here forward. His name is Justin Martin of Myatt & Bell. Any further action from "Yellow Holding Ltd" with result in a law suit from [redacted], inc. as I will be happy to pay an attorney and actually receive a service for my money than to pay Yellow Holding LTD and get nothing. They are a fraudulent company and they know it and they also know how to trick busy people, too busy trying to run a company and make money legitimately to read very very fine print at the bottom of a form. Oh and the print they use to state that "This is not a bill" is extremely extremely large.

While this company had term in fine print on the initial fax, the fax itself was under the guise of yellow pages and not yellow holding LTD, and merely looked like an information update. I disagree that this is a valid claim, and want know more contact from this "company" or their representatives. It is apparent from others that have posted with the Revdex.com that this company is fraudulent, and we will not make any further contact with them.

What the Business does not address is the fact that we wish to cancel our "order," plain and simple. They mention that the "order form" has to be signed by an authorized representative of the business, BUT there is no way for them to know whether the person that signed the form is, in fact, an authorized representative. My issue is that the signature was not, in fact, authorized, and we need the order to be cancelled. What I cannot accept is that the Business refuses to cancel my order, even though it states NO WHERE in their fine print that the order may not be cancelled. Since there is no such clause, I insist the so-called "service" be cancelled and our "order" terminated. Until that happens, the issue cannot be considered resolved.

Upon research I have learned that the company Yellow Holding Ltd in Rochester NY operates out of a foreign country. Also, the Foreign Company has several companies with variations of the name, ie: YellowPage-California.com, Yellow Page B.V., Yellow Data Services Ltd, etc and it is all a scam. Some of these companies have been issued restraining orders as they falsely represent themselves as being affiliated with a local yellow pages directory. On July 26, 2011 the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against Yellow Page B.V. and Yellow Data Services Ltd for there fraudulent misrepresentation. If there is no legal action against Yellow Holdings Ltd at this time then it will be coming.I will be contacting the Federal Trade Commission, the US Postal Inspection Service for potential abuse of the USPS through mailings, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre as well on this matter.

No where on this form does it say that if you agree to the terms if signed. It clearly states that this is not a bill. Also the logo is far too close to the Real Yellow Pages. It also says Yellow Pages, when in fact they are Yellow Holding Ltd. This is very deceptive and unethical form of business. Also I am not authorized by my company to sign for new services, so my signature is not a valid acceptance on behalf of Brownlee-Morrow. I only signed because I thought this was an update to our listing the Real Yellow Pages. An unauthorized signature in itself voids the contract. Please let them know that I have entered a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the US Postal Inspection Service. Next step will be getting our lawyers involved. In no way will Brownlee-Morrow pay this invoice.

I have read countless articles online and watched news reports that indicate this business is a scam, and they have successfully scammed businesses out of over $14 million over the last few years. How they are continuing to scam businesses to this day I just don't understand. When I received the first bill for over $1000, which was a surprise to me, I immediately called to cancel this online listing. At which time they told me it was a legally binding contract and I had to pay. Not giving businesses an option to cancel is absolutely ridiculous. This so-called listing was supposed to be online - it's very easy to delete an online listing if a business should choose to cancel or change their minds. It's not as if thousands of books went to print. I have never seen proof of an actual online directory that features our business. I requested proof of this online directory, but of course Yellow Holding was unable to provide. I am certain the reason is because it doesn't exist and they are trying to weasel businesses out of money. Especially preying on small businesses that are worried about their credit rating being affected, so they end up paying these ridiculous charges. In their email they indicated that they send "reminder letters", which is absolutely true, but every time they send a reminder letter (which is every 2 weeks) they charge you a $50 reminder fee. So the charges quickly add up and soon you find yourself owing thousands of dollars for something that did not exist! Who has ever heard of businesses charging $50 reminders every 2 weeks?"Yellow Holding" needs to understand that they will not scam this business, and we will not be paying any of these charges. And I ask this company to stop harassing our business.

Company: [redacted]Complaint ID: [redacted]Dear Mr. [redacted],We have received your letter with the complaint statement in connection with the above contract file. As a Company we do look to settle any issues with our Customers that may arise in respect of the Order itself and...
services provided. On occasions there are issues that can be difficult to resolve and delays can occur in answering Customers in detail. As a new Company we do strive to handle any outstanding complaints as quickly as possible but we regret that a proposal to resolve is not always accepted by the Customer. The contract file is then passed to our Legal Department for further action in an attempt to resolve and to avoid possible court action being taken.We are disappointed that complaints do arise but due to the nature of the business the complaints received from Customers can be similar. In this matter we do not agree with the statement that the business has made but we shall look to contact the business further to seek an agreement and deal with the issues raised in more detail, if possible.We would advise that all Customers have signed an Order form which sets out the terms of the business and the fees that are payable for the services being provided. The period of the contract term is also clearly stated in those terms. As a business the Order form would have been read before it was completed and signed. As with other Companies in this sector all Orders have to be signed by an authorized person and the Order form only allows for an authorized person to sign. This avoids any issues being raised after the Order form is received by the Company and the work undertaken.This Company, as an online business directory service provider does not employ any Representatives to contact a business by telephone to secure new contracts or make any visits to a business office or location. All Purchase Orders are received by fax and do not advertise any service. It is for each business to read the terms and decide if they require the service and complete the Purchase Order.There are occasions as in this contract when a business completes the Order form and later argues that the contract is not valid for a number of reasons. We have noted the statement but we do not agree with the facts. The terms of the contract are clear and there is certainly no misrepresentation within the terms as to the fees payable and the contract period of two years. The name of the Company which provides the service is also shown throughout the Order form and cannot be confused with any other Company that provides similar services. The Company makes it clear that the service is being provided by Yellow Holding Ltd.The Company also makes it clear that the Order is for services and is not a form to update business information. As the fees are set out for the service a business cannot later argue that they only signed the form as they believed the service being provided was free.The Company will also only issue an invoice after the work was undertaken and only if the Order form is completed correctly and signed by an authorized person. In the event of non payment the Company will always send reminder letters and attempt to contact the business by telephone to discuss the account and non payment.There are also occasions where the Order form may not have been read in detail by the business prior to completion and signing. As you will understand this does not provide the business with a reason to argue that the Company was misleading them or failed to set out all the terms as to the services being provided. As a business they are responsible to read all terms and if they are unclear in any way then contact the Company for clarification or make a decision not to complete and order the service. The Company cannot be responsible for any failures on the part of the business in returning the Order.If a cancellation is requested then it will consider the reasons but as with any business to business contract there is no requirement for a cancellation clause to be inserted within the terms as in the case of a Consumer Agreement. If the work has been undertaken and an invoice issued then the Company will unlikely agree to cancel but it is dependant upon the reasons. If there is an issue then the Company will look to resolve and reach an agreement.In this matter there does not appear to be any valid reasons or merit in the complaint as to why the contract should be cancelled or be void. We acknowledge that the Complainant may not agree but the fees are due as invoiced. We cannot provide you with any other details on the Order itself or comment further on the issue made by the Complainant. We have dealt generally with the contract and procedures but we will look to discuss this further with the business and would ask that the business contact the Company so as to seek an agreement regarding the unpaid invoice. The business should not ignore the invoice.We must advise that the Company will not at this time cancel the contract or invoice unless an agreement can be reached with the business. It would look to take further action to recover all the fees invoiced and the business must be ware of such action if an agreement is not reached.Would you please forward a copy of this letter to the business and we await hearing from them so as to discuss the contract account in more detail.Yours sincerelyYellow Holding Ltd

What actually happens; A fax comes in over the fax machine. It states that this is not a bill. I personally think they put an error on your information on purpose so that you will correct it. In our case they listed our phone number wrong. Seeing that it is not a bill, an employee corrects the mistake, signs the form and faxes it back. In the very fine print it states that now we "have ordered the "above" given business listing at The Directory [redacted] for a term of two years starting 2 days from the date of the order, at a price of US $1,099.00 per year". If you go to the above website [redacted] it actually takes you to Oregon.net. At the Oregon.net website if you enter [redacted], inc into the search, our business does not even come up. Furthermore our business is territory driven and we do not operate outside of our state, we do not need national advertising, as we would be taking business from another representative's territory and thus in trouble with the company we represent.I paid for the first year, just to make them go away and received nothing in return, which they know you won't receive anything in return. I am done with this issue, I have my attorney aware of the issue and he will be representing me from here forward. His name is Justin Martin of Myatt & Bell. Any further action from "Yellow Holding Ltd" with result in a law suit from [redacted], inc. as I will be happy to pay an attorney and actually receive a service for my money than to pay Yellow Holding LTD and get nothing. They are a fraudulent company and they know it and they also know how to trick busy people, too busy trying to run a company and make money legitimately to read very very fine print at the bottom of a form. Oh and the print they use to state that "This is not a bill" is extremely extremely large.

While this company had term in fine print on the initial fax, the fax itself was under the guise of yellow pages and not yellow holding LTD, and merely looked like an information update. I disagree that this is a valid claim, and want know more contact from this "company" or their representatives. It is apparent from others that have posted with the Revdex.com that this company is fraudulent, and we will not make any further contact with them.

What the Business does not address is the fact that we wish to cancel our "order," plain and simple. They mention that the "order form" has to be signed by an authorized representative of the business, BUT there is no way for them to know whether the person that signed the form is, in fact, an authorized representative. My issue is that the signature was not, in fact, authorized, and we need the order to be cancelled. What I cannot accept is that the Business refuses to cancel my order, even though it states NO WHERE in their fine print that the order may not be cancelled. Since there is no such clause, I insist the so-called "service" be cancelled and our "order" terminated. Until that happens, the issue cannot be considered resolved.

Upon research I have learned that the company Yellow Holding Ltd in Rochester NY operates out of a foreign country. Also, the Foreign Company has several companies with variations of the name, ie: YellowPage-California.com, Yellow Page B.V., Yellow Data Services Ltd, etc and it is all a scam. Some of these companies have been issued restraining orders as they falsely represent themselves as being affiliated with a local yellow pages directory. On July 26, 2011 the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit against Yellow Page B.V. and Yellow Data Services Ltd for there fraudulent misrepresentation. If there is no legal action against Yellow Holdings Ltd at this time then it will be coming.I will be contacting the Federal Trade Commission, the US Postal Inspection Service for potential abuse of the USPS through mailings, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre as well on this matter.

No where on this form does it say that if you agree to the terms if signed. It clearly states that this is not a bill. Also the logo is far too close to the Real Yellow Pages. It also says Yellow Pages, when in fact they are Yellow Holding Ltd. This is very deceptive and unethical form of business. Also I am not authorized by my company to sign for new services, so my signature is not a valid acceptance on behalf of Brownlee-Morrow. I only signed because I thought this was an update to our listing the Real Yellow Pages. An unauthorized signature in itself voids the contract. Please let them know that I have entered a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and the US Postal Inspection Service. Next step will be getting our lawyers involved. In no way will Brownlee-Morrow pay this invoice.

We acknowledge that the Complainant may not agree but the fees are due as invoiced. We cannot provide you with any other details on the Order itself or comment further on the issue made by the Complainant. We have dealt generally with the contract and procedures but we will look to discuss this further with the business and would ask that the business contact the Company so as to seek an agreement regarding the unpaid invoice. The business should not ignore the invoice.We must advise that the Company will not at this time cancel the contract or invoice unless an agreement can be reached with the business. It would look to take further action to recover all the fees invoiced and the business must be ware of such action if an agreement is not reached.Would you please forward a copy of this letter to the business and we await hearing from them so as to discuss the contract account in more detail.Yours sincerelyYellow Holding Ltd

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I have read countless articles online and watched news reports that indicate this business is a scam, and they have successfully scammed businesses out of over $14 million over the last few years. How they are continuing to scam businesses to this day I just don't understand. When I received the first bill for over $1000, which was a surprise to me, I immediately called to cancel this online listing. At which time they told me it was a legally binding contract and I had to pay. Not giving businesses an option to cancel is absolutely ridiculous. This so-called listing was supposed to be online - it's very easy to delete an online listing if a business should choose to cancel or change their minds. It's not as if thousands of books went to print. I have never seen proof of an actual online directory that features our business. I requested proof of this online directory, but of course Yellow Holding was unable to provide. I am certain the reason is because it doesn't exist and they are trying to weasel businesses out of money. Especially preying on small businesses that are worried about their credit rating being affected, so they end up paying these ridiculous charges. In their email they indicated that they send "reminder letters", which is absolutely true, but every time they send a reminder letter (which is every 2 weeks) they charge you a $50 reminder fee. So the charges quickly add up and soon you find yourself owing thousands of dollars for something that did not exist! Who has ever heard of businesses charging $50 reminders every 2 weeks?"Yellow Holding" needs to understand that they will not scam this business, and we will not be paying any of these charges. And I ask this company to stop harassing our business.
