Unsatisfactory Experience with Consultation and Invoicing
Disappointment with Initial Consultation
The reviewer, Nigel Allinson, had a free consultation with the company but was left feeling disappointed with the experience. They requested some rough notes to cover the points discussed, which arrived weeks later.
Surprise Invoicing
To make matters worse, the reviewer was invoiced for 1200 months later, without any prior mention of the cost. This was a shock to them, and they felt misled.
Dishonest Business Practices
The company's approach to invoicing and communication has been deemed dishonest by the reviewer. They were offered a free meeting to discuss the invoice, but only if they agreed to pay it first. The reviewer has expressed no interest in taking them up on this offer, citing a lack of trust in the company.
