Ask yourself for £600 how can a company afford to administer, survey and represent you at a valuation tribunal and make a profit?  It's impossible.  That's why they don't follow the appeals through like CVS and all the other Manchester companies.  All they do is lodge the appeal.  When it comes to a hearing where they are supposed to represent you, they either don't turn up or they withdraw the appeal.  And then the utility bill helpline slags them off, but they are doing exactly the same, and then applying to wind the company up.  There are decent companies out there who do what they say they wil do and no doubt get good reductions.  But Gary Davies and the Manchester bunch aren't a part of that.

Did you have any further outcome?

Every body be-aware of clements agency.
They call you about rates relief and take lots of commission and don't do anything.
This company is really fraud company and staff is very rude. They called to people and lie about everything to gets rates relief. This is my advice don't deal with those people.

how did you get on?

I too have found myself in the same situation and have had £500 plus vat taken from my account on receipt of the "acknowledgement letter" from the VO.

I feel like such a fool

Clements Agency Group called me to reduce to rates and I will be able to get refund from the council.
Complete Scam company as initially they charge £120 and then £600 even without telling you.
Had to call them several times for my refund from them. They don't listen to you and don't answer your calls.
Tells you lie every time. Lady called Stella is an absolute shame and lies all the time.
Had to go through the bank to charge back the amounts as they don't refund.
Don't ever use them as this is a scam company complete waste of time and money.
Stay Away from them, those who have already paid for the service and never got any results call your bank and explain them that this company never keep to the service they initially offer.

Hi have you had any success in your litigation of this company?
They are asking me for quite a lot of money.

We stopped this company taking any more payments and they took us to court and won!!!

Clements agency one of the biggest scam, lier and exploit people to steel money, by pitching you you rateable value is high and they will lower it. Totally fraud . Sue who is the director and formerly they people use to run the company called Hammer properties. They are same people running the same business but with the different name of the company Elliot devise one of the big [***], and prick.
Once you have given your card number they will deduct your money without your permission or knowing you. Please don't sign any contract which they sent you firstly via email or post. People speak to you on the phone they are not the surveyors.

The contact number belongs to a company called The Clements Agency Group who everyone should avoid at all costs. From researching about them further, it seems that they are targeting new or first time business owners by offering to help lower their business rates. They first contacted us over the phone in a friendly manner and offered to help lower our rates and said that we could cancel and opt out at any time. We agreed but did not sign anything and waited for the paperwork to arrive. Thankfully we did not sign any contracts with them and requested to cancel the appeal. We were then told that this was not promised and because they do not record their phone calls, there was no way to provide proof of this.

The company then decided to take out £700 from our account despite our request to cancel. Once we called up to speak to them and ask for the refund, they refused to co-operate. The funds were taken from our account using our card details, which we did not authorise whatsoever, so we've had to cancel the card and dispute this with our bank. They even sent over a screenshot of them using our card details to submit the transaction! We have reported them to Action Fraud for the use of our card and reported them to Trading Standards for their practices.

If you research this company, their Facebook page link pops up and you can see that there is hardly any information on the company or any comments on the pages. Their website and emails are riddled with grammatical mistakes and lack of information on what they do exactly. Definitely steer clear from this company as it has been an absolute nightmare dealing with them and they know exactly who to target and take advantage of.

So it seems that the government is going to charge to appeal rates to get rid of the no win no fee comapmies as they have clogged up the system with appeals.

So it would seem. There is a definite thought now that the no win no fee companies are the actual ones who have not only clogged up the system with unnecessary appeals but also actually do no work....they wait and see if other agents get reductions in the area and sit on their shirt tails to get the same and then charge the client 50% for the entire block. With vat they more than the client. You don't get something for nothing and it is logical to understand to do the work properly there is a cost. If you are no win no fee who pays the cost of the work needed........easier not to do the work and wait and get money for nothing.

I have been saying this for ever. How can any company take on hundreds of clients and do the work with a RICs Chatered Surveyor basically for nothing. It does not pan out. Either those that get a reduction are charged for everyone else's appeals which is not really fair or they don't actually do the work and just hope for the best to charge ridiculous amounts and make huge profits............

Hear hear! You have to expect to pay and if a company says pay at the other end how are they paying to do the work properly.....in this day and age the days of no win no fee are diminishing. The accident type are not allowed any more and you have take out insurance.....I have never understood the expectation of folk who think that a company will be able to do the work and if there is no result absorb the cost? It's obvious that they just don't do the work and hope for the best......I have seen so many cases from no win no fee that have not had a reduction for another company to take it on and get one....
