Hi diane,

Have you heard anything back?  Did you end up in court?

I had a call from the IDBC today offering to save me money on my business rates.  They said I have 7 days to cancel so I said OK, why not.  As soon as I got off the phone I checked online and found posts like yours.  I called them right back and cancelled, they said OK that's been cancelled and gave me a reference number.  I guess it's not the last I will be hearing from them. What a bore........

Thanks.

I just had a call from these people, Kate....  I said OK to the 14 day call off period.  I put down the phone, checked the internet and found your messages.  I called them right back and spoke to some guy called Ryan Garwood.  He said that's fine to cancel and gave me a ref number RG2609.  I asked for email confirmation of the cancellation but he said he can't do that and assured me that it was cancelled.  I guess it's not the last I have heard from them.

I think I will adopt the ignoring tactic and hope they disappear...............

If anyone has any advice please let me know,

Thanks

29 year old Daniel Paul Underwood claims to be different people in the company like an old Morcombe and Wise Sketch. Apparently he reads this blog. So Daniel, matey boy go and get a real job and stop scamming people. Is it really worth all the grief you're going to get.

HAHA this 'company' IDBC are laughable. They did the same to me but they are messing with the wrong person. I gave them a voley of abuse and they hung up on me. Just tell them to see you in court and the can all F**ck off. Bunch of low life idoit tricksters that prey on the weak, Just tell them to go to hell!!!

told on fridayby phone that i was not eigible to pay business rates,leaflet received on saturday by recorded delivery. address on letter incorrect,website checked and all these comments found,thanks guys. efusal letter will be posted tomorrow by recorded delivery, will keep you posted

Shaun from IDBC phoned the company phone line saying he was from the Inland Revenue and needed to speak to the proprietor urgently concerning to arrange for a refund on Business Rates as the company had been overcharged.I refused to give him the number and looked the number up on Google and found these messages from people who had been conned. Needless to say the proprietor will not be phoning them back.

daniel likes to be called sir so if he rings try it he then looses his rag and we all know hes hiding somewhere nothing but a looser

Mr. Smith, how do you know Sir's identity?

this daniel lives in the wollaton ng8 area of nottingham

is there a connection between these fraudsters and proctor law and their various spin offs? All business rating scams based in Nottingham.

sorry mate havent a clue been to castle donnington but as i thought it was a waste of time its probably used as a postal address only and that would be picked up at any unearthly time

please help these people are doing the same to me IDBC started calling me on 01st Oct and are now harrassing me for money. They are very threating over the phone and i have been mislead by them from the start. What can be done to stop it.

keith all you have got to do is ignore all the false paperwork and dont pick up any unknown telephone numbers because they will never leave you a contact number if they do post it on here and i for one will phone continuously but obviously not 08 numbers because they no you wont keep ringing because of the cost     dont worry mate they cant do anything

After receiving your invoice and after some research of my own I have come to realise your deceit . I was led to believe that my agreement with you was on a no win no fee basis, an acknowledgement from the VOA is not a win and certainly does not mean you can invoice me for. After informing the VOA and Trading Standards of my experience it is clear that your methods are unethical and somewhat sly. I make it clear to you I have no intentions of paying the invoice you sent me and I strongly urge you to refrain from making any contact with me , I am also going to be sending a copy of this e-mail to the VOA and will be informing them that I wish to take the appeal in my own name!


This is my response to this scam after experiencing the same as you guys, there getting sweet FA from me. I spoke to trading standards and the VOA and found out that all there doing is going on the VOA website and filling in application which is free for you to do yourself. Has anyone listened to their "verbal agreement with ourselves" repeats "SIR"?  Just keep repeating to him no win no fee and acknowledgement from the VOA is not a win then listen how "SIR" flips his lid LOL!

I have a friend who has a similar set up but he makes it clear that they charge  £170 upfront to deal with the application regardless of it being successful or not, He's had many a people who tried to set him up by having police or solicitors listening into the consultation , but the clients were told that everything is above aboard and legal.

I hope this two bob company (IDBC) read this comment and realise that people are aware of their rights and understand when they are being misled. So IDBC you can try to spin as many legal loopholes as you like but you're not getting a penny!!!

Hello

Would you be kind to tell me what action have you taken? we are on the same problem IDBC are also treateningus with legal action.

Please reply

Hi Alison

Sorry to hear you are going to court, I hope you can sort things out!  Please let us know the outcome as we have also been mislead by I D B C.

Hope people witll take notice IDBC are a SCAM.

Take a look at the telephone number I have given in an earlier post.  There is lots of information on that number about how to deal with this lot.   It is unlikely that they took Alison to court as they would have lost big time.  You will see from other posts on here that they have already been defrauding HMRC by charging VAT illegally.  Trading Standards are also well aware of them.  The main thing is, don't worry.

i have the same problem with them (IDBC)  as reported by other call victims. i told them today that i am not gonna pay them a penny they hang up. please spread the word for other businesses not to fall in this trap.

thank you.

Our company had a run in with IDBC. Offered a no win no fee deal. being an idiot we accepted and recieved documents through post. then next day recieved an invoice for around 500 quid ! rang up and was told it was a no case no fee the liars! Told them we had been missold and wanted to cancel but they said we could not and it was a verbal agreement. Alarm bells here.

Ring the action fraud line. Set up by the police for this kind of thing 0300 123 2040.

The people of action fraud line laughed and said this company were jokes and not to pay a penny as they had no case and would not take us to court.

we rang IDBC told them they had been reported and we wouldn't be paying. 4 months on not one call. BRILLIANT!

idbc call me from 07505484927 after I refused to pick up the phone from their witheld number, check this number out.
