The Money Club

Most of the responses to this thread seem to come from people that are either not members or people that have not fully taken advantage of the Money Club's services. Like a gym membership, it won't do you any good if you don't use it and the benefits are not always instant. I joined after the club was recomended to me by a friend. Reading the comments they seem to be more about telephone sales than the club. Frankly I hate telemarketing. I made the mistake of answering a survey in exchange for £25.00 of vouchers and spend the next two months on the phone telling sales people that I didn't want ... more

Contacted by the company who claimed I had expressed an interest I had not and could also not understand how they had obtained my phone number as I am ex directory. Because I was looking for a new television I though I would give them a try I joined on the 21stth June they had a special offer where you joined for a month which cost a £1 if you did not cancell you would then pay the full membership which cost £98. I decided to cancel on the and received confirmation on the 7th July a few days later I was admitted to hospital critically ill and was unable to check my account to make sure they ... more

HI i am so glad that i am not the only one. I have just cancelled my memebership 6/11/07 which on my memebership letter was the last day i could cancel and still get my £89 back to be told that no i would NOT be getting it back as my free memebership expired on 5/11/08. so i re read my letter even told them what it said to be told we're keeping your money anyway! so cancelled both membership and direct debit so they had no chance of taken money out, to go to my bank today and find that they had taken out another£98 for the annual fee even though i had cancelled my membership.phoned them and ... more

I have just spent 3 frustrating months tryong to get my £98 membership fee back from this company. I was SO reluctant to join up but the sales rep insisted it would make my life better (why do I not learn??!) and he promised that we could cancel via the telephone rather than having to write in. Of course, it turned out not to be the case! It has proved impossible to get my money back, I was told to write in person, I did, twice! Guess what - they never received the letters. The main woman I dealthwith was stunningly unprofessional and probably the most snotty person in the universe of the ... more

After feeling pressured over the phone, I joined The Money Club. I felt that I could not put the phone down on them as they rang me at work. I was assured that the joining fee was a one-off payment and assumed that this was covered by the £~80 taken out of my account on the first day. What I was not told was that the payment came in two parts and that I would be charged again two months later; when I wrote to complain, they did not address my complaint at all and sent a very generic letter by return. They can provide nothing for you that you cannot find yourself online and with less effort ... more
