Signed up for the Free Trial, as per the google link. Was impressed with the initial setup but this was just for research. Used the service for about a week to see if anything of interest dropped and realised this wasnt for us.
Hay presto the boss pulls me into the office wondering why a £580 invoice has hit the desk. This was after nothing from the QSL site to me warning that the subscription was ending and a charge would follow.
On calling the company (opening hours 9-5 but answer phone not turned off untill after 9.30). I spoke to a woman involved stating there was an issue only to receive a well prepared speach on T&C's. I will accept that i should have read a little deeper but again i don't think you can get any close to a scam than this, The option of a free trial is that you get to trial it then if you are happy you Buy the service. As per the people below i will be reporting this to trading standards and i hope that more people will follow in this.

The people at QSL must be quite amoral. Not wrong - because their Ts&Cs probably do stack up, but amoral - and they know exactly what they are doing.
In our case as a new business we signed up to a number of free tender websites including QSL to see how they worked. Like other users we got an invoice out of the blue 2 months later:
- Not a single customer service call in the meantime (unlike every other website).
- Barely clicked on by us (which makes the lack of customer service even more mystifying - do they not care that people don't use the product?).
The invoice had attached to it a screen print of the page where one signed up to it - has anybody ever heard of that?? They know in advance that their customers will not understand why they have an invoice.
Since then they ignored emails - and worse pretended that they had not received them.
Life is too short so we paid up from personal funds as the business does not have the money - but they make my blood boil! AVOID IT!!!
You are not the only one for this to happen to

I cannot believe this company. We have been posted a bill of £600.00 for service's which we havnt not used. Alison Cooks who was extremely rude on the phone said it was in my name and I had to pay this amount. I said "Somebody has used my details, gone into my email and signed me up for it, this is clearly a security breech. Oh and another thing do you have anything with my signature signing up to your service?" Answer I got was " Thats not our problems, you have a security breech on your side, which is not our problem."
I logged into the account, and found tenders which were not even in London so they are you could say they are selling invalid goods.
Can any one help me fiight them. I am willing to pay for someone's time and help with this matter, instead of paying QSL scammers

QSL LOST THEIR COURT CASE!
While Natalie Marks is a notorious QSL low life, the actual "Director" of the company is a Mr. Gordon Hosie. He is the one who arrived at court today as the claimant. A google search on him revealed some interesting information. Here's one piece of that PUBLIC information: http://company-director-check.co.uk/director/90725868.
The Judge gave this increasingly red-faced and sweaty individual quite a hard time from the outset, particularly in respect to the lack of clarity of the terms and conditions presented on their website to potential clients before they sign up. Comments were also made by the Judge about the nature of his business practice, and he was challenged/corrected throughout for his bulls****ing and false claims. In fact, his claims actually provoked outright laughter on more than one occasion.
It also didn't help that he presented "evidence" in the form of screenshots and documentation that were dated/copyrighted in 2011, when they were supposed to relate to 2010. And boy did he squirm when the subject of ignoring numerous letters was raised, especially as he had no evidence to support his repeated claim that he "was certain" that the "accounts department" would've telephoned in response. They didn't. Hence no evidence of this, or any ability to provide details.
It also didn't go down well with him when it was pointed out that QSL was the subject of numerous complaints on scam websites, such as this. Apparently he had no idea of these complaints at all, and couldn't understand why the issue was being raised. Hmm.
Anyway, the bottom line was that QSL had no basis to invoice or subsequently sue the company my partner worked for. QSL didn't bother to check and consequently had no evidence that my partner had the authority of her company to sign up on their behalf.
So stand up to them. It would be nice to think of him running out of another court room red-faced, and seemingly about to burst into tears. And before anyone gets upset abou the info I posted on Mr. Hosie above, it's public domain, and therefore perfectly legal.

Hi, Congratulations for winning the court case. But would you happen to know if the case was still to be one if a director was to be the one who signed up for the free trail as this is what has happened to me. But well done for winning, I hope this sucess continues for everybody else.

Hi Robert,
I think even if you are the director you should have a strong chance of winning the case since we won the case on the grounds that the terms and conditions for the annual subscription to continue after the free trail period were not presented clearly by QSL on the website. In my case, I did not see the terms and conditions on the screen, and signed up assuming it was a free trial. As long as you can prove that you did not sign a contract with them you shoud with these conditions stated clearly you have solid legal grounds.

Hi Atiya,
Many thanks for giving us this feedback. Really does help. I have been told by QSL that I have agreed to the T and A by clicking on the check box. But what your saying is, there is no contract as I have not really signed for anything? So really this would be enough to fight with?

congratulations for winning this scumbag in court we have a summons for over £2000.00 from qsl - apparantley we ticked the box twice and they have renewed one of the subscriptions for a second year ! i would be very grateful for any help or further comments as i am trying to build a case against them how can they be allowed to rip people off like this. I did cancel the subscription but it was 1 day late reaching them what a surprise ! tried writing to them/ringing them to no avail and now the ccj .

hi sumit p - dont waste the cost of a call to these people ! the woman that answers the phone reads from a script and doesnt listen to you we have tried on several occcasions - even though we have emails from them acknowledging that we cancelled the year subscription - we dont have a court date yet - i cant believe that this kind of scam goes on and that qsl are allowed to trade - someone else has told me that these tenders are available from the government website free of charge anyway!

Our case was heard on 25th October 2011 in Kettering County Court, Northamptonshire. We won the case as QSL did not have sufficient evidence to prove that we had entered a contract by merely signing-up via their website for a free trail subscription. I'd encourage everyone else not to be intimidated by them if they feel they did not knowingly sign up a contract and to challenge them at court, as I believe QSL are very likely to lose again.

Hi Steven,
Could you send me copies of the old website please as I know I will need copies of this to fight my case. I am in the same boat as everyone. I signed for the 30day trial and then they sent me an invoice for £695.00 which has now grown to over £930.00. The last letter I had off them said that they would accept £240.59 but I have never used the site so why should I pay them a penny. I know its tempting to pay the money rather than the hassle of going to court but I feel like I am being totally ripped off. Any help from other victims would be most appreciated.

Hi David, I have just been on the phone to them, and I am on the verge of giving up. They offered to reduce my subscription to 6 month for just around half the price, but as you say we havnt used any of the tenders so why should we pay? I am extremely tempted to pay the 50% and enjoy my xmas. BUT .. If I pay I am going to be out of pocket and it all just soo depressing.
How many case's have they lost? I dont want to go court and loose and end up paying more than what I already apparently owe.

i have cancelled it after getting an invoice for 650 plus pounds. on the day i got the invoice i phoned and talked to a rude women she said i had to pay and would take me to court if i didnt not. she advised me how to cancel it but still owe 650 pound. i explained they need to review the wording and how they try and do business. i will not be paying as from the research on google it looks like a scam to try and bully people into paying for a service which i know now can be found for free.

I own a medium sized media agency. One of my team signed up to what he thought was a free trial and subsequently received an invoice a month later. QSL have been unhelpful and rather agressive in seeking payment even after cancellation.
We design and build websites and in our experience their sign-up tactics are highly dubious in relation to the law. As such we are currently actioning a campaign to expose them and fight back. Our internal PR consultant is putting together a well researched article which will be published in multiple online and offline channels; so if you want to get involved please do get in touch. Contact my personal email joe474@hotmail.com.
Hi Joe. I've been reading the other reviews in regards to this website. Do you think you got a strong case against them? I hate to tell you this, but I actually went ahead and read their Terms and Conditions, and it does state rather explicitly that if a user of the free trial does not submit a request for cancellation, that user is liable for the fees. I can't honestly call this a scam site, but it definitely is very cunning and devious. It does not mention on their sign up page that you should first read their Terms and Conditions. Rather, they just put a tiny link at the a bottom on the page and use a loophole in the law and turn around and say 'but you SHOULD have read it'. Please let us all know the outcome of your actions. I hope it will be in your favor.

This is a well known SCAM site. The product they supply for almost £800 a year is available for FREE. The business model depends on VERY vague and duplicitous terms and conditions that target users associated with businesses wherein B2B law does not protect individual consumers from the misleading and egregious practice of "bait and switch" style cons. BE WARNED anyone writing a positive comment here is undoubtedly associated with the group (or yet to be billed...!) and as their heinous attempts to bully and bribe unwitting clients become more well known they are attempting to salvage the"money for nothing" ploy as best they can.
Let me make this clear - Any business that would charge a customer for a subscription based service the entire annual amount (£800) after they attempt to cancel just ONE day after the trial period ends is NOT a business you should deal with.
Again, you've been warned
LOL!! Struck a nerve did I ??? You sure are protective of QSL's dubious scam site.... I think you're actions speak louder than your words. Its got nothing to do with T&Cs & everything to do with how they treat customers. Perhaps you're the token trojan horse - all good con artists have a loss leader to pull in the suckers.
If you spent any time at all researching this sham of a business you'd realize that they ABUSE the rules and then strong arm the unwitting. Oh, and I 'm sure you've never fallen foul of not reading the rules... ever had a parking ticket? LOL!!!!!! merry xmas to you

I'm trialling QSL-tenders, so far so good, I've received several tender notices already and customer services was very helpful in finding plenty of tender categories for me. Will tell you more after I've decided whether or not to continue with the subscription.
QSL-tenders, very reasonably priced subscription fee considering they also give private sector info. Best thing about the QSL service is the 4 week free trial because it gives the opportunity to see if the service delivers what you’re looking for. Be aware,the trial gives you an opt-out and if you don’t cancel within your opt-out period you’re liable for the full subscription fee. That seems fair enough to me and is made pretty clear on their website.

Re QSL-Tenders, just finished My trial. Really impressed with their service and received 18 tenders during my trial ! Also found some private sector leads too which I didn't realise they did. Have decided to take the plunge and continue with the 12 months subscription.

Do not sign up for any of their products what so ever it's a 100% scam and they know it. They have ripped me off with a pathetic invoice for £800 and i won’t take it likely. I have been reading the threads and you have some clowns who really are QSL staff posting comments on here saying how good they are. Have you ever seen smoke without fire???? Look at the comments do you honestly think this is a one off. The problem with QSL most people give in and pay typical English well-mannered people, too nice for their own good sometimes. We are stitched up enough in this country and to have these idiots who think they will get away with it well time always comes round. If QSL think this is good business practise to suck money from people with cleverly worded bull$#*! that will never stand up FELTHOUSE & BINDLY just because you don’t receive silence is not acceptance by no means. They will have the Roth of me next week as my patience is running out quickly and when they see me in person they will understand the meaning of $#*!ing me off or anyone for that matter. BIG BIG BIG mistake *
Please anyone from QSL egger to reply, you know my name wait till you see me you will never forget it

angela, also how do you cancel if you go over your trial period i suppose it looks quite good as they say you only need pay 25 per cent of the fee as long asbyou cancel within 28 days of the trial period ending. i expect as it sounds so fair then you feel safe passing on your credit card details, hopefully as i have just done this then i may only be charged twenty five per cent, however i have not had favourable responses so far. i will keep you posted on this though.

Don't Sign up for the qsl-tenders website - I stumbled across this website offering a 15 days free facility so I signed up a couple of weeks later I recieved an invoice for £395.00.
When I contacted them they told me that the invoice was the cost in advance of use of the website ,which I didn't require .
When I explained that I wasn't a company and didn't require their service the attitude was tough ,pay up or we will set a debt collection agency on you.
I must have communicated with them about14 times and their attitude remains the same,
pay up or else.
I would suggest that anybody needing this type of service should use other similiar sites as these people are only interested in signing you up to a contract and chasing you for money .
If you where not happy with a product you could return it to a shop and have it replaced or get your money back. These people are clearly not interested in building relationships just grabbing money .
Hi, Could you tell me what your outcome was as I am having the same problem with them and they wont listen to reason. I forgot about the trial period ending and I got an invoice for £695.00 when I explained to them that I didn't want the service and asked them to cancel they didn't want to know. I need some advice as to what to do.

A year ago my friend and I had been recently made redundant and so we wanted to explore working freelance. To help us with this we set up a limited company in my freind's name. I subscribed to a couple of free website to receive tenders, whcih included QSL. None of the free e-mail bulletins that we received were useful, and so after a while we even stopped checking them. I completely forgot about QSL as their emails were going into our junk mail and I did not recall reading anything about having to pay a full year's subscription. Just a couple of months ago my freind received an email from them demanding for her to pay the £600 (the full year's subscription). My friend explained that we had not received any of their email and that they had gone direct into our junk mail.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, now QSL are taking my friend to court in October and demanding a payment of £900. I feel very bad about this, as I was the one to sign up for these e-mails, though neither of us have used their services. The company is in her name, though she has me down as her associate on the website, so legally she's is one responsible for payment.
They're obviously a ruthless and devious bunch of individuals who are using this misleading way of signing up for free e-bulletins to extort money from people. I feel so angry, but I do not know what my legal position is. I wonder if anyone who has had a similar experience would be inetersted in taking action against them jointly? We might have a better chance acting together. We need to stop these people from carrying on conning unsuspecting people in this way.
Please get in touch with me if you want to share any ideas or if you want to join me in taking action against them. My email is amunir@live.co.uk.
Thanks.

Signed up for the free trial and canceled on-line on the day as per their T&C.. or so i thought. Received more tenders the next day so phoned in and they confirmed i had canceled. Then received the invoice for £695.
They have no record of me logging on or phoning in to cancel. Should have got the name of the person i talked to!!!
Information we received wasn't helpful. Stay away

Yes QSL tenders is an absolute SCAM. Steer clear, do not pay them a penny, and note that I feel QSL staff have been directed to find forums like this and post false positive reviews so don't believe anything good about this lot as its either been posted by QSL Tenders themselves or by a complete nutter.

scam, avoid like the plague. I have contacted Trading Standards, Consumer Direct & BBC Watchdog about them. They do not trade in a fair way. Web-site full of loopholes to catch people out.
I have had similar experience with QSL as described by the people above, and now I've been summoned to appear at a court. Today I spoke with "Consumer Direct" about QSL, who have subsequently forwarded a complaint to trading standards. They also added that the more people who complain to them about that scumbag company, the better. Consumer Direct can be contacted on 0845 404 0506. If you do ring them, it might be useful to mention the reference number I was given for my complaint: SE4368599.
I will be reporting this on other scam warning websites so that more people will ring about them. It'll also be nice if anyone from QSL notices this, too. I honestly don't know how they've managed to get away with this for so long.
If you wish to contact me my email is amunir@live.co.uk

Signed this petition but concerned that it doesn't actually specify what it wants the Government to do about the problem (i.e. what actual legislation would you like brought in)? T&Cs (ironic) specifically say it won't be accepted without clearly stating what it would like the Government to do.

Yes the T&C clearly state that Free Trial will end and automatic subscription will occur but when using a free trail you do so, as i did, in good faith that you would get a genuine opportunity to opt out.
During the free trail i received 0 tenders of interest or relevance to me, my sector and geographic coverage.
I called to see what could be done when the invoice surprisingly landed on my desk but was totally blanked - Natalie took no responsibility, showed no empathy and was adamant that a full years subscription was mine. To me that is as close to a scam as you can get. Sorry.
These people are a joke they get you to put your details in for a free trial and then they try to charge you a fee. The service is also a joke you can get this information free on the government website.
This is the scottish one and There is also a uk one
http://www.qsl-tenders.co.uk/?gclid=CPbd4NfM06gCFQoa4QodHRNGAA
I have reported this Natalie to trading standards and the advertising standards agency for harrasment and also for not removing us from their list when requested. Their terms and conditions of not accepting written confirmation or verbal confirmation is illegal and just because it is inher contract does not make it legal. Also if you try to unsubscribe via their site you have no proof so it is just a joke.
If anyone has a problem you should call trading standards and the advertising standards agency.

actually, you don't get a copy of the T&Cs. They should provide a copy of their T&Cs when you sign up. Yes they are available on their website, but these can easily be altered. I advise anyone to not use them. Their service is useless. They have no customer service skills whatsoever. They should not be allowed to specify that you can only cancel via their website. What would happen if a customer for whatever reason couldnt have access to the internet to cancel, they would still charge you?! Never, ever come across a 'company' like this. Interestingly there are several 'businesses' operating from the same address. Avoid..avoid..avoid..

The same thing has happened to me - I did not see any writing on their site about the fee so I signed up thinking it was free. Two months later they are now asking me for £800.

I did not even read most of their emails that I received after the first one or two as they were not relevant to the kind of work I was seeking.

If it wasnt a scam why do they have so many disgruntled people complaining? Luckily people are winning when they go to court so the judge obviously agrees. Any normal trial ends with the company asking if you wish to proceed to sign up, QSL don't do this in the hope that the customer forgets what they supposedly signed up to & then gets stung for the full amount. Why would anyone pay such a ridiculous amount of money when the 'service' they provide is free of charge on many other websites?
12/5/11 •
Votes (0)
Well, I have never dealt with a company that insists you can only cancel via their website either. They don't accept cancellation in writing or emails, I find this very odd & another way for them to ensure they catch people out. I would never sign up to anything again via the web and would recommend that others don't. The examples you gave are for contracts that you sign up to and pay for straight away. This is for a 'free' trial that suddenly turns into a 12 month contract. I have signed up for free internet security trials before & have always been sent a reminder that the trial is due to expire and to ask whether I want to proceed with a 12 month contract. QSL don't do this obviously, otherwise they wouldn't have many customers!
12/6/11 •

Well, if a judge decided that their terms & conditions were unfair, that says it all to me to be honest. Believe me, I for one will never sign up for a supposed 'free trial', and I stand by my point that I can't see what they provide for the vast sum of money they charge. I still think that the fact that we didn't receive a copy of the terms & conditions at the time of signing up, is bad practice. This may have changed now, since they have had so many complaints.
Definitely a company to be avoided at all costs.

I will make sure there everywhere and cannot wait till they go bust scum bags. Any good comments are posted by themselves it’s easy to see this. They will lose, the site started out as rubbish they can only get lower thank god. Eventually they will change their name maybe , well we will be watching with enthusiasm, will drive these parasites to all ends and bring them down.

Totally agree, we are in court with them in March, however it goes, we are not paying either. I actually did cancel, but by email, then didn't check that email address for a long time, and got a bill through. I had a feeling this was the only way they made money, taking a copy of this site with me to court, hope no one on here minds? We need the equivelent of a class action against them. Don't know how to set that up, but hope some of you lots get together and get it done!! While we all do it seperately, it looks like it's a simple dispute, but if we all get together, it will be apparent just what kind of business they run!!!! Let's hope they go bust, I will not be paying them however it turns out, unfair business policy, and downright scam!!! CG

I was caught by these people but the terrier instinct cut in and although they threaten I took their world and shock it until they gave in, first stop OFT, then Leicestershire etrading standards in their own back yard then point out the case of FELTHOUSE & BINDLY which stated that you cannot enter a contract by NOT replying! You have to say that you want to participate.
Then the local newspaper Harborough Mail and find a reporter to take up the fight in this case it is on going but the more people who get in touch the better.
Then point out that they are not registered with the data protection agency and they are violating your human rights by storing data that shows when you were at your computer and the URL of whoever you were contacting.
You have to be prepared to carry out any thing that you promise and I sent them names and addresses together with telephone numbers.
It does take time but this is the letter I got from them this morning:-
“We stand by the facts previously stated to you. However, as you clearly do
not want our Service and have no intention of paying for the tender
information already provided we have decided to write off the outstanding
subscription fee. We would much rather focus our energies on the customers
who do want to use our Service.
We will issue a credit note to you shortly.

Phil - I'd suggest you write an actual review, just copying and pasting the info you've put here. So far there's only Martin's review and having yours would probably add more validity and compel people to avoid this kind of business.

Agree - Phil - you should write a review of it. I am so admiring of your persistence - we took the view that life is too short to spend days hearing their untruths (yes - emails they seemed to have 'lost'). Their invoicing scheme is a racket - and well done you for sticking it out.

They wont take anybody to court as they would be laughed out of it as there is no case to answer you cannot enter a contract by doing nothing
Eg if you don't tell me to stop you will owe me £1000 what a load of Tosh! these people are the scum of the earth and pray on the vulnerable. shooting them would be too quick
Phil anybody need some help with these Ba*****ds write to me.

I have just sent you a reply - not sure whether it worked though!

We have had an invoice from them for £695 with 30 days to pay. They have kindly attached a copy of the screen where we 'ticked' the box to say we accept the terms & conditions (which I understand other people have also been sent). We have no way of paying as are a very small start-up business, and I don't think we should pay anyway for a service we will not use. I did contact Consumer Direct & got a very wishy-washy response from them. Perhaps I could email you directly for further help?

***PLEASE READ***
Dear All,
Fairly soon I should be getting a court date - where I will be standing up for all the small businesses that have been duped by this amoral lot QSL Tenders.
I will be representing myself and I assume the judge will somehow be persuaded by their well versed T&C's to award in their favour. However I will take great pleasure in arguing all of our cases in court... and telling my story.
I would like to build some sort of petition / list of experiences by those unfortunate enough to have used their free service in good faith. Can I ask any of you who wish to, to email me at yebullen@gmail.com so I can build a contact list and even better request individual letters that I can give to the judge for bed-time reading... then package up and send the office of for fair trading / watchdog / uk somalian pirates etc.
That is yebullen@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance, honest, trustworthy and hard working people in difficult times.
QSL people, friends and apologists, feel free to email your futile bile if you wish. Just remember that you know what you are doing, what goes around comes around, and I really hope its worth it!
Matt.

Thanks for the tip on case reference Phil E. Will shall quote that in court, Felthouse and Bindly.
Just so sad that there are ppl out there signing up for their scam as we speak, wish I could stop it somehow!!!!
Scamdelous, outrageous company, who only make money by 'honey-trapping' unsuspecting 'customers' into buying 'leads' that could be found by reading the Times or Telegraph newpapers or similar. Multi-million pound deals that are of no use to small businesses, but very lucrative to QSHell!!!!
