TO ALL TRADESPEOPLE - DON'T JOIN, THEY TALKED IS INTO TAKING A MONTHLY PLAN, WHICH TURNS OUT WE CAN'T CANCEL, THEY WON'T CANCEL AND THEY ARE HAPPY TO TAKE FUNDS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T USE THEM ANY MORE. DON'T DO IT!
Do not use this site. Makes it more expensive for the tradesman and the customer. They get the money regardless its a good job or bad. Avoid like a plague
We thought this site would be a good way of getting new buisness. How wrong were we. Con merchants.
Do not use, unless you want them to steal your hard earned money.
Anybody can puit a job on with no intention of doing it, and the cost is burdened by tradesmen for every idiot under the sun. Plus the prices quoted are totally ridiculous
No local leads
Obviously not in the interest of the tradesmen to travel so far hence outlandishly high quotes, that's when they can be bothered to send one
Leads to expensive and customers waste of time and effort i was a member one day email from rated people that i do not fit their criteria. Over Fifty 5 stars ratings no answers from rated people

Websites such as Rated People are supposed to be raising the standard of how tradespeople interact & trade with consumers. Unfortunately out of 4 tradespeople that we have used via Rated People, only 1 has produced work to a decent standard. As a person who works in a trade, I have noticed that Rated People & other similar websites have successfully contributed to lowering the standard of tradespeople in the UK by providing a platform for unscrupulous and below-par people to advertise their below-standard services in exchange for paying for the privilege.
Rated People and other similar websites need to urgently review who they allow to trade on their websites. Unsuspecting consumers, like myself, are placing trust in these websites that they will receive good service from vetted tradespeople. The reality is definitely not the case and Rated People need face up to their original brief to raise standards otherwise consumers are no better off by simply playing 'Russian roulette' with a copy of the Yellow Pages!
The tradesman they recommended caused me a final bill of £416 to put the work right.
A so called plumber who was a complete cowboy. I wanted to show no stars for the review.
Despite repeated request for receipt I was refused one, I was forced to pay up for uncompleted work I found numerous faults after they had left, now I've discoverd litres of water under kitchen sink overspiling unto recently laid vinyl tiles, evidently faulty plumbing, I dont know where the water is coming from, now added expense to call a plumber out My mobile no *******9644
I cancelled my payments to this company after growing tired of fake leads, they chased me for £20 owed on the account sold the debt on to a debt collecting agency who increased the debt to £160 and are still harassing be for the money. 6 months later rated people illegally took £76 out of my bank account, I tried calling their customer service line and was met with message after message saying that their services were down, I then tried from a friends phone and their services miraculously worked from his line so after taking payment from my account have blocked me from being able to call them. After speaking with a woman about this matter she starting telling me it sounded like I was underwater my signal must be bad even though I could hear her clearly I told her not to hang up the phone on me and eventually she could hear me ok even though I didn't move. She then told me that it's another department that deals with payments and they weren't open until 10am and gave me a number (which charges for calls) I asked her to get them to call me and she said that was fine but doesn't know when they would call, I'm still waiting on the call and luckily my bank refunded the payments.
Avoid this company this is not the first issue I have heard

Had work done by one of their 'rated' people a few months ago and have now had to have the work re-done by another plumber. REPORTED MAXIM LATHAM TO RATED PEOPLE FOR APPALLING WORKMANSHIP, which led to the flat downstairs from us being flooded. RATED PEOPLE REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

They are scam artists. Fake leads and they refuse to refund your account. At most they will give you credit... so you can but more fake leads! Dont bother if you are a trades person.
The worst customer service, very very misleading when they try to sele a package to you and speak to you in a very threatening manner. I advise all traders to stay well way
They will take money and they will not give you any opportunities to cancel. Do not use it or is dangerous company we lost a lot of money because of them and a lot of stress they gave to our family
Atrocious customer service don't do it to yourself it is just embarrassing to even call yourself a company more like scammers. Advice anyone to go to bark.com
Answer: I know this doesnt answer your question but the very same thing happened to me on Friday 11. 09. 15. Same thing, I had been a member for almost two years and had nothing but almost 200 positive reviews. I think have spent just over £3000 to date. They dont give you a reason and when you call them they have the information but just wont give you anything. I cant imagine what I could have possibly done to have my account access revoked like this. It makes me feel like a criminal, but the most annoying thing is that they just wont tell me why. I have emailed them this morning but Im not expecting a reply. I too am going to do a SAR which will cost up to £10. It would be interesting to know who else this has happened to and what trade they belong to. I am a Heating Engineer. Ive been led to beleive that Rated People have done this to certain trades(plumbers I think) before when they have awarded a contract to a big company who then takes all that work. If this has happened to you as well then please leave your details and what trade you belong to. This just doesnt make any sense it bizarre.
Answer: I know right!
Answer: Rated people are in business with Experian and Experian are passing peoples credit reports on to rated people, and if your credit history isn't very good then rated people kick you off their site, illegal if you ask me, they need investigating and prosecuting
Answer: I have replied to jobs and they have never rang me back some of them false phone numbers some of them cost me £25
