Hi Robert,
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction.
For security, the only people who have access to enter card details onto your online account are the admins for a company. There is no one other than you who has access to enter the card details and request the automated payment, so your claim that we used your Mastercard without your permission is inaccurate. You processed these details yourself on 19 July and this triggered an automated email to be sent which you can see in your online account by going to Account > Documents.
We partner with our customers to help them run and grow their business, but we also have a business to run and cannot cancel or downgrade agreements. We have offered to move you to an alternate office but you have declined. To come on to such a public forum stating we “lied” and are “greedy” just because we didn’t downgrade your agreement as you wanted is unfair.
Your centre team remain your key contacts here, please continue your discussions with them. Thank you.
Kind regards,
Michelle Spire

Hi Oliver, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
We are not a ‘Scam organization’; we work hard to ensure full transparency in everything we do.
Prior to the centre closure, we will notify our customers via email with options either to terminate or transfer the agreement to the nearest centre.
The remaining agreement will be auto transferred to the nearest centre if the customer did not confirm their preferred option.
We are pleased to know that your concern has since been resolved. It certainly did not deserve the words you’ve used.
If you need further assistance, you are welcome to contact your community team who will be happy to assist you with any queries.

I recently left a review of issues with this company, company replied blaming me and my bank company. The facts: I have asked for my contract to end ON THE COMPANY'S TERMS, I have asked to receive confirmation of my auto renewal cancelled, I have asked to cease to send me to collections as the online platform is deffective (its not my card issuer I have tried different cards including a city card) So far and after documented emails, video of the technical issues, NOTHING SOLVED. Any company within minutes of cancelling an auto renew and after requesting cancellation will comply. Not regus, weeks later no resolution to any of the above. I am saying I WANT TO CANCEL IMMEDIATELY ON THE COMPANYS'S TERMS tell me what you want i ll do ti. Nope forced to stay in contract, no confirmation of the autorenew cancelled. THESE ARE THE FACTS, you can blame me all you want I have proof in writing and video of all of it. It is even more dissappointing and speaks volumes of this company that publicly online they chose to blame the customer, a simple, we ll call you to solve it would have been more professional. Unfortunately at this point I do have to think its a scam As stated before I WILL GLADLY WRITE A REVIEW EVERYWHERE OF THE CONTRARY if the issues are resolved. However, because the facts are what they are and no resolution I will keep this up anywhere and everywhere. Until solved, period. The facts are the facts.

Hi Laura,
I understand that you’re disappointed and would like to help.
We have received great reviews about our online portal account which allows customers to easily manage their accounts with us on the go. Most of your card payments were unsuccessful because they were declined by your card issuer, not due to technical issues with our website; you can check this with your bank and through your online account, where the payment failure emails are stored (Documents section).
To rectify this matter, your centre team have advised you to make payment via other methods which you did, and it was successfully allocated to your account. However, we never received payment for the invoices billed under your new agreement, which then incurred a late payment fee, and your account was transferred to our debt collection team.
You have ended your initial month-to-month virtual office agreement online. Then, you signed a 12-month term agreement with a start date of 14 March 2023. A signed agreement is a formal business commitment.
It should be ended online according to its notice period to avoid automatic renewal.
We would like to confirm that your agreement will end on 31 March 2024.
Best regards,
Michelle Spire

I requested a Mutual Rescission and Early Release Agreement and was refused.
Regus are taking advantage and exploiting at a time when we all need support and understanding.
It is shocking that in a pandemic where worldwide governments are calling for relief on business rates for SME companies that Regus are looking to tie us in for another 12 month contract for a facility that we cannot, and do not want to, use.

MONEY HUNGRY COMPANY
- NO social responsibility
- TAKING monthly payments from small businesses owners who have had to close down business due to COVID
- NOT helping customers in time of need
- Rude, legalistic and non responsive
- STILL charging rents during the shut down
- Overcharges you on invlices
- DO NOT trust them with your credit card you won't have access to remove it (they keep charging it)
- They claim they support members, but it seems that they are only concerned about profits
- Any questions or complaints are met with the same bureaucratic automated responses

STAY AWAY - DO NOT SIGN UP WITH REGUS

One of the most unprecedented times in history and they have decided to take advantage of many small firms who are struggling to make ends meet.

Yet another HORRIBLE review. These guys are clearly thieves and although most, including me, don't see this stuff until it's too late and you've already worked with these disgusting people.

As for my situation. The fraudulent bills keep rolling in and although I have paid and have emails stating my account was paid in full and account closed they continue to try to collect. The most recent email includes invoices totaling over $700.

But you CAN do something about it. In fact, the more people that do take the 10 mins to do so, the better.

Step 1: Connect with the Federal Trade Commission and file a complaint. Here are the details and phone number in the link below. They will email you after and give you other options for letting people know how these people operate. It will make a difference.
https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/

Step 2: Get your most recent credit report. If they have reported you to the credit bureau they could be responsible for paying you! See below.

Step 3: If these lowlives have bullied you that is one thing. However, there are very strict rules on how a "supposed" debt collector can behave. If they have effected your credit you could be getting paid a few $1000 dollars. Connect with a lawyer and talk to them about your situation. It should be FREE. I am not an attorney but I am taking these steps and want to help others that are in similar situations. Google fraudulent debt collection. Call a few attorneys. I suggest 4-5 different ones. See if they can help you.

Step 3: Don't react or connect with Regus. Nobody there will help you. Nobody. So don't waste your time or get yourself frustrated. Just know that you have been taken advantage of and take the above steps to get yourself out of their fraudulent claws.

I feel so badly for all the people on here. I've read many of your stories and I feel just terrible about all of it. We are just hard working entrepreneurs trying to make our companies successful and these guys are taking advantage of hard working people. Gross.

If you need to connect with me you can. I will offer help and updates on my situation with them as well.

Hello Kira,
I can sense that you feel frustrated and we apologise if this has been caused by us. We work hard to ensure that our processes are simple and efficient at all times.
You've attached a screenshot of an email from your centre team which mentions that they have processed payment by phone just now for $328.70. This was your outstanding balance as of 31 March 2022.
The payment was attempted by your centre team as confirmed but it was not successful (you will need to check this with your bank). The next payment was for $235.85 on 4 April 2022 which was not the full amount as given to you.
From your review, I can see that you've mentioned that the "fraudulent bills keep rolling in" although you "have emails stating my account was paid in full and account closed they continue to try to collect". Your centre were correct in informing you that your agreement will end on 31 May 2022 but their confirmation that "no further invoices are projected to be billed" is based on that payment being successful. As it was not, there was still an outstanding balance from which you correctly received late fees.
Late fees are justified in the event that customers do not make payment for services when they are due. It is not unreasonable to expect customers to pay for services that we provide.
The final screenshot you've shared is only from this month which confirms that once the valid late fees are paid, your account will be closed; this is correct.
Please note that you have an outstanding balance of $27.95 still. You can confirm this and make payment through your online account (www.myregus.com).
We recognise that you feel misled by this circumstance but it's important to highlight that customers are responsible of ensuring their payments are made when due.
We’ve contacted you now and will be happy to clarify with you directly. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Best,

They are incompetent!
February 3, 2023

I recently signed up with Regus for a virtual address in December of 2022. I have had nothing but problem after problem! Nobody, including the office manager Anton knows what they are doing! All he does is apologize over and over and lie! They charged me for mail forwarding that I DID NOT HAVE for months! Once I brought it to his attention, the only thing he could do is credit my account to spend back with them eventhough I was canceling their services! He has a very nonchalant and snappy attitude even when he acknowledges THEY ARE IN THE WRONG! You have to watch this company like a hawk every billing because they will steal from you! I signed up for auto billing and they purposely didn't take their payments just so they can charge me a late fee! Once I found that out, I spoke to Anton AGAIN and he acknowledges that I indeed had autopay but he didn't know why they weren't taking the money! I had to pay a lump sum to get my account unblocked but never was refunded the late fees they charged me! This company is TRASH! DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT USE THEM!

Hi Parita, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
I’m sorry that you feel this way. Let me assure you that we are committed to the highest standards of integrity, openness and professionalism in all of our activities. If you have been given any inaccurate information I apologise. Whilst we’re confident no lies were told we will ensure the situation is properly investigated and if necessary, additional training provided to prevent it happening again.
For the convenience of our customers, we automatically set up a weekly mail forwarding service covering mail handling and envelopes at a small monthly fee.
You can of course collect your mail from the centre during business hours, if you prefer, or change the frequency in which we forward your mail (e.g., daily, monthly). As you informed the local team that you did not require this service shortly after starting with us it has now been credited back to your account and refunded back to your payment card.
Our invoices are payable no later than on the 15th day of the month. If payment is not received by the due date, we incur administration in managing your overdue account and, though we would like to avoid charging you for this, we will need to pass on a late fee to you.
We do understand that it can take time to set-up payments. You can save this time by arranging automated payments to avoid incurring late fees. Although you added a payment card to your online account in November it was not selected as your preferred payment method until January; a member of my team has contacted you directly to assist with this aspect of your review.
If there is anything further that I can help with, please feel free to contact me directly at lorraine.brule@regus.com.

I rarely ever write reviews but this place should not be used by anyone and go out of business. From day one theres hidden fees, then you have to pay a ridiculous amount just to move in (over 3k in NC) for a room thats smaller than a prison cell. The internet was a problem from day one and their tech support... or should I say lack of it; is a complete joke. I missed numerous meetings due to their faulty technology. They charge, thats right they charge for COFFEE a month and to top that, if you go over the allotted amount, you get charged again. That's right, they limit the amount of coffee you can get before they charge you again. Who does that? Forget moving out being the happiest day ever. I was hoping getting out of there i wouldn't have to deal with their bs but nope, I got charged a MONTH before moving out a restoration fee of 328 which I was NOT aware of because... WHO CHARGES A RESTORATION FEE WHILE THE PEOPLE STILL OCCUPY THE ROOM and they dont even know what needs to be restored? So now I acquire a $41 late charge but they wont give me the $1,900 they owe ME until they get their $41, are you fricken kidding me?!

The poor girls in the front get zero support from their management which is a joke in itself. So they have to deal with frustrated people then they get rated on the reviews the place gets even if it has NOTHING to do with them. It is the LEADERSHIP (if you can even call it that)

Hi Jay,
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had this experience.
We always ensure that any concerns have been clarified before an agreement is signed as we practice transparency in everything we do. The monthly charges you can see on your invoice are made up of an advance rent payment plus payment for services in arrears. Our invoices are payable no later than on the 15th day of the month. If paid late, your account will automatically incur a late fee. You can review invoices and payment dates on your statement of account, available in your online account.
We understand that your IT setup is key to your business, and we are sorry if the issues were not rectified for you immediately by our team.
We provide our restoration service for all customers to save time and money, along with the frustration of dealing with multiple outside vendors such as IT & phone technicians. When you moved into your office, we ensured it was all in working order and ready for use. This service is part of your agreement.
I’d love to further help you but you’ve posted anonymously, which stops me from being able to contact you.
Please can you email me at Michelle.Spire@regus.com with more details, such as your company name and/or account number? This information is available on your invoices.

I rarely, if ever, write reviews but the service we have received from Regus in the last 3 years has been horrendous! We have been clients for 12 years and paid our rent (for a double office suite) on time every single month, including paying rent for the last 12 months living out of state and where there is no Regus to honor the rest of our contract. Now that it has completed and THEY ARE PAST DUE owing us our retainer deposit (over $4,000), we've been told all we can do is "put a ticket in" to Regus online, no one locally can help us, we aren't allowed to get a phone number for a manager and we just keep getting emails that say, "we are currently experiencing a high volume of enquiries" It's going on 3 weeks and still no one has contacted us. THEY PURPOSELY ARE SET UP SO YOU CAN'T TALK TO BILLING.
Over the last 3 years of our agreement, we went weeks where we did not have internet service in our office but were still charged full rent which included internet services. We were told they weren't allowed to give us the manager's number but would let them know our concerns. When a manager did call WEEKS later and I voiced my frustration at no prior callbacks, I was told i "wasn't his top priority". As a business owner, I couldn't imagine saying that to one of my clients!

Hi Jennifer,
I’m very sorry to hear of your disappointment. Regardless of the reason, I understand how frustrating it can be, and apologize if we haven’t provided you with the level of service that you expect and deserve from Regus.
We fully understand the importance of receiving your refund promptly and have taken measures to make the process as smooth as possible for customers.
Requesting your refund is easy. You should log into your online account (i.e., www.regus.com), select Account > Billing and Payments > Retainer balances, where a specific section for the refund request is available.
We will then confirm your payment date and amount.
You should receive your refund within 30 days after your agreement end date. It’s an automated process. However, we will ask you to go through some security steps as part of our fraud-prevention policy.
Your community team is available to help you resolve any concerns. Should they not know how to assist you, they’re still to guide you toward a resolution team.
You also can contact our account helpdesk team by raising a query via the “Help” section of your online account. I’m not sure which email you’re referring to when mentioning a high volume of inquiries, but this doesn’t come from our account helpdesk, where we’re proud to respond to customers within 24 hours.
D love to help you further, but you’ve posted anonymously, which stops me from being able to contact you.
Please can you email me at michelle.spire@regus.com with more details, such as your company name and/or account number? This information is available on your invoices.

This company is a joke and totally has no regard for how to conduct business in a community within a civil society.
I called to rent an office and asked the person if the office was Google compliant and he assured me it was, so I signed up. About an hour later, after doing some checking I found it was, in fact, not Google compliant. So I called back to tell him I wanted to cancel because it wasn't Google compliant. He said he couldn't, but gave me to someone who could. This person said she couldn't but gave me to someone who could. That person sent me back to the second person. This went on for a couple of days until someone told me it couldn't be done. Such incompetence and such pettiness to not not do the right thing. It COULD be done, anything CAN be done, they just w
WOULDN'T do it, which is totally different than couldn't. And this is all over a $56 a month rental. Then they told me they have a $375 a month which is Google compliant that they could switch me to. So they admit they made a mistake but still refuse to budge. At that point, there was no way they were getting any business from me. They kept harassing me like their lives depended on this $56 that they only signed me to under false pretenses.
In the meantime I had filed a complaint with my bank and they returned my 2 months rent and eventually found me to be in the right, in this case and closed it out and blocked this petty company from being able to take the money from me on auto pay.
But this didn't stop the most petty company ever. They continued to harass me and now a collection agency, Caine & Weiner is harassing me.
This petty company could have had my business and my whole nationwide company's business, but now they get nothing. BEWARE AND STAY AWAY.

Initially I had one contract with Regus. I experienced the keeping of my retainer, doubled billed, and nonsense of getting that back. But, overall it was alright. So I expanded and made 2 contracts with Regus. Within 2 weeks of signing the contract, I got fraudulently charged yet again, and I learned that the sales rep who got me to sign, was a liar. He got relocated to another center, instead of being properly addressed and re-trained. He never apologized. The pandemic hit, and I have been paying for 5 months for office space I do not use to see any clients. I have canceled my personal lawncare service, my personal internet at home, and am even at a point where I am looking to sell my home. I am trying to save my business. You would think they would try to retain their client, especially one who has increased contracts with them. You would THINK they would consider the LONG TERM END GAME. Yet Regus refuses to work with me to terminate my contract early. They are literally forcing a situation where my savings are being drained, so that my business goes into bankruptcy. In such an event that they refuse to work with me, and I have to declare bankruptcy, I WILL NOT RETURN to Regus, and I will do everything in my power to make sure everyone online knows what Regus did. Regus has inhumane, unethical business practices. They are NOT for the small business owner. They are NOT for ethical, hardworking Americans. They are NOT for ethical, hardworking global citizens. They are NOT for anyone except themselves. They have no empathy, no considerations, no compassion, no care. The route they are going on, is their own road to destruction, and all those who work for them in collusion, are doing so to the detriment of their own character by stripping themselves of virtue. They are found wanting. I will be reporting this on every review site I can find, and to the Better Business bureau. And when I find a way to report this to the government, I will be reporting to the appropriate state and federal agencies.
