Academic Editing

4/20/18

After 7 years of work, and research I submitted my dissertation to Papertrue for editing. $1600 for roughly 300 pages. After a week or so, I received a corrupt document. After trying to work with them (they are responsive which the only reason I gave a 2 rating), we discovered that some text had been lost and much of my work had been lost. I paid an additional $150 bucks to have my local computer guy try and salvage my document but in the end, I had to go back to an older version. At this point, with my deadline quickly approaching I tried to continue working with them, but to no avail they were completely out of their element in terms of being able to offer me quality service. In the end, my department and chair refused to accept any further efforts by this service and feared opening any document by them would corrupt their system. By the time, I threw in the towel with their inability, I was passed my deadline and needed to hired a local editor which costs me an additional $7500.
$7000 tuition and $500 in new editor fees. Now, Papertrue did admit to their faults and offered me a 25 percent discount, but they never honored it. They use PayPal as a payment method so between the two companies I got screwed. PayPal assured me that I didn't need to do anything and that they would guarantee me satisfaction. As per both their policies. PayPal paid Papertrue and told me that I would need to pay them. In the end, $1600 on a service they were incapable of giving and I never used costs me $9250. Reading the reviews others have left, leaves me to believe they may do well in helping with simple matters. Perhaps a short documents or even a shorter academic paper. But I would not trust them to do any significant work, especially doctoral dissertation, masters thesis, or even a book someone has spent considerable time and investment on.
I truly made a significant effort to try to work things out with them because they answer quickly and do sound professional in the manner they approach helping you or solving a problem. But in the end, good customer service and salesmanship did not equate to quality or even useable work and it cost me much more than money! BEWARE!

Hello Dr. Rafael,

It is disappointing to know that you were not satisfied with your PaperTrue experience. Our support team did the utmost with trying to resolve all your file delivery problems and our editing team did its best to give you quality editing while following the instructions given by you and meeting the deadlines originally promised to you.
While we do our best to give you the highest quality of editing, we cannot control corruption of files at the customer's end. All the files in our possession are maintained using standard software and are securely saved on our servers. This, in fact, has been the only case where we have received complaints of file corruption, which leads us to believe that the problem was not at our end.
As for the quality of the edits made to your document, we have internally reviewed the work done by our editors and have assessed it to be in line with the requirements you shared with us. Our editors have made about 5600 changes to your document which is a significantly high number for a 54000-word document. Also, our team revised your documents 3 times after the first edit was delivered, each time with a new list of requirements.
We understand that you are unhappy with the service, but I would like to assure you that providing our customers with the best possible quality of work and service is the mantra that we live by in PaperTrue and is evident by the numerous genuine positive reviews our team has on many review platforms.

Thank you for taking the time to review us and we wish you the best of luck in all your endeavors.

Regards,
The PaperTrue Team
