Hi,

I took out an ad with this company. they told me it would be £5 a week plus vat. so i thought that was a good deal and took it out.

The first installment was £156 (which i was told was a deposit).

A month later another £156 was taken out then the following month another £156. When i re read the contract it said they took out the first year and half second year installment.

So i accepted this although the rep didn't inform me of this. Now today i check my account and they took out a whooping £270 (how is that feasible???) luckily i didn't have enough money in my account.

So i sent them a nasty email, and if they continue i will take legal action. I've cancelled my direct debit. I've seen the ad and wasn't overly impressed. if they carry on i will bring them DOWN.

Anyone thought of setting up a facebook group about them. i've had so many problems with advertisers i will NEVER take out another one !!.

Avoid Limestone in Manchester like the plague. They have £250 for advertising I havent had done. For the Love of God don't sign anything, its a two year tie in and they charge for design even when you've done the artwork yourself.

The Cancellation of contracts made in the consumers home or place of work etc Regulations 2008 came into force in October 2008 and apply to contracts between consumers and suppliers of goods and services to consumers by traders who then visit.

Limestone Brochures that means you are the trader and I am a self employed sole trader and you came to my home.

Limestone Brochures, the law states that:

'It is a criminal offence not to supply your customer with a written notice of their rights to cancellation in an appropriate format'

Limestone Brochures, it also states:

'If you do not give your customer notice of right to cancellation, then the contract between you becomes unenforceable in law!'

:cry

Limestone Brochures pay back what you owe!

You cannot expect people to abide by your contracts if you wont abide by the same english laws you choose to refer to and hide behind when trying to enforce a contract.

That word hypocrites come to mind again?

The web site have asked me to provide an update on my situation with Limestone Brochures!

I can tell you that they still hold my 249.60 and are still ignoring my emails. When you consider the the ammount of calls i had to endure from them in the first instant, its quite clear that limestone brochures intend to blank me!

Legal advice is that small claims court is the way to go and i am looking into this as i write. I am sure limestone brochures think if they stick their heads in the sand it will all blow over?

All i would venture to say, is that anyone reading the articals about limestone brochures on this web site would should be 'ALARMED' by what has been happening.

I wish i had seen this web site sooner a little information in this case would have saved a lot of problems and i would have avoided limestone brochures like the plague!

Well limestone brochures! When do you think you might like to fullfill your obligations in this matter then.

You cold called me on a Telephone Preference Number, which is a breach of the telecom regulations!

You pestered me for weeks on end to take out advertising!

Your staff claimed to be phoning from one of my suppliers, which they have since refuted, and confirmed you did not! But that you were working on a project for them! There is a difference, the first is a complete lie!

Your salesman either did not know what he was saying to me in his sales pitch or he completely and deliberately mislead me about the flyer which after all was his pitch to me!

One of your staff told me he denied making the statement to me! Only days later, another of your customer service team told me he had accepted the conversation did take place about the flyer!

The same flyer you have refused to provide in the brochure you were producing as was the agreement!

Limestone brochures, there are too many acts of betrayal and mis-leading in what has happened from your end!

The right thing to do is to recognise you have mislead a potential customer however minor YOU may feel it was.

Thank god for web sites like this one!

My partner has a small business and these scammers have realy screwed her over. money out nothing they promised in.

There are several companies in the Limestone gang all owned by on person three of which have been named by previous posters.

Call some of the tesimonials on their website most of the links don't work and those I have called are in a similar position.

My partners ad was supposed to be going in a local mag - never happened. It's worth taking legal advice.

Hi Everyone. My small business has been stung for £500 and it has caused me a great deal of worry.

The contract is a nightmare and you're tied in forever if you don't cancel.

So far I've seen nothing of what they tell me is getting printed. Stitched up like a kipper.

I just got caught out by limestone in june 2012. They kept pestering me with calls and then turned up on my doorstep.

They promised me an add in a brochure, an E-brochure and a flyer (anyone advertising in the brochure was to get a mention on the flyer) only after they took 249.60 and did a little art work did it materialise that they were not doing a 'flyer' at all!

They kept pestering me with phone calls demmanding my contract be kept too! Now it aoppears that limestone wont even talk to me and have ignored all of my emails requesting a refund.

Essentially their sales people said one thing to get my card details and then the company actually would only deliver on the brochure and e-brochure!

Ongoing!

They have taken £834 from my bank account which was supposed to be £24 per month. instead lots of £180 were taken by variable direct debits. Unfortunately I also paid a large deposit which I still cannot get back. This was in FEB 2012 it is June and no sight of any brochure. They send you only your own artwork to proof not whole brochure so you do not realise that they have taken all your money and you have no way of finding other companies supposed to be in the brochure.

I spoke to a gentleman today from a hairdressing salon that had £1200 taken from his credit card when his agreement was for £300

Avoid at all costs, not professional at all.

My partner entered into a contract with them 3 years ago, spent 2 years trying to get out of it as the venue for where the brochures were supposed to displayed never did. This was despite many contacts with both limestone and them. limestone did not care and wouldn't release us from the contract quoting the rolling period term.

In the end cancelled the bank card they had the details for and told them that I would be happy to see them in court as I felt their contract was unfair and they were in breach of it anyway - Never heard from them again!!!!

Be wary of any company that wont set up a direct debit but wants card details to take payments monthly from as the only way to cancel this is by cancelling your card.

Be aware that Limestone contracts are ongoing unless cancelled within 30 days of the annual contract renewal date.

I had to pay another £600 because of this clause... If you signed on 18/08/2011 then you will be liable for the 3rd year (yes, 3rd year!) on 18/08/2012 unless you cancel before 18/07/2012... If you don't cancel then you will be liable for fees every year until you die!

Been let down badly by Limestone Brochures, based in Preston. Avoid this company at all costs.
