This is our experience of the UK Yellow Guide, as it happened…
We were mid office move when we got the original letter in early December 2009. The application form has the standard Yellow Pages Walking Fingers logo top left and in the first few lines, states that it is a free listing, so signed and sent it back thinking it was yell.com.
A month later an invoice arrived and I immediatley knew that it was from a company other than the Yellow Pages. The logo on the invoice is now different to the trademarked Yell.com walking fingers, but similar and they are inoicing for 699 per year for two years for a Premium Listing in the UK Yellow Guide. Money is to be sent to a company registered in the Seychelles, Ucalegon Ltd.
One month later, a reminder appears, again asking for a wire to Ucalegon Ltd in the Seychelles. There is also a reference to legal action if the outstanding debt isnt repaid.
Any contact made through the contact us form on the UK Yellow Guide site is unanswered. There is no other contact information (email address, phone number, fax number, postal address) on the site.
Just over a month after the reminder, a letter from their debt collection agency appears. FeigenBaum & Stern have now added 40 fees and 7.66 interest.
Emails to both info@feigenbaum-stern.com and info@ukyellowguide.com are now answered with the warnings of legal action and a mark affecting credit ratings. Replies are sent through gmail accounts… theukyellowguide@gmail.com and feigenbaum.stern.ltd@gmail.com
