They sent information and they had a web address which said they were a registered company. Their street address was not a PO Box so i thought they must be legit.

The deal was that I would pay 100 up front on 16th November and then they would contact the companies. I just had to sit back and wait and pay 100 each month.

As luck would have it I didn't have the money to pay them on 16th December. However, the phone calls from the companies hadn't stopped yet.

By 20th December I managed to establish that no company had had any correspondance from them. PDH said that this was normal - that it took a while.

I fail to see how they can fax a company on 23rd November and by 20th December not one but two companies have received nothing.

I contacted PDH and saidI wasnt happy. I said I was loathe to pay more as I'm worried that things aren't what I thought they would be. I offered the manager the chance to fax these companies freshly again. I had new numbers and people waiting at the end of the fax. I had done his work for him.

He agreed over the phone that he would fax these companies thereby proving his company as genuine and easing my mind. I agreed that as soon as my creditors confirmed they would be dealing with PDH then I would pay my next 100 installment.

Instead of all this happening, I received a text the next day - all in capitals - with my name spelt incorrectly - saying that they had suspended my account.

Suspicious much?

Then on Christmas Eve whilst I'm trying to glaze and stuff a chicken I had a woman on the phone from PDH threatening to stop all help from them unless I paid the 100. I explained it was Christmas Eve and i didn't want to think about it on this day.

It is now 30th December and having received more tests and emails claiming to show me proof - but not actually showing me anything - I have decided to discontinue dealing with this company.

They have refused to give me the initial 100 back. I am filing this report now and then I will tell them I have filed it. I hope it provokes the right response and they offer to refund.

Thank you for reading.
