I signed up with a large, telephone directory to promote my business but the ad never appeared. What can I do?

I signed an agreement for a business ad with a large, telephone directory to promote my fledgling, computer repair business of seven months, but after waiting another seven months for the ad to appear in their new directory, it never did. The ad was to appear in their hard copy directory to be distributed in one of their advertising districts (also where I work) , which included a number of "comfortable" cities in this large metropolitan. It was also to appear online in the internet. I wouldn't pay monthly fees for the ad but would rather pay the directory company a sum of about $20 for every qualified call. They also required me to initially put down down payment of about $170.. This is what they call their "pay per referral call" plan.





Well when the directory came out, my ad did not appear in either their directory or online in the Internet (only the free ad that I created initially). I called my assigned representative to this large phone directory company and he seemed surprised at what had happened, only to say that he would call me back later that day after he had investigated my account.





Well he never called and I am using this time to see if I can be compensated in any way for their blunder. Please realize that my business was not doing well, and although I was a little skeptical about entering this kind of agreement, I realized I had to take the risk and do it in order to save my business. The agreement was for two years as I believe this is the directory's life cycle. The start-up of the ad would have been an opportune time for me as my company is just getting in the red as far as not being able to pay my bills and basically earning a living (and going out of business).|||I experimented with all the usual ways to earn a living, online surveys, ad-sense, typing and loads of different ways as well as hoaxes. It wasnt until I made a decision to try http://bit.ly/profits-now that my fortune seriously changed. I now earn a good income at home, not large numbers yet Lol... however constant income monthly.|||First, most of these internet "directories" are a scam.





Second, be more proactive. They said they'd call you back - they didn't, so you're going to have to call them again.





If you have a signed contract for the ad, and they didn't publish it, either get them to refund the money to you, or take them to small claims court (you can file locally - they have to come to you.) You can include the money you spent filing the case ($30-50 usually) plus time you had to take off from work to show up in court in your settlement. No lawyers are involved - you show up, give your argument, the company gives their argument and the judge makes judgment. (it's like those TV judge shows - but without the hokey actors.) Oh, and the company doesn't show up, you win automatically...although if this is a scam outfit, you'll probably never see your money again - but you can turn the judgment over to a collections agency. You won't get nearly the full amount you asked for but you'll make the company's life more miserable.

Stop telephoning and start writing because telephone calls can be misconstrued or even denied. State the agreement that you had with them, I would presume that you have paperwork on this. Tell them that they are in breach of contract and you want compensation. They propably have a clause in their terms and conditions restricting the liability, but at the worst you will get your money back. Give a time limit of say seven working days and threaten to sue. They will soon contact you. When they do insist that they put everything in writing or you will get fobbed off again.|||I tried out all of the usual ways to earn a living, survey software, adsense, typing as well as loads of different ways and ripoffs.

Can I access a reverse telephone directory from the UK?

type that into google|||come on 0800 reverse )on the key pad)|||There is no complete reverse phone book for the UK. In the USA there are whitepages online that have a lot of information. You can normally trace a number back to an area by the dialling code, or try putting the number into Google and seeing what results you get.
