Avoid Clements Agency

I paid 5.99 after the phone call with Clements. Then they asked me to pay almost 1000 for the outstanding balance or take it to court. I paid then and after 5 months and I did not hear from them further.

Avoid this company.

Avoid this company.
I like all the other businesses that was lured into paying the £5.99 introduction fee was threatened with court procedures if i did not pay the £995.00 fees they charge even though i did not sign any agreement/contract with them at all.
Today i have just received a General Form of Judgment or Order stating that the Claimant (Clements Agency) failed to pay the hearing fee for the trial date 8/12/23 and therefor the case has been struck out (thrown out).
I URGE anyone who deals with these scam artists to hold your ground and call their bluff.

This is a SCAM company!!!

This is a SCAM company and they charged me £5.99 and do not believe what they say over the phone as "No success no charges". They will try to take £9xx from your bank directly. My bank stopped the payment and keep on telling me to pay!!! They put me to court but they did not show up! Don't be threatened to pay anything to them! I will report the "Trade Standard" and hopefully this kind of company will be eliminated!

Sorted my rates and gave me a rent review with a great outcome.
Paid £900 for the service they just got on with it and I got a congratulations email and when I checked it has all been sorted even got a massive relief they they said I wasnt eligible for which really helped.
I would recommend them as they were a lot cheaper then the company I used before, don’t wanna name any names and they got a much better result
Really good.

Very happy with the work so far.

Very happy with the work so far.
Got reductions on 2 of my 5 shop.
They helped with every aspect of this including the signing up on the gov website.
They told me that I will get another reduction soon and the other 2 are a bit complicated. I don’t really care as the reduction they have got me has covered the fee and more so happy customer.
Paid £900 per property for some info

Soul Destroying

You may or may not eventually get a reduction in your rates.
We were lured into an agreement in an extremely unethical way. An upfront payment of £5.99 sounds like a no-brainer. The person on the phone luring you into this deal paints a very different picture to the written agreement that they send.

They didn't tell us about the written agreement tucked away in very small print at the end of an email. It was emailed to us whilst on the phone discussing the £5.99.

If you give your card details for payment, they might take, without asking, a lot more money a few weeks later. If you didn't give your card details, then they will send you an unexpected invoice and shortly after, County Court paperwork for not paying it.

Various correspondence comes from different people, some don't have "clements" in the email address. It's very hard to keep a thread going and a handle on the course of events that leads to County Court involvement that arrives by post.

Next, a man started calling. He has the gift of the gab with the apparent sole aim of intimidating you into a corner until you are scared not to pay them the large fee that they never told you about on the phone.

During such a call just now, I asked to speak to the person who initially phoned me about a rate reduction and to whom I said I would pay £5.99.The man said about his colleague that there was no point in me talking to him as the agent who signed me up is the lowest of the low and I might as well speak to the cleaner.

Clements Agency is a company, in my opinion, that has built it's model on making money via deceit and intimidation. Even though they eventually got us a rates reduction, it left me feeling exploited and exhausted.

great results....thanks clements!!

recently took over my fathers business and clements agency approached me regarding a reduction to my RV and business rates liability.

only had to pay a fixed fee as i was advised that i was not able to claim back further than april this year.

very happy with the service provided as they managed to not only get me a small reduction but was also able to get reliefs applied to my account.

THANK YOU CLEMENTS FOR THE GREAT WORK

THANK YOU CLEMENTS FOR THE WORK YOU DONE FOR ME IN REDUCING MY BUSINESS RATES. I WAS SCEPTICAL AT FIRST AS THEY ONLY ASKED FOR A SMALL DEPOSIT BUT WITH SUCH A LOW AMOUNT TO PAY I FELT I HAD NOTHING TO LOOSE.

HOWEVER WITHIN A FEW WEEKS THE BALANCE OF THE FEE WAS PROCESSED AND I HAD NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE MD HE ADVISED THAT I HAD A REDUCTION BUT I HAD TO REGISTER WITH THE GOVERNMENT TO CLAIM MY REDUCTION.

THEY HAD A LOVELY LADY WHO HELPED ME WITH THE REGISTRATION AND KINDLY GOT THE VOA TO SEND ME CONFIRMTION OF THE CASE THEY SUBMITTED. THE VOA ALLOACTED 3 MONTHS BUT CLEMENTS MANAGED TO OBTAIN A REDUCTION WITHING 4 WEEKS.

I AM NOW RATES FREE AND FEEL LIKE THIS IS ONE LESS FINANCIAL BURDEN TO WORRY ABOUT WHEN RUNNING MY BUSINESS ESPECIALLY IN THIS CURRENT COST OF LIVING.

THANKS AGAIN CLEMENTS AGENCY!!

Avoid these agency and read the reviews before you sign up

same experience as other one star reviews. They charge a small fee to make you committed and then start demanding money for the job that is not done.
The catch is in their initial phone call where they give you lots of promises and claim if there is no reduction in the report you will get a refund. What they don't say who does the report! the report is from themselves and not from the Valuation office agency. within two weeks you will get a court letter after a few harassing emails. We will have to see them in court then!
