They try to frighten you in so many different ways and they don't give up. They are nothing but scams and scavengers who feed on your hard working money without working for it. by the way I fought this dishonest company and did not give them even a penny. it did not even go to court, but I was ready to take them myself for harassing me.

I actually spoke to a pleasant man on the phone the other day, and he said he'd heard awful things about RTA, and I just explicitly agreed with him over the phone.JasonLeeminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07831578827334409838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-33405228433522962932011-11-29T11:17:56.569-08:002011-11-29T11:17:56.569-08:00So why should they be worried about him. i thought...So why should they be worried about him. i thought they would have more heart and stand upp to him, Thats what we pay for isnt it?..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-70778754643761211712011-09-30T04:21:08.094-07:002011-09-30T04:21:08.094-07:00R T A scam dont list your business with them they ...R T A scam dont list your business with them they are smooth as silk<br />but will fleese you (just put a add in pappers yourself) dont pay them 100s of £ for nowt or in some cases thousends ,they will take you to court,thats there specilaity ,they are just robbers,rob taylorhttp://marketmix.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-8007912148442496872011-08-03T10:20:23.534-07:002011-08-03T10:20:23.534-07:00i have been let down by rta,the canvasser that tim...i have been let down by rta,the canvasser that time john martin said the withdrawal fee is 5k and that is only payable if i come out of the agreement within 12 months..rta decided to take my property of the market when they couldnt sell the property which they had put it on the market for £990,000.When the property is only valued at 300 to 350k..Now rta are asking for withdrawel fee amount of 5k..which i have disputed..waiting for court hearingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-4940402112347352802011-07-12T05:38:22.830-07:002011-07-12T05:38:22.830-07:00Hi all

I have decided to pay the £1,000 and get away from them but have noticed that if I sell to anyone who was interested during the time I have been with them I would still have to pay them the commission.

I gave up after being lied to on a regular basis by Paul O'Reily and other contacts at the company. Nationwide Business sold it in less than a month, no fuss, no upfront, and no lies.

I decided to take my business off the market WHILST working for them due to no veiwings and they tried to sue ME!! When I parted company with RTA as an employee they went as far as to sue me for breach of contract and damages (apparently)in their usual decieptful backdoor manner they sued me behind my back, (totally in my abscence and without any knowledge of the hearing) by sending court papers to an address I didnt live at and never had! Then once they obtained the CCJ they wrote to me at my ex wifes address telling me of their success. They are (Paul O'reilly in particular ---- but not withstanding MR Ceri Edwards who's sole job in the company as far as I could see is to attend what seems like almost daily court hearings around the UK in attempts to obtain judgements on the withdrawal fees that reps are told not to disclose at time of writing the contract, and any other funds they can squeeze out of people) without doubt the most ruthless objectionable and devious comany in the business. Try asking how many businesses they have actually sold in the last few years from the 8000 listed? from what I was told by the sales team its equating to far less than 1% and getting worse as they cannot get the businesses finaces as the lenders are valuing the businesses far far lower than the sales reps are told to value them. This company lives on the upfront listing fees, the withdarwal fees and by extracting commisions that are not due by threatening people with court if they dont pay up. Most people do just to avoid the cost of the court action. My advice? DONT PAY!!! I have been (wrongly)accused in ranting letters from Mr O'reilly, (dated some 8+ months after leaving RTA) of contacting their clients and making false claims about the company<br />I have been threatened with allsorts. Bankruptcy, Libel suits of hundreds of thousands, all in letters to addresses I dont live at. This is their usual tactics. To scare you off. I now live outside the EU so they have no durisdiction here.A precedent has now been set by the courts who have at long last woken up to the fact that RTA has a history of doing this type of thing. I hope its the beginning of the end for themAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-87551585951154589372010-10-22T13:31:51.999-07:002010-10-22T13:31:51.999-07:00jenniferhau@hotmail.com

I have a ...jenniferhau@hotmail.com<br /><br />Dear sir/madam<br /><br />I have a very simplier case to yours determining a termination fee of £4995 which I sign the contract without any warning or aware when I asked before signing. They did not tell me there is a termination fee. Now they are demanding and sending me to court. I own a sandwich snack shop and the price is very high at the market comparing what my accountant told me. I am very scared and afraid as they threaten me to take to court. They have done nothing and produce no one at all to view and so I phone them to terminated the contract and they said just write in, if the contract is standard why did they not tell me there is a termination fee when I call. Before I sign I ask about the termination fee and they said there is no and it is easy to terminate. They said the contract is standard.<br />Who is Gill, Jane and Dawn will they be able to help me<br />as my case is still continuing and they are threaten to take me to court, please reply as I am desperate to know what to do and if I do go to court what shall I bring.

Saying that financially it is not viable to continue advertising my business as I did not pay upfront fee. They have had my business on the books for 14 months without any viewings. I have complained consistently and have been abused over the phone to the degree I got angry and put the phone down. I was threatened that I was in breach of contract by discussing to anyone including my close friends the shocking, aggressive, intimidating way way in which I was treated it is another long story even to somenone in the office changing the first contract without permission and that is when everything started getting nasty. I want to go to court, bust must win and sort these people out, <br /><br />Please Help, where do I start, they want their money in 28 days<br /><br />HELP<br /><br />YvetteUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345428210626506552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7620523878426125626.post-30071103044372959692010-04-14T03:07:06.792-07:002010-04-14T03:07:06.792-07:00Interesting to see that RTA have renamed their sit...Interesting to see that RTA have renamed their site rtabusinessesforsale.com.
