I see other people are having problems with these people.

My iphone 4 8GB arrived to cash4phones on 29/8/13, had a good offer and got sucked in.

Testing failed on 29/8/13 due to excessive wear and tear!

Counter offer of £48.88 which I accepted,

Payment they say was processed on 2/9/13 but been constantly emailing them through their contact form

where first I was told it would take 5-7 days,

I chased them after 10 days with a response there was a technical issue and would get a payment in the next 5-7 days.

Still no payment

got another message saying I would be paid at the end of the week (2 weeks ago),

have now contacted them again by the form saying I have had enough and expect payment in my account or I will go further.

I see so many people have been having nightmares with this company and wondered if there was any help I could get please.

Hi and welcome to CAG. Sorry you were missed.

I would suggest you write a letter, posted by trackable means (signed for delivery) with a formal complaint. Demand the cash or a return of the phone.

Send to:

Some companies prey on the customers lack of knowledge when sending goods to them and the initial offer is good but suddenly the offer drops to a stupid amount but when you ask for the goods back, they make a 'slightly' higher offer then when you agree, they will sell the phone for a significantly higher price, boosting their profits at your expense. I am not saying C4P do this but it is rife in this 'recycling' industry. You just have to search 'cash 4 gold' discussions to see what I mean.

Hi Miller83

I am in exactly the same boat as you and would appreciate any help as you are going through the same they received my phone on 13th sept 2013, obviously i had 'moderate wear and tear' like everyone else it seems but i accepted the lower offer, and it was processed on 21st sept 2013 was told in the original email it would take 3-5 days but at busier times please allow 7-10 WORKING days which I waited the 10 WORKING days and contacted them, to which I had a reply saying I have to wait 14 working days. I waited the 14 Working days and emailed them again to which I got a reply saying they have had severe technical difficulties which have now been resolved in the accounts department and be assured my payment will be in my account 'shortly' this was on 10/10/13. I waited again and sent another inquiry asking where my payment was to which i got the same standard reply of technical problems this time with a telephone number that I was welcome to phone of 0845 460 1064 (mon to fri 9am - 6pm) this was received on 16/10/13. Yesterday (21/10/13)I firstly tried phoning to which I got no answer and after 10 mins I hung up and then again 20 mins today (22/10/13) still no answer. Yesterday I also sent another inquiry stating I did not want an email back saying my payment will be with me 'shortly' I wanted someone to phone me with regards to this, and they completely disregarded what I had said and i got the bog standard reply of basically my payment will be with me SHORTLY aaaagggghhhhh. at this point I googled it and came across the consumer website with a list as long as my arm of complaints about this company. So please any help you can give me will be much appreciated

regards

Hiya just to keep you updated I did send them a letter detailing everything and saying I will be taking legal action I had an email back saying my money would be transferred with 48 hours and it was

hope you have had success too

my daughter in same boat she has not been paid for her phone .trading standards have taken up her case and may even be involving police as obtaining goods by deception is fraud they have no intention of paying for these goods just a bunch of con men

I sent my iphone 3 months ago, they received it and sent me an email confirmation saying pending payment.

I have been emailing them many times within the past 2 months, they did not reply at all.

I only just found out about this cash4phone [problem], it looks like I am wasting my time trying to chase them for payment.

Their email confirmed pending payment of £130. I am in the same boot as you guys, whats best to do next?

I sent them my phone in september, and accepted the offer which was £45.76. They told me that they sent the money, after waiting a month i sent them an email saying that i didn't receive the money, and they replied saying to wait 7-14 days. i waited like 3 weeks and i sent them another email, which they didn't reply to, and now i can't even go on their website.

Some news.
