This is such a good company that they have got their very own e-petition running, that is certainly the sort of reputation that any good company would want. I suggest everyone that has been duped by them to go along and register on the e-petition for rewardsnow and hopefully between us we can stop this [problem] before it goes on for much longer.

 

This company rewardsnow are hitting the people at the bottom of the ladder, the sorts of people that find it hard to obtain credit and the people that are struggling to live and their credit score has become an important part of their life, it has even become a choice for some to obtain a credit report before they apy their bills and heating and food. Sign the petition against rewardsnow and lets stop this company

 

I have just found out that rewardsnow has an actual e-petition running, which can be found on the e-petitions site, you only need to search rewardsnow and you can register on the e-petition for this company

 

i am not sure if i am allowed to post the address on here but if not please can admin can remove

Done some more checking on creditscorematters and rewardsnow, they are all part of the same company that was highlighted in the Daily Mirror under the name high-street max, its part of the adaptive affinty group, this in turn is owned by Verture inc

 

" Adaptive Affinity is part of *American firm Vertrue Inc and in the States its reputation, is far from being a "legitimate business" - is of a firm awaiting sentence after being convicted of consumer fraud.

 

It was prosecuted by the attorney general of Iowa, Tom Miller, who accused Vertrue of "deceptive" tactics that "obscured" the fact that customers were signing up to a subscription service.

 

"Many customers don't look for a charge because they never provided a credit card number to purchase trial membership," he said.

 

"But Vertrue companies already have the credit card number from the 'partner' business that the consumer called in the first place."

 

Vertrue claims that just half a per cent of customers complain.

 

It can all be read on the site at the following link

Further to seeing all of the complaints against this Company. The MO has a distinct pattern and in my opinion apart from complaining to the trading standards I believe that there is sufficient MO to prove that this is OBTAINING PERCUNERY ADVANTAGE BY DECEPTION under the Theft Act. As such people should complain to the Police in sufficient numbers to cause an investigation and hopefully prosecution. I am a Retired Police Officer.
