Scam Artists
Go to Mums Net and Money Saving Supermarket for genuine Reviews.
Scam Artists!! - all they are interested in is tying you into a credit agreement for 4 years. I even question the integrity of the positive reviews on this site. After all anyone can set up a fake email account.
In my last review I advised people to hire a private tutor £25 per hour and much better VFM. Bizarrely the next reviews were at length to state how flexible the exemplar package is (Bullshine). The child still has to dedicate the same hour(s) of time to it and when you talk to them they will tell you how important it is to have a routine, Come on it's one or the other routine or flexibility??
I like many others was duped into buying into this because it came via my grandsons school so obviously I believed they endorsed it. After doing some research I have found this not to be the case but the school get an admin fee for sending out the leaflets. So the school do not endorse this product and I will be challenging them regards this as people are being duped.
Received a recent communicate from exemplar laying out that I signed the contract and I am tied into a credit agreement blah blah blah. They are obviously panicking because they probably think I am going to cancel the Direct debit. I was stupid enough to get fooled by these con artists but I am aware of my responsibilities in regards signing contracts so I don't need telling by Exemplar. Unlike them I have morals and scruples and I honour my debts and agreements. Looking at some of the reviews from other sites I believe that they have already gone bust once and set up as a new company or at least some of them have, so please don't lecture me on honouring debts. I am not a rich person but comfortably off. I have made a mistake jumping into bed with these rogues and I will pay for that but I will do everything within my power to stop anyone else being hoodwinked.
Part of the letter states quote - "With regard to whether or not a school has endorsed and/or recommended what we have to offer, all would have been made clear in such respects in writing at the time"
Strange statement to put in a paragraph in the middle of a letter because until writing this current review I know I have never previously mentioned this ? So I take it by exemplar pre empting a situation that didn't previously exist they are admitting that it is not endorsed by schools and not conducive with the schools curriculum therefore not fit for purpose ?.
As previously stated I will do everything within my power to stop anyone else falling foul of these rogue jackanapes. I look forward to day that they are run out of business. I will be writing to my school. Putting a review on every possible website, Speaking with friends and other parents, seeing my M.P. and writing to the Board of Education (in regards to the unscrupulous actions of this company and their relationship to schools). In addition I will be contacting any Consumer Services that will listen or help and writing to BBC Watchdog to try and expose these Charlatans'.
In the meantime if you are thinking of investing in this rubbish then I suggest that you visit review sites such as Net mums and Money supermarket plus others for an honest and genuine review of this product. If I haven't put you off then I am sure they will.
