Stay well away from this scamming company that has no morals and constantly lies. Play games to try and get money from people who look at their view site.
They also breach GDPR regulations. I will be contacting the information commissioner's office about them. There is no debt and they pass on personal information to a third party without permission. So-called debt collectors

DO NOT GO NEAR THE SUBSCRIPTION
DO NOT GO NEAR THE SUBSCRIPTION
I naïvely signed up to the subscription, I only reviewed one document and never accessed anything else. They wrote demanding a payment for over £185, as I registered with my work address they have constantly sent letters to my work address as well as the main reception of my work place. They have transferred the money I owe to a debt agency before I even knew about the debt. The cost of living at the moment is a struggle and have debt on priority bills and this is not a priority over them, this behaviour shouldn't be allowed, even my priority bills have been more reasonable to deal with and sent less harassing letters. This really needs to be stopped from trading, customer service is disgraceful.

Hi Rebecca
I am sorry that the terms of the offer were misunderstood when you placed your order.
The order form that we provide for all our online orders is a small paragraph and 5 bullet points detailing the terms of the offer with empty fields that must be completed in order to enter into the trial. The tick box is to confirm that the terms of the order are read and understood before proceeding into the agreement.
Filling your details into the order form and clicking to confirm that you have read and understood the terms of the offer is not misleading. You had full access to our information and we sent the documents ordered. We also sent a number of emails throughout the trial informing you of features and reminding you that the trial was ending.
As we did not receive a cancellation request this then became a full subscription as advised on the order form.
Yours Sincerely
Agora Business Publications LLP

A BIG ZERO STAR FOR NO SERVICE…
A BIG ZERO STAR FOR NO SERVICE PROVIDED!! THEY ARE AMONG THE BIGGEST SCAMMERS. Please don’t visit the site, THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY UNSCRUPULOUS. Once they have any of your details they start billing you. I asked them to show me a signed contract I get an automated typed reply as below
I have reported them to FRAUD PROTECTION AND TRADING STANDARDS. I’ve also informed my lawyers. I have no intentions of paying their RANSOM DEMANDS!!
Seriously with all these negative reviews you would have thought they would change the way their work, Surprisingly not
I’ve posted on X and FB alerting people to the UNSCRUPULOUS WAYS!!
Also I have reported them to BBC watchdog. Strength comes in number, if you have been victims of this fraudulent company keep reporting them.
Also, note for the company if can send posted invoices why can’t you send a letter saying we are going to starting charging you, No!! That would be too easy for this FRAUDULENT COMPANY. Beware everyone do not even go on to their website!!!!

It is enough for you to pass through their website, and leave your details as requested for some free forms to be downloaded and then you get the invoice after a month. Where is the scam? Where is the catch? Simple, all the websites that have the intention to charge you will ask you for your card details, so you are aware that you will be charged at some point, no with these people, they would not ask you for your address, name, position and so on as otherways, no one will give his details to them. I have asked our solicitor and he said that are scammers who do not follow a standard policy, they have been reported to a trading standard and hopefully, legal action will be taken against them. DO NOT PAY ANYTHING, THEY MUST SERVE THE CASE TO THE TRIBUNAL FIRST, AND THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN AS THEY ARE FRAUDULENT AND HAVE NEVER MADE IT VERY CLEAR TO YOU THAT YOU HAD TO PAY AT SOME POINT AS REQUESTED BY LAW

Dreadful customer service
Dreadful customer service. Yet another bad review for Agora, seems to be a common theme for this company. I like others signed up for a months free trial for health & safety information. I realised the same day the publication was no use to me. Then I ended up with a £75 bill for a service that I didn't want. They claim to have emailed me to tell me that the months trial was coming to an end and I would be invoiced, but I can't find a record in my inbox or spam, just lots of marketing from them. I rang them and gave them the opportunity to credit me for the invoiced they declined. A company with this many poor reviews should be looking at their business model.

Hi Catherine
It is unfortunate that you felt the need to place your dissatisfaction on a review platform.
I can see from the email interaction between yourself and our Customer Service Team that you believed you had cancelled the 30 day free trial that you ordered within the free period. You also stated that you had been deleting the emails sent from us containing vital information regarding the trial. The first contact we received from you was two months after the trial ended. We have requested further information from you as to how and when the original cancellation was made so that we can back date the cancellation but we have not yet received this information. If you can provide this to us we will happily honour the original request.
Your Sincerely

This is a scam 0 stars
This is a scam. I have been invoiced and referred to a debt collection agency for a service I did not want or use.
I have spoken to trading standards and they have advised me and others in this situation to ask the debt collection agency for the signed agreement. They will not have one as we did not sign for this service. You then need to write a letter of complaint to the debt collector and request that the debt is written off, you can also refer it to the ombudsman if required.
I’d highly recommend reporting to trading standards if you find yourself in the same position as me.

Giving one star as no option to give a zero! Absolute scammers. Do not give them any of your details. Total rip off offering a free health and safety template - it is not free. Trading standards told me not to pay them anything. I haven't so far. AVOID.

Hi Alex,
The free download that you downloaded was a gift for ordering the 30 day free trial.
There is no small print. The terms of the offer are clearly stated at the top of the order form, in the email confirmation where you also found the free gift and multiple times throughout your trial.
It’s a shame that you did not read this information and cancel within the 30 day trial, because the outcome would have been much different.

Had a very bad experience with this company.
Advise all persons making enquiries to not complete any enquiry forms as this is taken as acceptance of services, which they charge and bill for even though nothing is used.
The onus is put on the persons making an online enquiry of the services provided, to cancel any enquiry or be billed.
In my opinion this is underhand tactics and should be banned.
Please be careful

The tick box is to confirm that the terms of the order are read and understood before proceeding into the agreement.

You had full access to our information and we sent the documents ordered. We also sent a number of emails throughout the trial informing you of features and reminding you that the trial was ending.
The service is an initial 30 day free trial that does need cancelling if not required following the free period. This is made very clear on the order form, in the email confirmation and within the several follow up emails send within the trial.
