This company is a scam amazing how this company still trades but using with same patterns of taking money and not doing the work
Roma P.
They have taken 275£ from me and not provided any services. They done this on two different occasions. Companies House record show they are dissolved, and they are still charging people money. COMPANIES HOUSE 14457058 They are taking money away from people in uk. The documents were sent on a number of occasions to this company and Trustpilot. The issues were not addressed. I just want to know why this company ghosted me and took my money. If the company record shows they are dissolved. They shouldn't be trading under this brand, anyway, in any capacity. If they crossed reference the invoices, the services were not given. They said I needed a facebook page to do the marketing. But I have one. I did not deny access to my fb page. That is a lie. The reason I didn't pay the remaining 100£, because the fb campaign was never attempted in the first place. I did not deny access. This must be the most silliest reason I heard all day. Why would I pay that last 100£ then for a fb campaign to deny access. It makes no sense, of course I wanted a fb campaign, in an ongoing basis. I think the company is a rip off. If all is not possible above, why not just refund my 100£, which I paid for the last invoice. Because all they did for that invoice, was a Silly Poster or (fb Picture) for that last 100£. I think this is a rip off, and services denied, even though they charged me That Chris didn't get back to my messages for several weeks, or tell me what you stated now below. Even though I asked for an explanation for weeks now. If you can't provide the services for whatever reason. Just refund as simple as that. There is no defamation. I just want the service I paid for. Or a refund if no service. We live in 21st century Britain not anywhere else Hello This is last time, I will repeat myself. i did not deny access to my fb business page. You said, you didn't receive the correct access to my Facebook Page via Meta Business Manager. All you had to do is ask for it, is not rocket science. I don't recollect that it was an issue at the time. Please provide correspondences that i been asked and denied access to fb page. I was not informed about the access requirements and next steps. There is truly a misunderstanding between you and the staffs and your company. Staff namely Chris who stated that his father died on the day and was not able to work or get cover for him. After that I don't hear again There were no communication between Chris, Mark and me later on. I asked for a refund many many times. Nobody came back to me and explained the situation. Like, you have done now. I can show WhatsApp messages too . How many times I had to chase them for any explanation or maybe a refund You state you can share records privately with Trustpilot. To tell them, I was informed about access requirements and next steps. When i wasn't aware it was an issue at the time. Unless this is properly documented. I don't believe it took place. Now you might have the whole time to come back and forth. But unfortunately, I have a living to make, unlike others. This is the last correspondence you are getting from me. I am only going to communicate via Trustpilot. Regards

Dear Roma, Your review contains multiple inaccuracies and misleading statements which we feel obligated to publicly clarify — not just for you, but for anyone reading: 1. You paid us £275 across two separate invoices — and services were delivered in both cases. The first invoice covered a website and social media assets, which were completed and sent. The second invoice (£100) was for a Facebook advertising setup, including a custom-designed promotional creative (which you received), campaign planning, and setup work. The only reason the campaign didn’t go live is because we never received the correct access to your Facebook page via Meta Business Manager — a non-negotiable requirement to legally and technically run ads on your behalf. Having a Facebook page is not the same as giving us access to run ads on it. To claim “nothing was done” is objectively false. 2. You were not ghosted — and we have message records to prove it. We acknowledge some delays in responses, but communication was not cut off. You were informed clearly about the access requirements and next steps. We’d be happy to share message records privately with Trustpilot if needed. 3. Regarding Companies House No. 14457058 — That company was voluntarily dissolved due to internal restructuring. We are now operating under a new, fully registered and compliant UK business entity. Many businesses restructure or rename without any impact on clients or obligations. This does not invalidate our trading activity in any way. 4. On the refund request — You’re asking for a refund on the second invoice after work was already delivered (ad strategy + creative). Our terms clearly state that once planning and design work has commenced, that payment is non-refundable. You chose not to complete the process required to activate the campaign. That’s not the result of poor service — it’s the result of incomplete collaboration. To anyone reading this: We are a UK-based agency delivering verified services to real clients across multiple industries. We maintain full documentation, communicate professionally, and fulfil all paid work in good faith. While we respect all feedback, we do not accept false narratives or defamatory misrepresentations of our business. Sincerely, Upbound Studio

Hello, We take all feedback seriously, but after a thorough internal review, we have no record of ever working with you or providing any services under your name or details. To resolve this properly, we used Trustpilot’s official "Find Reviewer" tool to request your contact information and order reference, but you have not responded. Without this, we cannot verify your claim or even confirm that you are a legitimate customer. Your statement about "website and emails not being transferred" is puzzling. If we were never your provider and never hosted your domain or email, we cannot be responsible for any issues you're experiencing. If you did purchase services through another company or platform, we suggest checking directly with them. We ask that you kindly remove this review if it was posted in error or provide us with verifiable proof of your purchase so we can investigate properly. Posting unverified and potentially false accusations not only harms businesses unfairly, it also violates Trustpilot's terms of use. We reserve the right to escalate this matter if necessary. We remain fully transparent and are here to assist genuine clients, always. Sincerely, Upbound Studio

Michael is not a real person and their business has fake addresses and they are a Pakistani out fit that will cheat you out of your hard earned money. Never trust these liars they do not care and will keep pushing to raise there price and at the end you get nothing and they have fake reviews.

We were shocked to read your review, as your claims are entirely false and misleading. We have thoroughly reviewed our records and found no evidence of ever conducting business with you under this name or any associated details. Let us address your baseless allegations clearly: "Michael is not a real person": Michael is indeed a real team member of our company. His professionalism and dedication have earned the trust and respect of our genuine clients, as reflected in their verifiable feedback. "Fake addresses and Pakistani outfit": Our business operates from fully verified and registered addresses, adhering to all legal requirements. Associating a nationality with fraud is discriminatory and unwarranted. We proudly operate as a diverse and global team. "Raising prices and delivering nothing": All our clients receive detailed contracts and upfront pricing before any work begins. We have delivered high-quality results to numerous satisfied customers, as evidenced by genuine testimonials. "Fake reviews": All our reviews are from real clients who have experienced our services firsthand. We invite anyone to verify our work and reputation. Your defamatory remarks are not only untrue but seem intended to damage our credibility. We suspect this review may be either a case of mistaken identity or a deliberate attempt to harm our reputation. We urge you to provide verifiable evidence of your claims or remove this false review. If not, we reserve the right to escalate this matter for legal action to protect our business and the trust of our clients. Our commitment to transparency, professionalism, and client satisfaction remains unwavering. We invite anyone with doubts to directly contact us and judge our services based on facts, not baseless accusations.

Worst company ever still no refund or haven't moved forward with work they offered
claire W.
I used this company after the last company did a website and took the money and never went live. They promised me they would do everything as I wanted and would follow through on everything. I have been so disappointed with the service. They can never do an online meeting before 4pm and my work starts at 4pm so I can never make any progress. My site got hacked after I spent over 1000£ doing exactly what they told me to do the they said it was hacked because my web security was not good enough. I paid for a booking system but all of the work was down to me and the reading rot along them on was not to do all the donkey work myself. My site has so many mistakes grammatically and I still can’t use the site to advertise. They then promised me amazing results if I paid for SEO for three months. NOTHING. the site doesn’t even work so what’s the point. A total waste of time. Don’t use them.
