This is not the only reason for the suspension - the representations and the information contained in them have caused us to re-assess as to whether this page taken as a whole would likely in fact cause new Grumbletext site visitors to receive a highly unbalanced view of the possible merits or negatives associated with buying services from this company, which has been in business for 30 years. Whilst posts made by the posters on this page may well on the whole be bona fide, we have reason to be sceptical as to whether all posts have been posted by people who are properly unconnected with the trade and therefore who are 'proper' consumers. Coupled to the fact that the page appears very prominently in Google results, plus we are exposed to a legal action, we have therefore decided to suppress the page indefinitely and the page is now locked, disabling the ability to make new posts.
