Whilst it is only my opinion and not a statement of fact, I would agree with you on this one Springer.

The web site is well enough done, and if you check out the "Members Directory" there seems to be literally hundreds of Courier/Haulage companies registered. However, a quick browse down this list and I can see a couple of companies which I know for sure would not pay to register on this site and quite a few more which I know for a fact are no longer trading  (some of which have not been trading for some years.).

In short, it looks like someone has created a nice website, created a vast "Members!" directory by copying results obtained from google and yell etc in the hope that an extremely cheap price of £25 per annum is low enough to tempt in the uninitiated.

As I stated earlier, this is not a statement of fact, merely my opinion.

I do Like to look of the bad payers thread on their forum though

No "cant name them for legal reasons" nonsense just put down their name, how much is owed and when it was due. it's how it should be and would make it soo much easier to check on someone before doing work for them.

what's the chance of something like this admin?

Not sure if that is a great idea because we all make mistakes, but how about if there is a court judgement?
or even a 'black list' for people 'removed' from the site for:
poaching customers,non payment or failing to keep to deadlines?

that way you know that the people you are working for or going a job to has reasonable chance of getting it right!
