    Ok so I had a subscription to officialwire.com for the last 4 months paid 140GBP and submitted 7 press releases. I promoted the press releases and was driving traffic to the releases, but decided to cancel the monthly subscription due to lack of use.

    Once I cancelled I realised all the releases I had paid for disappeared from their website! When I questioned it first time I got no reply, the second time I filed through their support and this is the response I got

    When I asked for where in there terms & conditions this was I got no reply!

    Why they would remove content from there site makes no sense to me.....

    DO NOT USE OFFICIALWIRE

    If it is a UK based company I would consider a Small Claims action. Have done so myself in the past and it is very easy (I would find it easy though having been a copper for 18 years before).

    If you feel that they have taken your money for a service and have now withdrawn that service you have paid for, and that they have breached a contract in doing so, then I would go for it.

    However, you will need to make sure you have read all the small print first.

    Good luck

    Yeah it's not in there terms and conditions but there is a mention when you go into the members area that says ... this shows once I had paid my money..... Not fussed about small claims just do not like their stupid system and want to warn others about it.

    ! Stupid me for expecting it to be in there terms & conditions ...
