Namesco shamed in moneysupermarket.com survey

Money website moneysupermarket.com took a close look at contracts from 14 leading broadband providers (I wouldn't describe Namesco as "leading" in this area, they are more of a fringe provider compared with the likes of Virgin, Sky etc...

The research uncovered "surreptitiously imposed additional charges" and highlighted which of the providers had "the least transparent contracts."

It should come as no suprise that one of the firms named and shamed was our old friend, the "award winning" Namesco (now controlled by Italian Web 2.0 and mobile phone group Dada) which charges £25 plus VAT for a failed or missed payment! Thats worse than the UK banks who were recently wrapped in a Court Case bought be the OFT.

It seems Namesco have a problem with Terms and Conditions, as they were severely wrapped several years ago by the OFT for Exclusion Clauses and Unfair Contract Terms. (since closed)
