Reliable Appliance Repair Anmeldelser 

The phone number 08007789104 & name Reliable Repairs is given by thieves possibly abroad who cold-call people in the UK to rob them, probably by setting up unneeded direct debits (I have had a call, Google search the number). The incoming call displayed as from 01697325809, probably faked. A key feature of these calls (I've had several) is an attempt to find the victim's true age (not "the fictitious date I've given the bank for security checks"), presumably to identify old people likely to be easily deceived. I don't know if the call is really from Reliable Repairs, a UK company that exists and might be legitimate or not. Ignore the 3 stars, I had to choose something.

Targets the old and vulnerable!

This company persuaded my elderly mother (almost blind and beginning to get forfgetful) to give bank details to cover an appliance - not even sure what! They've set up a DD for an extortionate amont. Will be taking further action if they don't cancel this after the phone call I am about to make!

TOTAL SCAM
Found a letter with a new DD set up for my dad's TV.
An 'OFFER' !! 5.99 every month!! How many of these are they doing. He doesn't need this cover and was duped by a very clever company of fraudsters!!! Preying on the elderly and those with dementia. SICKENS ME.

It's totally a fraud company,dey take your calls and even show you like dey are from original service centre,and after coming home and checking appliances dey even know wat the fault is,just buy taking a big amount of money,dey also assure u dat u can cal dem anytime n meanwhile wateva issue is never solved,even their technician make was not at all educated,even he made my fridge become like a heater,n after dat askin for my money complaining about my appliance when I askd him to pay the amount of money he was so rude.tecnicians name is aakash m his senior is Vijay singh,just beware of dis kind of frauds,dis person's even don't apologize for wat dey have done,simply son of a b#tch

UPDATE 16/08 - These guys have replied to my review saying it was not them and they do not ask for bank details over the phone. I spoke to them 2 days ago and they confirmed that they called my mother in law on 31/07, took bank details from her and set up a direct debit. Even though she is registered with TPS and has dementia. I’m going to spend as much time as I can trying to make sure these guys stop targeting vulnerable people and stealing from them.

ORIGINAL REVIEW

Convinced my mother in law to provide bank details over the phone. She has dementia and is registered with the Telephone Preference Service.

SCAM PLEASE AVOID

Just had a cold call I'm on TPS will be reporting to OFCOM

Called vulnerable mother and took bank details to set up dd for appliance insurance cover.
Called back and requested all details deleted. Bank notified.

Mother with dementia has fallen foul of this lot. Report cancel DD

Scammers who prey on the elderly and vulnerable. My mom had a Direct debit set up under the disguise of Sparta Telecom taking £175. So I got in touch with Sparta Telecom explaining mom is with other companies for all her phones, TV, WiFi etc. and does not need any cover, they replied back saying they take payments on behalf of Reliable Appliance Repairs!! This company has popped up before with my dad having succumbed to their chat. Sparta Telecom did however request a refund from Reliable Appliance Repairs and told them to take my mom off their list so will see if they do contact her again under a different disguise. 😡

Several calls from 'Reliable Repairs',stating they can reduce my payments if I give my bank details.Chap asked for my name,I refused & asked what name,address & item they were calling about,chap said he was trying to help save me money.
As I have no items covered by this company I challenged this & the call was ended by the chap.

Keep ringing and setting up DD on appliances my father doesn’t own. Apparently the cold caller did ask my dad if he was vulnerable. Avoid. Cancel DD. Report.

Definitely a SCAM to get bank details. I was called by 01643 800 234 saying they were from this company in Luton. I told them they were too far away from me to set up any repair contract. They still tried to find out my bank details and make of my tv (although I told them mine was over 25 years old!) and other appliances.

As seems to be a persistent thread in these reviews my elderly Mother-was targeted She ignored the first 3 calls when she answered on the 4th attempt the call was from PETER CHAPMAN WE HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SHE SIGNED TO AND NEITHER DOES SHE NO FOLLOW UP CALL NO PAPERWORK RECEIVED BUT VERY PROMPTLY DEBIT OF £175 TAKEN FROM HER ACCOUNT BY A FIRM CALLED SPARTA TELECOMS! It must have been very obvious to this man the person he was dealing with was elderly and vulnerable yet he carried on regardless and processed the payment! Find it difficult to put into words my contempt and disgust at this blatant targeting of elderly Says everything you need to know about this company that they have to stoop so low to make money This has been reported to bank as fraud but sadly doubt it will go any futher! Today I spoke to ANNIE at customer services she listened was sympathetic and courteous she promised to have the money refunded in full my mothers details deleted from database and no further calls I also asked that the complaint be passed to the sales team Hopefully this will all be done

Filthy rotten scammers!! Scumbags targeting the elderly and vulnerable setting up direct debits.

This biggest bunch of criminals out there! Targeting the very elderly by unsolicited phone calls and making out that the account has already been set up and then saying they will get a great discount for being such good customers. Complete lies!

Several cold 'scam' phone calls claiming to maintain my 'Tele', washing machine and refrigerator. Do not deal with these people.

Martin from Reliable appliances rang to get me to set up a maintenance repair contract on my TV. Wanted bank details to set it up, and only then could he send details of what it covered. Don't worry, theres a 3 week cooling off period. 0800 778 9104
Why hasn't trading standards stopped these cowboys

Sick of the phone calls from them asking for bank details NO WAY will I give them

Scam call made trying to get me to give my bank details so they can rob my bank account.
Do not touch with a bargepole

Continuous cold calls trying to get my bank details to insure a non existent washing machine.
