Bellsouth - Bellsouth Advertising - The Real Yellow Pages My bellsouth rep assured me the ad I submitted would be in the 06 yellow pages. Instead I open the book to find a hideous ad that I had never seen and would have NEVER approved. ripoff Melbourne Florida

I would only have to change a few words in your complaint to exactly duplicate my complaint.

1st advertising run.
Wrong Phone # in actual ads
Wrong Phone # in white pages
Wrong Phone # on-line
Wrong Phone # in coupon (back of book)
IT WAS MY FAX #
Wrong categories, did't even get in right category at all.
It's a flooring store, we were in tires, titles, mortgages

The nightmare continues year after year, because people don't throw away those phonebooks.

Next year no advertising, we were still in wrong category.

My experience was disgusting and it went to collections. We had the salesperson on our side saying it was his mistake. That did not help.

We were told that we needed to speak to a regional sales manager. By the time we got to him, he said it was too late. I don't know if that was BS or not, but that's what and about as far as we got.

The company still owes that large advertising bill.

the yellow pages are notorious for this type of thing I know friends who operate a family oriented business who had their ad placed next to the strippers

i also have a friend who had her bank account frozen by the yellow pages - she had to declare bankruptcy

I had 2 other friends who each had the yellow pages teamed up with the phone company take away their phone number and not let them have a phone when they could not pay

get your legal ducks in a row

I think you could refuse and be in the right is if they showed you a proof, you signed off on the proof, and they put something entirely different in the book.

Or, they never showed a proof, said "trust us" so to speak, and put whatever in the book.

But if you saw a proof, signed a proof, and that's what was published-you got nothing.
