--------------------------------------- TRUSTPILOT WAILS Unicom, a telecoms and utility provider for small businesses, was fined £200,000 by Ofcom in 2015 for mis-selling telephone contracts to its customers and was described as "predatory" by John Healey MP in a Commons debate. After this ugly episode, the firms owner, Vitruvian Partners, changed its name from Unicom to Verastar.

Now Vitruvian has lined up investment bankers to take Verastar public. The float has previously been mooted two years ago, until Uniocom's dodgy sales tactics and debt-collection methods came to light. After unpleasant dealings with Unicom, several former customers set up a website unicom-complaints.co.uk to keep an eye on the company and its many offshoots, such as Kinex, Woav and Clear Business Telecom. Presumably complaints are thin on the line since Unicom was rapped on the knuckles by Ofcom?

Er, no. In the past month alone the eagle-eyed website team has spotted more than 50 complaints about Verastar's companies on various review sites.

Of these, 11 had been deleted for not complying with the sites rules. All those deleted reviews were on Trustpilot website...which also happens to be owned by Vitruvian!
