£80 For A FENSA Certificate? Really?!

I really could name names on this one. But I fear that if I do, I'm going to start to receive threats, so I'm not going to.


However, what I will say is that those who work within the West Yorkshire area will know who this company is. This particular company has reportedly been telling their customers that a FENSA certificate will cost them £80!


We don't charge customers a single penny for their certificates and I'm sure many others of you don't. So why is it that this particular company thinks £80 per certificate is OK? 


Personally for a company to so openly charge for such a menial think I think is disgusting. Or am I just being a bit over sensitive to this? Am I in my own little bubble and does everyone charge for certificates?


What I would like to add at this point is that this information has come to me via various customers telling me pretty much the same thing. If only one customer had told me then I probably wouldn't have said anything. But when you start to get more than one telling you the same thing, then it's clear that there's something more substantial to the story.


If there are members of staff working for this company that read this, you know who you are. I ask that if you can, leave a response on here to justify why you carry out such a policy.


Things like this don't help to shirk off the sleazy image of the industry. I think the sector has been working hard over the last couple of years to show that it's transparent, professional and trustworthy (of sorts). So ridiculous money spinning ideas like this are only going to fight against that progress.
