J.D. Williams

JD Williams is a mail order and Internet company that operates under several different brands targeting slightly different demographics: Simply Be, Via La Diva, Shoe Tailor, JD Williams itself and probably about twenty more others. I have no idea why it's in the "offline" shopping category here on dooyoo as its Mail Order and Internet parts are completely integrated and I can't see why anybody would NOT use the the online ordering. All the websites have similar designs - a very busy and a rather shouty one that feels like some American shopping sites I occasionally look at - and you can log into all of them with the same customer number, although ...  Read the complete review

Last year I got a demand from a debt collection agency on behalf of JD williams who said I owed them £160. I wrote back saying I didn't, always paid straight away for anything I got. After six months of letters I wrote to ask if this matter was still outstanding. They couldn't tellme what the items were or when they were ordered. They said they no longer acted for JDW and I should contact them direct. I did, asking again for the details. They ignored my letter. Last week I got a demand from another collection agency. I have gone through it all again and wait to see what happens. This is a terrible company. I have bought from Ambrose Wilson for years and am disgusted at their behaviour in this. I could pay the money but why should I if I don't owe it?

Today I called up Simply be which is owned byJD Williams and another company I forget the name. I was told that (unbeknown to me) i was in arrears by £26.00 with J D WIlliams my credit with JD WILLIAMS & SIMPLY BE had been removed. I am not in arrears with SIMPLY BE. I had not recieved any letter or call from the comapny(s) nor had i recieved my invoices for the last month. The customer services dept know that I and many others in fact, prefer to pay my bill on line, but like an ass I have forgotten my password, they claim to have sent it to me in MAY ! I have not recieved it. Their attitude on the phone is rude and snippy, when I ...  Read the complete review

whatever you do, don't give your phone number to this company or else they will sell it on to insurance companies etc. etc. Despite telling them not to give my number to other organisations they still did so.
