TrustpilotRefund Please
Michael McAuley an electrician from Coatbridge was recommended to me from Bark.com. quoted £3,200 and charged for an electric rewire which was not done. He fitted 10x cheap sockets, 4x cheap light switches and pendants, replaced the fuse box with a 2nd hand one. He charged me the full amount even though they did not carry out the work quoted. How do I request a refund?

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience and fully understand your frustration. As a small-business owner, investing $676 into growing your business without securing a single paying client or seeing a tangible return is incredibly disheartening. We recognize the time, effort, and money you poured into following up with these leads, and we do not take that lightly.
While we are glad our team identified and returned credits for the suspicious lead you flagged, we completely understand that a credit adjustment alone does not make up for the financial impact or lost time. We know how crucial it is to connect with genuine, reachable clients who are ready to hire. Although we strive to maintain high verification standards across our platform, we recognize that unmonitored drop-offs or unhelpful inquiries undermine the trust you place in our service.
Regarding our policy, credit packages are generally nonrefundable once used to purchase lead contact details. However, we want to ensure that every single lead you pursued was reviewed fairly under our Credit Return Policy. If any other leads you contacted contained invalid phone numbers, bouncing emails, or inaccurate contact details, they should be eligible for credit returns to help you make the most of your investment.
If you have any further questions or would like to provide any additional information, please feel free to contact us at review@bark.com and our team will be happy to assist you further.

TrustpilotTraders avoid this site
I joined Bark in hope to get more clients as a newly started business. I had to pay £350 for the first batch of 'credits' with no clear indication on how long will these credits last. I should have checked the other 'business' reviews (also on Google Play) which repeat pretty much the same story - how the leads are expensive and often not genuine. Bark makes it too easy for service seekers, who are often just curious and not at all interested in hiring someone. Out of some 20+ contacts I paid the large sum above, only 5 lead to an actual interest and only 2 resulted in hiring (so far). It has to be noted that I am a sole trader mostly looking for smaller jobs. It might be worth for large contractors to widen their range but not for me, thanks.

TrustpilotBark doesn’t do a good enough job to verify seriously leads. Very finding a phone number is an adequate.
This service does an inadequate job of verifying leads. I’ve had numerous numerous experiences where I spent hundreds of dollars with purchasing the lead then it turns out the lead is either not looking for the service or they’re just perusing the Internet. It is the function of bark to verify that the leader is real and ready to do business not to just provide a phone number. These leads are expensive and it’s very disappointing of the return policy. I would recommend not using them at all.

GoogleIt has been over a year since I started to look for a place to call my own and with many disappointments throughout the last year, it finally happened! Thanks to Leanne Sandrone from CB Estates, who was very professional, honest, and responsive throughout the purchase of my house.
Thank you, Chris Buckle, for releasing the keys on the day of completion. I never run so quickly in my life, still, I was soaking wet by the time I reached home. I'll definitely use CB Estates again! Hopefully in 3-5 years as I save up big enough of the deposit for my first buy to rent a property. Yet now I cant wait to finish decorating my new home :D

GoogleI was attached to Leanne during my house searching process, and she was very helpful with all the queries that I had. It was definitely more complicated in terms of paperwork and signing of the contract just because I was an international student , but nevertheless these issues were solved easily and I managed to secure a room before the start of my university course.
When we were facing issues with the property, Leanne was also very helpful in getting these issues solved as quickly as possible.
Overall, no complains at all.

Dear Sarah,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are very sorry to hear that your experience looking for a Pilates class left you feeling frustrated and that you found the process counterintuitive to what you were looking for.
We completely understand your frustration regarding pricing. To clarify how our platform works, Bark is not a standard directory or listing site with fixed price tags; instead, we are a marketplace where independent instructors customize their rates based on your specific needs (such as private sessions, group classes, or skill level). Because of this, our system requests your basic contact details so that local professionals can view your specific goals and reach out to you directly with accurate, tailored quotes.
However, we completely respect your privacy and realize that you were simply looking for a quick, upfront overview of local options without committing your personal information.
If you would like us to remove your request and clear your contact information from our active system so you do not receive any further messages from local studios, please feel free to contact us at team@bark.com (mailto:team@bark.com) and our team will be happy to assist you further.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback, which helps us find ways to improve our user experience moving forward.
