    DexYP has helped me over the years and I liked their service. I had them for the website and the website app. Their rep was very good at explaining everything. I had a very, very good experience at the beginning, and I just need to call them back so they can refresh my brain as to how to go back to check my messages.

    We’ve stayed with DexYP with whatever name they’ve had through the years and we would have our basic company ad in the book. They would call to renew and now, it's simple. They just send something to sign in the mail. They would tell you how the ad appears and the new price and if you agree, you don’t do anything, which is fine with me. It's hard to know what media source people use anymore or whether they go on the internet or just word-of-mouth but DexYP is reasonable so we’re going to continue to use it. Some people are still old school and they like to look it up and I do too sometimes.

    We have been part of Thryv for about a year, it's been a horrible experience!! They promise lots of stuff but never get anything set up. Once you pay them you will never hear from them again, sales rep disappears and you will never hear from him again.

    We've been with DexYP for at least a year and, so far, it's a good partnership and it's going great with them. Our company reached out to DexYP for marketing service, to try and get a larger audience to know us, see us, and know where to find us, based on the business that we're in. The experiences that I had with the reps were awesome and very positive. They went into great detail as to what their services were and what we were getting based on the cost that we were paying.

    Although we don't track new business, DexYP's services absolutely has value for our company. Clientele has picked up and we are definitely satisfied with their service. In fact, we renewed the service some time back. I would definitely recommend DexYP. I would tell friends or colleagues to look into purchasing services from DexYP. They don't have to purchase all the services of DexYP, but they should definitely get any services that would promote their business and help them in what they do, because that's the reason we use them.

    I have been advertising with the YP since 2009. I noticed late last year the book had been taken over by DEXYP. I didn't think much of it as my bill remained the same. Every single year since 2009 I have been contacted by an agent to make sure I was happy with my ad and if I wanted to make any changes for the following year. I realized the other day that I had not heard from my agent recently? So I checked my bill for January and to my shock and utter amazement they had decided to Auto renew me!!!

    The last time I renewed with the YP book I was very close to giving up, as I feel the book is used less and less each year and is expensive compared to the alternatives. I would never give permission to auto renew my advertising. I was NOT notified that this would be happening. I am appalled at this tactic. I contacted customer support and was told this is their policy. Well that's news to me!!! I will no longer be paying this bill. As I did not agree to this. I was threatened with collections. I told them that I will no longer be advertising with them and will let anyone know who cares to listen.

    A DexYP case manager came over to discuss account. She was very rude and could not explain "ALL the errors in their advertising". Company does not pull up no matter where I search! Plus he was listed as a basement remodeler, and is actually a basement waterproofer. Discussed this with case manager to no avail. I asked for phone number of her supervisor and she gave a toll free number. When I called that number from the business line, it said, "Sorry do not recognize this business!" Yet the business number is listed on the statement. The case manager said and I quote "You can call that number but chances are they will send you back to me".

    I tried logging in as the business owner and asked to have a link sent to reset the password. It would not let me because it said it doesn't recognize the business??? I told her we want to cancel immediately and she said,"You can't. You are under contract." I asked her to fax a copy of the contract as soon as possible. It has been well over two weeks and still haven't received it. It is costing $502.00 a month for nothing. Requesting a complete refund and canceled contract. Also they had my business as taking all kinds of credit cards and PayPal. Which in all my years have never taken credit of any type!

    Updated on 05/01/2018: This is the second complaint I am turning in on this company. Consumer affairs says it is waiting for my response. Well I have submitted it twice now to no avail! Tried emailing and comes back invalid. Today is April 30th and spoke to an executive from DexYP today. I requested a cancellation and was told I cannot cancel. They have falsely represented my company from the beginning. Had me listed as a basement remodeler, which my company has never done, also that we accept all credit cards, which we never have! She said it could be corrected, however when I asked her how that false information got there, she could not explain. Meanwhile I have paid $500.00 a month for nothing! $160.00 of it was listed as Racine internet, another thing she could not explain. So for all the money spent falsely, I want a cancellation! A representative came here over two months ago, also didn't help at all! ENOUGH!

    I thought that Dex Media bought out Verizon but what happened was they changed their name to DexYP. Because of the name change from November to February I wasn’t sure who was who and I got behind in the payments and I had different people contact me. I made the payments to the right place about two weeks ago. There was a local representative that I worked with and she said that I have a website and a web presence and then I have a listing in the phone book. She was supposed to hit all those other medias for me and I signed the contract to stay with Dex Media. The lady that I met with for two years now, at least is a good. She's a sharp little gal and she told me I was getting my money’s worth. Other than the name change I’ve been satisfied. I’m getting what I’m supposed to be getting on that contract.

    I have been advertising in the Coeur d' Alene, ID Frontier phone book through Dex YP for several years. A sales rep has always contacted me to check that we were happy with our advertising and give me the opportunity to receive a discount by paying for a full year in advance. This year, I did not get a call nor any communication that my ad would auto renew. The contract that everyone signs says that it can do that but that is not how communication has happened with my account. I do not want to renew as so few people have home phones that this particular phone book is becoming obsolete. Very few people use it. I have contacted Dex with no satisfaction. Totally no help. All they want is our money with nothing to show for it for us. We have had almost no response to our ad in their book. We advertise in another book and get very good results. I am very unhappy with Dex and would not recommend them to anyone.

    Original Review: March 27, 2018

    We started our new company in June 2017 and the owner began seeking the best marketing strategies for our business. The owner spoke multiple times to a YP Marketing Solutions Salesperson and was very impressed with what was proposed for rapid growth for our company. We couldn't start right away, but we had a budget and called the salesperson as soon as we felt we could handle the monthly costs of $640. We were very excited to embark on this new endeavor and set up automatic payments and was told that someone would contact us in 3 days to discuss our listing, web page and starting the marketing process.

    We did not hear from our salesperson or any other contact at YP for over 3 weeks. We called and our phone calls were not returned. On August 9th, we received an email saying "Congratulations, your advertising solutions program is now live and it came complete with a contract." We were happy to see that it had actually been worked on, but we were told that nothing would go "live" until we approved the information. After reviewing the listing and web page, we found that there were multiple mistakes and issues.

    They had advertised our competitor's name and contact information, not ours, the hours and several other things were incorrect. The next day, we received another email from another contact at YP about our Landing page and we were to review it and let them know if we approved. This page had the wrong company name (different from the go live listing), the wrong information as well and the links went to a company in another state with their contact information.

    It looked like they had cut and pasted the information from another account onto our page. We wrote an email expressing our displeasure with these results and our sales rep contacted us and assured us it hadn't gone live and gave reasons why we should not be upset with these turn of events.

    We had friends and family do searches and look for our listing (not using link provided by YP) and they found all of the same incorrect information online, as well. We called and discussed with our rep who told us that we were wrong, that it was not live and no one else could see the information. We argued this point, because we had multiple witnesses, but it was not addressed at all by YP.

    I have been a buyer for several large corporations for over 18 years and have had many conversations with suppliers that did not provide the product or services that they had promised. I always look for a solution/compromise that works for both parties. This was the first time that I have dealt with a salesperson that insisted that we were wrong and everything we claimed to have happened, was incorrect and ignored. They even denied the fact that we were dropped after the auto payments were set up and no one contacted us until this incomplete and inaccurate information was sent by email.

    The salesperson was very rude and condescending in our conversations and would say my name over and over interrupting me while I was speaking. We talked almost an hour with no compromise or even an agreement on the events that took place. It's hard to move forward and get the product you were promised, when you are told you already have it and that you are under contract and have to pay for it, even though it is not what you agreed to in the first place.

    We spoke to the salesperson's manager after this unproductive conversation and they canceled our marketing/website piece and said that we'd have to pay $198 for the listing (the go live piece) that was already in place. We were pleased that they did reduced the payment, but again we weren't sure if just this listing was going to benefit our company.

    We continued several months until the $640 that we had prepaid was used up and during this time, we were never contacted by YP to discuss our progress or results or set up our dashboard. We do not mind paying for a product that proves itself, but there were no benefits coming from this $198 listing each month. We have gotten 3 customer calls (no bookings) from the YP listing since it started in August 2017 (We called them in December to discuss).

    In October we were approached by another Marketing Solutions Company and they claimed the same thing as YP had from the beginning. The difference was, we got to try it on for a month for free and if we liked it, we could sign up with no binding contract. We could adjust the payments whenever we wanted and even stop the advertising for a time or cancel altogether, if needed. The salesperson walked us through setting up our dashboard (which YP never did, the SP just sent the link) and we can see all the activity and make any changes as needed. This was refreshing after our unfortunate experience with YP.

    In December, I called YP customer service to cancel our listing and was told that our salesperson or manager would contact us immediately. I let them know that I did not want to speak to our salesperson, because they did not have our best interest in mind and preferred to speak to a new manager with a fresh perspective. They said our manager would call me, because their guidelines were set up so that we had to work directly with our existing SP and manager. I agreed to speaking with the manager, but made it very clear I did not want to speak to our salesperson.

    I hung up the phone and 5 minutes later, our same salesperson called me and said his manager was out of the office. I explained that I wanted to talk to someone else and was told that it was impossible, that they handled our account and there was no one else that could help us. I explained why I wanted to cancel (told them about the reasons above and that we were getting no results from our listing) and was told the reason why we weren't getting results, was because we pulled our marketing strategy out and went with the $200 listing.

    In my original conversation with our salesperson about our webpage and how it was totally unacceptable because of the incorrect information, we communicated that we did not want YP to do our webpage and we that would do our own. I asked if we could link our own webpage to the YP listing and he apologized saying that it had to be a YP generated webpage to be on our ad.

    I thought this was strange (and the other company lets us use our own) but didn't feel that we had any recourse. So when the SP called to address us canceling our account and we expressed our displeasure with the results from the $200 listing, they immediately asked if we had a web page. We do, and the SP wanted to know the link, so they could list it on our page. When I replied that I had asked about using our own page in August and how he said it was not possible, the SP disputed ever saying that to me, over and over (basically saying I was lying) and was very rude. He also kept saying my name over and over, interrupting my thoughts and concerns just like before. Our webpage was never requested again or added to our listing.

    I asked why we were paying $198 for something that isn't producing results. It's less than the $600, but it's still a waste of money, if it doesn't work. I was told it didn't matter, that it was what we agreed upon after we canceled our original $640 marketing plan in our contract and there was no way to cancel it and they offered no other options or compromise.

    I've never been in this situation, where we can't talk to someone else in the company and there are no options available for needed changes. We feel stuck and very displeased that we are paying good money for nothing. We are not even close to getting any of the results or benefits that were promised in our original marketing contract with YP.

    I sent another email to the salesperson after the call and told him I wanted to speak to someone else other than them or their manager. I received an email back saying that he was my salesperson and there was no one else to speak with and we had a contract and that I needed to pay the past due amount ($499).

    We set up a new business account with another bank in October and transferred all funds. We have not given the new account information to YP, because we are not satisfied with what the first $640 paid for and wish to cancel our account.

    We would appreciate it if we could speak to someone else other than our current account team, so that we can figure out how to proceed. We would like to cancel, due to the breach of contract on YP's part and lack of communication. I saw this ConsumerAffairs site and it looked like there was a YP rep helping other dissatisfied customer so I am hoping to hear from someone other than my account rep soon. Thank you for this service.

They just have a lot of value-added programs that enable to go out and capture some extra clients for us through getting us out there and getting some reviews, and just kind of driving some business through our website.

    We’ve had two separate reps in the past five years. And they’ve changed because they’ve advanced in the company. And it’s a new rep every three months and they're just taking over an old list, and there’s just no consistency there. So, I’d rather have somebody who’s been in the position doing the job and been successful enough to stay with the company long enough to have a relationship with me. But other than that, it’s an affordable solution to get some much-needed business driven to your doorstep.

    I've been in contact with my "representative" and the three supervisors above him for 2 months now regarding a bill we received with an incorrect charge. We recently signed a new contract and have been charged above and beyond the contract rate each month since then. I've called numerous times each week for the past 8 weeks and not a single one of them will answer a phone or return a phone call and nothing has been done to remedy the issue. They skirt around the problem and the handful of times I have heard from someone, they tell me it is being "worked on" and that I should hear from them soon.

    They continue to provide excuse after excuse to explain why this process is taking so long and blame anyone and everyone they can so as not to admit fault themselves. "I'm sorry, but that is handled by a different department." OR "I'm sorry but someone else set this up, not me." Regardless of WHO is doing the work, the customer should be regularly updated. It should not take 2 months to correct a bill and it should not take over 25 phone calls and voicemails to reach someone. I've seen similar reviews about this company online and am very, very disappointed. Their customer service, if you can call it that, is deplorable. I highly recommend you find another company to work with as this one is TERRIBLE.

    Our company maintained an account with Dex for many years. We had a good rep. He left. Since then it was a revolving door. We were never contacted about our account, never contacted on time regarding renewals, etc. I requested a cancellation of our advertising in Sept., 2017. I was told I had an "automatic renewal" for Digital advertising (news to me!!!) and that the credit card charges could not be challenged or canceled by me, that only Dex could cancel the account. Six months and more phone calls than I can count, the contract is finally canceled. Interesting, they could charge the account automatically, but they had to manually request a refund. I would NEVER recommend advertising with this company. We kept the ad in the directory for company identification. We never received one inquiry, and there was zero benefit to any online digital advertising.

    If you want to throw your money away, and then not have the right to stop throwing it away, by all means, these are the folks for you. I asked repeatedly who their regulatory agency is. NO ONE KNOWS. I intend to look into it. In my view, they have charged our company without authorization, have been negligent in canceling the account in a timely manner, and they are inept and incompetent. In my view, their policies should be illegal and I intend to look into a formal complaint, if I can find out who has oversight capability.

    I advertised with YP 10+ years and did not have any issues in the past with their services. I will say that if you have a legit issue and you kept track of who and when you talked with your sales rep. I recommend you stay consistent and demand the lower managers escalate your issue to be investigated and reviewed. There are higher level managers that do care about you as a customer and will look into what or where the misunderstanding was if a floor level sales rep made a mistake or maybe the rep just plain didn't know about a company procedure when you talked them. The higher level management will professionally handle the situation appropriately, though you do have to stay persistent with insist that your issue be reviewed.

    A DexYP guy came in here and explained to me what they do. I signed up and they told me, "You won't have any more phone calls from Google Listing and those places that call." And then he showed me the website that they recreated and it was beautiful. However, we still get those calls three times a day among all the other calls that tell us our computer's broken. And, I don't like their customer service. For what I could afford in my budget, they just put little things in there every so many days. There was a girl that went on maternity leave but before she did, she showed me how to download textures but she didn't let me do it. She did it herself and she did it so fast. I'm not that savvy so the most I got was to add contacts from a contact list.

    In the fall, she downloaded really pretty pictures of a girl with long hair. And we were saying, fall in love with your color again. It was really nice and she did that for me. They would also run a certain "Did you know?" and put it on our web page, on Facebook. I love what they did on the website. They did what they said they would do and they worked with me. They were really thorough before they launch anything. She's like, "If you want that, it's $100 more a month." But I just can't do it right now. We have a lot of elderly women that come here and we do have some young people too. The shop's been here for 25 years and the website draws people in. For a while, we were getting messages on our facebook, people would ask questions and stuff and they would come right to buy a phone. We'd answer them but lately, I don't know what the problem is.

    I don't know if I'm going to renew. I wish I could keep up the web. I might consider just doing the website but I still don't know and I don't even know how to get in to it if I wanted to add up anything or change prices. I don't know how to do any of that stuff. The service is at $200 a month and that's a lot of money to me. I suggest that when you're showing somebody how to do stuff, don't do it for them, talk them through it. Hands-on is how I learn.

    DexYP was doing marketing stuff for us two years ago. And then, we wanted to change our website and we wound up going with them. There was a nine-month period in there where we didn’t have service because they were not following through on what they needed to do. And then finally, I talked to the right person and since then, it’s been great and they’ve done a really good job. That was when they were first starting to do the website for us. I would give them the changes or what was needed to be changed on what they had come up with. And I wouldn’t hear back for a couple few months. And then, I’d hear that person was no longer there and another person took it and that happened again.

    Right now, the service has been great. I would tell friends that they’re doing a great job, way better than other people that I’ve used.

    Updated review: March 11, 2018

    This issue has been resolved!

    Original Review: Feb. 26, 2018

    I've never advertised with YP, outside business they had with AT&T, supposedly. Yet, AT&T checked back to 2007. No billings from YP. In Oct 2017 I received a call from YP that my advertising account was delinquent. I called immediately thinking we'd straighten it out. No. Despite my many attempts I am now in collections for a $22.00 monthly fee I never agreed to. AT ALL, $120 total but it's the principle. They have actually been separated from AT&T for 2 years, not 3 months. Just paying has occurred to me but YP could just bill again. Anyone with this experience please feel free to reach out to me. I will revisit this site. Together we can fight this nonsense billing. I have asked for YP legal department phone number, that's where this is headed... could not get it! Unscrupulous in every sense.

    We're trying to market everything, get our website up and running, get to the top of those Google results, get the patients in and DexYP's reps have all been very nice and very helpful in whatever way they can. It's simple to get through to them and they answer immediately. They are good with getting back to you. For the most part, DexYP is doing what it's supposed to do. We all wish that we could have some crazy, amazing results where I'm getting 15 calls a day from them but I don't want to hold them up to that standard. So, I for what they do, I think they're doing a great job. They're a little pricey though. We get other people calling in and they offer things lower but I don't know 100% if they have other things that they're not telling us. But I don't want to leave DexYP because they are efficient in other aspects.

    I've been in the Yellow Pages forever and DexYP was switching over to doing some online work, and I wanted to be well-positioned online. I have my own web page, but they were helping to put it in the search engine and they'd pick it up better. There are different firms that are doing that, but I stuck with DexYP because I had been working with them before. So far, they've been good and they knew what they were doing. Everything has been working fairly well and I've been getting some referrals through them. I've been satisfied with DexYP and I'd recommend them.

    Dex Media is a scam! This business is full of liars and they will not let you out of contract no matter what they say. They will hound, stalk, and threaten you. They will destroy your business, if that's the only way they have to get you to fulfill the contract they refuse to let you out of. STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!! We were originally contacted over a year ago to sign up for a trial period of 10 days and if we were not satisfied within those 10 days we could cancel at any time, with no strings attached.

    We contacted them within the respected trial period that we wanted to cancel because the website they built was a joke, so as far as we knew we were free from doing any business with them. We have continued to get bills every month from them. We call, email, leave messages and nobody answers back. They have people who have no authority call and hound us and we explain we canceled within the trial time so we are not in contract. They refuse to listen. They have now sent lawyers after us and are trying to sue and have also threatened to go after any shareholders connected with our business, if we don't pay. These people are money hungry frauds and I'm committed to share the truth of how they do business on as many sites as I can. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM DEXYP AS YOU CAN!!! Check Better Business Bureau and Yelp before you even consider, you'll quickly change your mind if you were ever considering doing business with them.

    All my customer service interactions with DexYP are always really positive and friendly but I'm not very pleased with what my results have been on the website if this has anything to do with that. We're not being found under the headings that we've discussed with our keywords so that's why I was needing to call somebody. If I put "blinds" I'm not showing up for pages and pages and that's not good with as much money as we're paying every month. We should be towards the top, especially in a market the size that we have. But the people I've talked with have always been really good and positive, very thorough and very accommodating. I have never had any issues with that side of it.

    DexYP's customer service has been fine, so far. The first rep I got was completely unresponsive, so they replaced him with somebody else. The regional manager came in and spoke to me. I got a new rep and she seems to be good. DexYP is good. Everything seems to be where it should be. However, I canceled their print service three months ago and they were supposed to take the print service off my bill. Their rep said it might take a month or two because they pre-ordered the print. But now, it's February and I'm paying for it up until this point.

    DexYP was somewhat attached to the advertising that we had done through the phonebooks. Then, they kind of stepped in and took over for our online advertising and our website. One time, we sent over some information to be added to our website and the one rep who took it was assigned to another area but had not forwarded any of the information. So, it took longer to get it taken care of. But so far, when we reached out to them, we've been able to and any issues that we had were taken care of.

    We have an insurance restoration company and it's not a business that somebody goes looking for. So for the most part, we are niche business and our mainstay comes from our performance within the industry itself. But from time to time, we have homeowners or companies that look for us and Dex has done a fairly decent job maintaining our presence on certain websites and our online connections.

    DexYP was introduced to us when we went to renew our Yellow Pages. Then they did the development of our website. And when we need updates or we have issues we reach out to them and they're responsive. But sometimes I've reached out trying to get assistance to get things interfaced between the software that we use and Dex Media and responses have been slow. We generally get through it but it's not in the timeliest of manners. But overall DexYP's service worked out well for us and we're pleased.

    Going into business with them my intentions were to - purchase paid positions. Jason ** was my Marketing Consultant, he explained ad packages with me stating I will have a paid ad in - Yelp, Yellow Pages, Dexknows, and Superpages. With the Thryv.com package system included. So I purchased this package, the thryv.com system did not working. A month later we canceled this package system; and purchased another package system that was supposed to include "Paid ads!" for Yelp, Yellow Pages, Dexknows, and Superpages. After purchasing the second package Jason and then tells me, "Oh you won't have a paid app for yelp," and honestly that's why I purchase this package - So then I said, "Okay. What am I paying for?" He said paid ads in - Yellow Pages, Dexknows, and Superpages.

    Well here three months now my ads are still not showing up in their directories "Under paid ads" properly. I call them today because I received a bill and talked to some random - And she told me my package does not include paid ads. Omg. I have a Yext account that syncs my business information to all the directories. The ad showing up in their directories are from Yext. Dexknows sucks... Chicago stay away from these guys. They don't know what they're doing. Oh yeah they're Haters Beware. The only reason why I went into business with them was because they were advertising my business under an escort agency which my company is not an escort agency -> And I could not get them to sync my Yext account. They're Haters 100%. And they're not developers. Go with the --->Yext<---They are good for businesses. Dex sucks **!

    My dad started our business close to 40 years ago and back then, the only way to advertise was via Dex, but it was hard book. Then internet came up around and Sheryl, the sales rep at Dex, took me under her wing and she was amazing. She really liked me in every way and she took good care of me. At one time, three years ago, I had three different websites and I was paying a lot of money for them, but they weren't doing anything for me. For quite a while, Sheryl kept telling me it would be better for me to drop those websites and just have one, and let Dex take care of it. She was correct. The one website that I have now is so much better than the three websites that I had before.

    Also, DexYP gives their customers the Gold Campaign Manager and I can't speak highly enough about my Gold Campaign Manager, Janet. She's just a phone call away. I'm not a techie nor a computer person, but if I want to do something with my website, I just call her. I have a first class, topnotch web page and that's impressive for a guy who doesn't know how to turn a computer on. The services that Dex provides to me are the website, a little bit of SEO, and then I have the hard copies or Yellow Pages in Springs, Denver and Pueblo because I work in all three cities.

    On our first year with DexYP, Myra, the outside rep who gets paid a commission on getting me, did us up a little print and asked me what I thought of it. I told her the changes I wanted, which I also did in the proof that they sent me. I had to mail it back which made no sense in today's day and age when we have email and everything. But, I mailed it back and it never got done, so my print was in the three books and it was in within that for a year, and correct or not, I still wanted it to be done. So then the next year, we came up to renew and I told Myra that every part of it was a pretty awful experience. She then said that she would personally come by every five to six weeks to help me through. She gave me the print and asked me and my father to review it, and she would come by in the second week of January. I also told her that doing this mail by paper was silly because it must've gotten lost in the mail because she didn't get it last time

    Then on February 20th, she reached out to me and said that the last time she was in, we talked about the bill and she never heard nothing, and that the Dex representative was going to email and take care of all the stuff, but they were saying that they were going to cut my service off because I hadn't paid. I said, "You're right. When you were in here last time, I told you that I was two months behind because you told me they were doing the billing incorrectly. You told me that!" I also told her that I sent her an email, but it still hasn't got resolved. She apologized and promised to get this resolved and credited within the day and I would hear from her within the hour but, big shocker, it was not within the hour.

    I sent her four emails and my last email was to the DexYP rep, but I CC'd Myra in every one of these emails. So if she was that concerned, why didn't she respond to anything? So, I stopped from paying. I didn't owe them money and I didn't want to give them a single cent, but in the same breath, I was getting charged a late fee and a service charge and all I wanted to do was to go back and get the bills straight. I tried to get it resolved since October and I also reached out to them in December because I really wanted to get it paid before the end of the year. Then I had to reach out on January 30th about the bill again. But everybody always said that they didn't know every time. They finally got that straight after one year and they said, "Oh, my god. We're so sorry we did this, we did this, we did it." They gave us credit and said that they wanted our business and wanted to make sure that we were good.

    The only one who did their job was the representative from Dex and she was taken away from me. Now the service has gone done. I wanted to do about $980 on the first year and when it comes out, the cost comes down after a while. But, I was not using any of the services. They sent me a Thryv report that said how much we had done, but I had zero email. Then I reached out to a Dex rep and she said that they changed my email on my website. Then, it just changed one day and my father was getting all the emails on his personal email, but that was the email where he wanted the bill sent to.

    Also, since I've had Dex, I never had a Saturday and Sunday hours, but everything has gotten changed and it had us have hours on weekends. When I called to change these couple of times, this last rep from Dex was really nice. But she got a conference call so she gave me her contact information and said that he was going to send what I would and would not get out of Thryve. She sent my thing to have my password and all my stuff on it, and that was it. I still haven't heard from her.

    DexYP looked good on paper but our customer service experience was absolutely awful. We're a small family operated company. I signed up for digital and print two years ago and I was told it was going to be acted out in my allowance a month, but it never came to that. I've had print wrong since I've started with them. Now, the prints are getting ready to go out and into the books. If it doesn't get resolved, I'll have prints at all the yellow page books that are not what I wanted for two years in a row.

    I like the way DexYP presented themselves of what they were offering. And they got better over the years. From the beginning I was paying a lot more money than I should have with Verizon before it changed to Dex Media. But then I met with the new rep and he showed me everything that they were offering. I was impressed with everything. And everything was exactly as I was told so I didn’t feel like I was manipulated.

    We had their services for website, videos and then by the years the packages got different -- Facebook, Google and some more and more was added to their package which was great, and the price was very reasonable. More people checked the website and they had comments made. “Oh, yeah. We saw your website. We saw your menu.” I really enjoyed working with Stacy, the rep that I used, and the guy that comes over to talk to me, Scott. He always answered all my questions and returned every phone call. He guided me, looked over the website and changed it. I'm just happy.

    But for a period of time that I didn't have Scott I wasn’t pleased. What happened was a while back Dex Media put the wrong time and said that I was closed and I was just reimbursed for two months. We need free two months saying when the thing had been closed more. It was a bad situation because it put me down as closed. The restaurant has been closed for two months. I’ve always been resentful of that and it had nothing to do with my reps. He immediately jumped on it. He had gone through everything thoroughly with me. He came to my business. This is from way two years ago so I cannot blame him.

    And at that time I was assigned to somebody else, which I did over the phone. I said, “I’m not signing a contract with all these over the phone. I need a one on one, face to face.” So that’s when they reassigned Scott back to me and everything went smooth. But during that period of time I had some other guy who would reach for my phone calls. Little did I know that somebody else took over Scott's place. I would like somebody to call me because I’ve always been unhappy because of that incident. I never really got reimbursed properly.

    It wasn’t till I got Scott back where I could sit on a one on one. He stops by here and there even when he isn't supposed to just to say, “Look, I’m looking at your website. Looks really good. Did you take time to look at this good comments people have written?” That personal interaction makes me want to not leave Dex Media. Their attentiveness is important. Stuff like when I'm in the restaurant, all text keeps going through. "You’re all right this time?" Every time that I have dealt with Scott I would recommend him to the whole town. He took time to show me the details and the benefits of everything and that got me.

    So that meant a lot, because of that one person doing everything. The fact that he returns back to show me the proof that, “See. This is what we said that we were going to do and this is part of that package.” It really established the trust in the communication. And on top of that Stacy is excellent. She did not mind repeating things, checking up on me. Even when I forget to check up she calls me. She calls according to my business schedule. Like I leave my house at 10:00 AM. “Can you call me at 8:30 our time?” “Absolutely.” Sometimes she never said no. They took the time to point things out like, “You see, we made this change. Are you happy with this?” All that makes the person feel comfortable.

    We need some answers now and are not the only ones who have had this issue. On BBB.com there are over a thousand reviews of the same exact problem. They make you sign a 1 year contract for $3000, then charge you up to $600 a month when your contract says it's only $300 per month. They charge different amounts each month with no leads or phone calls for your business, advertising does not work but you are still charged for each "click". You are promised, in writing, that you can cancel only to find out that this is impossible and then you are locked in to auto-renew which you didn't agree to. They continue to bill you for years!

    DexYP has been the representative for our local yellow pages. Since they come with the yellow page ad, we could not get rid of them unless somebody else tried representing the yellow pages. We've had DexYP for about 12 years and we've followed them, even with the different name changes that they've had. They’ve changed names two or three times, but this has been seamless and hasn’t impacted us at all. I run the same ad with them year after year. The rates have gone up a little bit every year, but these have been reasonable and we've been happy with the results that we got.

    The phone book ad is all we need right now. We just do a low key, minimum cost website and we're not interested in anything special in the internet department.

    As a small family business owner since 2007 I have been old school in the way I ran our business to avoid problems and keep things simple. I was called by DexYP several times and asked to allow them to help bring me more business to update my way of advertising, promised to bring more clients at no hassle or contracts. After meeting with Hannah and her manager and offered more promises I decided to try out their services. What could be the harm I could cancel if not happy with services right? This company is a fraud!!!! After several weeks of not hearing from anyone, profile page with email I have no access to, one ad on Superpages for wrong service, incorrect address listed, website made for entirely wrong type of business I do and no call back after money was taken from my account.

    Finally contacting head office and sent to Hannah a campaign manager. I was told I had a contract no way out and blamed for not giving correct information. Not able to cancel. After many attempts I got an email of 21-day opt-out option from head office and was supposed to be able to qualify. Now I have a letter stating different. I have contacted 9 news and being a small business with no knowledge of new forms of advertisement, single mom willing to try new help to make money. I have been scammed and taken advantage of.

    I signed up with them in mid August 2017 and they launched the services on 9/22/2017 and at the time of contract I was given the option of 90 days opt-out with no penalty. A week or so before the expiration of my 90 days I emailed and called the customer relation to cancel, they kept charging my credit card and wouldn't honor their own salesman's opt out option. I had to stop the payment with credit card and I'm still going back and forth with them. My advice: STAY AWAY from DEXYP.

    We've used DexYP for 20 plus years, through six or eight of their name changes, because they've had the paper phonebook, which we used since it gave just our general phone number and company name. We've always had the ad and DexYP was one of the companies that has owned the advertising media format. I've dealt with the reps once or twice, such as when the sales rep was looking if we wanted extra coverage. The reps were fine and answered questions.

    We're set in using the advertising for a certain format and we're willing to pay only a certain amount, and we haven't made any changes for a decade. It's the format that we buy, so that the ad is in the white pages and in written form. We've been getting two to three decent calls a year for leads, so we've kept the service. It has been a steady form of leads annually, so we'll still use whoever ends up owning it next.

    DexYP salesperson Joan ** sold me a BAD online ad campaign 12 month contract. For 6 months, I paid with no results. I then called and asked to cancel. The sales people freaked when I did this. They offered me one free month, and begged me to resign up with a new 12 month program called a CLICKS program. The new program required a new 12 month Contract, which extended my time paying DexYP to a total of 18 months. Which wasn't what I wanted. She promised I could OPT OUT after 6 months. But now, months after resigning, their billing is insisting I need to pay all the way to the END. Joan ** isn't returning my calls now. And Billing says only she can give the approval to OPT OUT. At the same time, I've been in the slow season, and can't afford this anymore. DexYP has completely ignored me for months now.

    I've repeatedly asked them to cancel, pay less per month until the busy season returns, or allow me to buy my way out of the contract. BILLING tells me, if I don't pay them, I will be sent to their own collections agency for the full contract amount. I feel manipulated and exploited by DexYP. Also, there is a new issue: FAKE INQUIRiES to my business and lots of them. Since working with DexYP, I've received many random client inquiries, often with similar verbiage, none responding back after I write them. DexYP really hurt me. I've been thinking about closing my business just to get them off my domain. Which is really sad. They don't tell me at all what my ad campaigns look like or where the money is being allocated.
