Confidence tricksters?

AXA is a well-known insurance company and my Dad’s been having some troubles with them.
Dad is about to receive money from AXA for an investment policy he took with them which, according to who you believe, is up to £7k short of what he was promised back in 1974 and 1983 when the first, then second policy was taken out. He has been corresponding with them and their excuses are pretty pathetic as to why they have reduced the promised terminal bonuses from 20% down to 5% in the year his policies mature.
Fortunately in this age of free digital speech and amateur online publishing revolution, combatting them in their own marketplace is relatively easy. £1.99 bought me 1 year’s usage of axa-sucks.co.uk to sit alongside the likes of www.axa.co.uk et al and from which hopefully my Dad will be able to explain his story, stimulate other customers to come forward with their stories and gently influence the enormous corporation that is AXA that their policy of treating customers poorly might not be such a good thing.
At the very least we might help him feel better about it.
Let’s see if it works.
