Don't sign with Regus. Go elsewhere

published

We have been dealing with Regus for a few months and are so angry with the level of service they provide.

[name removed] is a compulsive liar and thinks as a manager she can treat tenants with disrespect. She tries to charge people for items they don't use and for items that don't exist.

We have reported Regus to the police who are now investigating them for fraud and because she represents the company she is the one they are looking at.

PLEASE don't use this company.

Negative Vibe, Bad attitude and lot of miscommunication

published

When we came to Brisbane office, they were good and cooperative. Now, their attitude towards customers / maybe existing customers is non-cooperative. Every time I speak with them, I get negative vibe.

I am currently under contract (not for long), I don't think they will see me again. I am not sure, how can they fill their empty spaces in office with this negative vibe and uncooperative attitude.

Terrible accounting practices

published

Took us almost 6 months to have our bond and retainer returned, and only after threatening legal action. Staff in Melbourne are as pleasant and helpful as they can be, but ultimately have no authority. We were charged even after cancelling, and had to jump through numerous hoops, and follow up constantly and quite aggressively until we finally received our money back.
Also, read your initial contract carefully - we were slugged with a $1,000 "exit fee". Cleaners are expensive in Melbourne, it seems.
Would definitely NOT recommend after our experience.

Money hungry

published

The receptionist are nice people and the facility are good. That's it though! They don't allow reviews because of how terrible they are. They take your money and dont really care about anything else. They wont let you talk to anyone they won't help at all. I have never dealt with such a faceless money grubling company.

Do not use - They charge more than the signed contract terms and make no effort to fix despite admit

published

Signed up to a 12 month contract. Since then have received an invoice each month (which is direct debited) for a higher amount, which is considerably more. Despite repeated questioning and complaints raised - which have been acknowledged and apologised for, nothing has actually been done to fix the problem. Now going on six months.... During this time they have had constant high staff turnover meaning back to square one each time when raising the complaint. We would never use Regus again or ever recommend them.

Worst Company

published

The worst company I have experienced, didnt tell me that they had stopped collecting payments and stopped forwarding mail to me, resulted in a fine from Companies house and another companies vat returns being delayed.

Complained to them and they told me that they often have issues receiving post as there are 3 other addresses that post goes to, when i asked them why they then said that one of the companies was not registered even though i have an email to prove it from there team.

Waste of money and cannot deliver on the services that they charge for.

Never again

Where is my bond? Absolute thugs

published

Been waiting for my bond for weeks. All contractual obligations met, been ripped off late fees, rude and doggy staff. All they say when you follow up is we will do it ASAP. It usually takes up to 90 days. If you want peace of mind work from home. You will be better off overall.

Terrible customer service

published

Appalling service, constant errors with mail delivery and almost impossible to cancel the service. After 9 months of attempting to cancel this they are still pulling direct debits from my account, despite multiple times being told the service was cancelled and no further payment deductions would occur. Strongly advise against using them.

24 contracts...

published

Dumbest concept ever... They're only making money through tricking and deceiving less savvy customers.
Want a temporary, casual office space - they only promote 24 month contracts. This defeats the whole purpose of temporary/casual space - Another Large Corporate Organisation that doesn't "get" the market they are operating in...

Avoid Regus at any cost

published

Regus accounting team is detached from the rest of the organization. Therefore, the invoices come usually incorrect and you have to waste most of your time trying to find someone who can correct the invoice. Before you even know it, there is a chance they will block your account. Finally, don't expect to have your important documents forwarded to your address, they don't care much about that either.

March 28th 2018 Update: Impossible to correct a wrong invoice

The team confessed I was charged more than I should. Ironically, the system doesn't allow them to refund the money or compensate the client. I regret signing up with Regus, it's a nightmare, unless you want to keep fighting all your life. They owe me $3,000!

Be careful of contracts! They will try to make you pay forever

published

I signed a contract for 1 year. I notified them of not wanting to continue the contract before the end and received no answer. I did this again after the end of the year and still no answer. Eventually I called them after funds continued to come out of the bank and they said it's an automatic renewal. I need to go through hundreds of emails to try and find where I sent it to but do not sign this agreement as I think they will try this again and again. They refused to cancel the contract.

I will now have to cancel my credit card.

Hawthorn VIC OMG!! They will ruin you !!

6 week lease. No contract given. Charged 2 months??!! rental bond not yet returned. $54O to 'fix' an office I rarely used. Avoid !!!!

Watch out for unfair contract terms

published

Virtual office services are fine, but wait until you want to cancel...

You'll be auto-renewed 3 months before the end of your term, for another 6/12 months (depending on your contract), with no notice whatsoever, and no opportunity to cancel.

Unless you like being taken for a ride, avoid.

Hi Guys, thanks for the heads up, saves me a lot of heartache. Is this just here in Australia or are their Asian offices just as bad? We have a business partner in the Philippines (Davoa) that we asked to check out his local Regus.

Based on my research they are just as bad globally as they are in Australia.

I’ve felt very aggrieved about my situation with Regus so I’ve done a lot of research on the company. They have an awful reputation in just about any territory you can think of.

Stay away from them.

Their financial department is in Malasia I believe and they are a global company. Their staff cant even get traction with management. I feel this contributed to how hard it was to get anything done. Read the fine print and then decide. That room exit fee is just exhorbitant. I was only there 2 months and they still processed it. I reversed it from my credit card as I was under the impression it kicked in after 3 months. See how we go. Goodluck.

Hi all,

I am looking for shared office space and was considering Regus until I read all these reviews. Thanks so much to all for taking the time to write about it and warn the rest of us! Has anybody tried Genesis offices? They are smaller and have only one location opposite Museum station as far as I can see. Any other shared office recommendations at reasonable prices? We are considering Genesis and Wework Pyrmont at the moment. Any advice or recommendations would be most welcome and appreciated!

Cheers,

Peter

stay clear of at work spaces no matter what you do, do not go there! We are preparing a case against them to get our bond back, as they are illegally holding money. They charge you $3.50 for an email to say you have mail, or someone waiting at the front desk. No maintenance has been done since they took over the property. Management are not helpful. Stay away.

I am currently sharing an office in Wynyard right next to the station. Big desks, lots of space and not too noisy. The Company that leases the desks is Aurora Design.

Good luck!

Hi, we're very unhappy Regus customers, stuck with them because they're refusing let us get out.
Unaware of their bad service, we signed up for a year contract with them on an auto debit of fees. Now after the year, they're not letting us cancel, and keep automatically debiting money.
Would any users on this site know if there is a board or authority we can complain to, anyone who can help us.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

You could go to Fair Trading but if the agreement is B2B they probably won't be much help. Read the fine print of your contract - pretty sure they cannot force you to renew your lease, provided you gave the required amount of notice etc. If you didn't give the required amount of notice, you may be stuck. You may need to seek legal advice - they are an unscrupulous company and an expert will give better advice than you'll get here.

Contact their Area Manager. Craige Marquart. He helped me to terminate my account. If you're on Twitter, send a tweet about your problem and say you wish to contact Craige. To Regus Asia office. Their customer service will reply and you can contact them with details. All the best.

Regus over charged us by $5000 and kept deducting money from my account without my permission. The only way it stopped was by cancelling my credit card and getting a new one. The bank refunded my money within 1 week and are now chasing Regus for fraud. Highly recommend removing your banking dets from their clutches.
