Unprofessional, rude and charge on cancelled accounts

Overcharged. Very poor service. They continue to try to take money from my account and send me invoices months after cancelling.
Their staff are incompetent and rude.

The below response is incorrect. I have received TWO invoices that were reversed with a credit only after multiple follow ups. Read all the other reviews here and on Google. They are all consistent and all have similar issues.

I did respond to their request to contact them from this review but have not had a direct response back from Lorraine. She clearly has time to respond in a public forum but not the courtesy to respond directly.

It is now clear the invitation to investigate it was only so they could post my private transaction details in their response below, so let's add "petty" to the list too.

Hi Rian,
I’m sorry you feel this way.
Regardless of the reason, I understand how frustrating it can be and apologise if we did not provide the level of service that you expect and deserve from Spaces.
I understand that you wanted to cancel your agreements within days of signing them. A signed agreement is a formal business commitment, and it should be ended online according to its notice period. Your centre team has explained the same to you.
We charge our customers as per the agreement they signed. Your mailbox plus agreements’ end date is 31 January 2024 and we have only charged you until then.
Please remember that you can check your agreement and review all your invoices at any time through your online account, available at myspacesworks.com.
Should you require further assistance in this matter, please respond to my team member who is in touch with you.
Thank you,
Lorraine Brule

The proposition is great but the reality not so

The proposition is great and the delivery lived up to expectations when we first contracted with Spaces 6 years ago, however the level of service deteriorated significantly over time.
The services were reduced without consultation, cleaning is sparse and the facilities tired.
The company has no understanding of customer supplier relationships and treats its customers with complete disregard. There is clearly a view that the customer doesn't matter.

Disappointing, Unprofessional and Childish

Here was the response I received from Spaceworks (who then complained that my response violated Trustpilot's rules - more evidence of their childishness and lack of professionalism) - certainly not what one would hope for from a "customer friendly" organization.

I for one, will not be back, as they clearly don't understand what it means to address customers' concerns professionally. Rather than doing so, they simply tell me why I'm wrong "the staff was very patient..." The staff was rude, unhelpful and unprofessional. I learned from the other place I went that my experience was not unique - perhaps the reason they were getting so many clients from Spaceworks.

FORTUNATELY, I did find another, far better, office environment nearby at Orega Marlow. It was somewhat more expensive, but the office environment was, in my view, far superior (insulated workspaces, no loud narrow hallways, free coffee, and friendly staff).
It was a pleasure working there. I would highly recommend them for anyone who seeks a more upscale working environment and more professional treatment.

Here is the, now carefully circumscribed (per their complaint) response from Spaceworks:

Hi James,

"The staff were very patient and certainly not “actively unhelpful”, they helped you change office when your occupancy increased but were unable to provide another card as the system will not allow it for security reasons."

My Response: Somehow, that was not the case last year, but just for my knowledge, which security reasons EXACTLY? When did the law change - or are these "security reasons" just a feeble attempt to make an even more feeble excuse for your staff's uncooperativeness and lack of professionalism?

Hi James,
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction but I’m surprised to see another complaint as your points were addressed in your initial one.
You booked a day office for 1 person on 21 August and were allocated a 1 person office. You were then joined by your assistant which exceeded the office occupation and you were relocated to a second office. Subsequently your wife also joined the group so another change of office was needed. They helped you move offices on multiple occasions and spent a considerable amount of time with you, putting your desires to explore the available office spaces above the needs of other customers. They were patient and explained several times that the offices actively being used by other customers were unavailable. To come onto such a public forum, criticising and accusing the local staff of doing a sub-par job is extremely unfair.
A member of my team has been in touch to answer any further questions.
Kind regards,
