The Cost Group

Cost? Group"
Forgive me is the subject of this post has already been aired.
Over the past 18 months have been bombarded with calls fom the Cost Group (that's what the name sounds like). The callers area code is 01634. They start by asking me to confirm that I am in fact Mr Edmunds & then launch into the same speil, 'a short while ago you completed a survey'. I used to put the receiver straight down but on receipt of the last call I let them continue & stated that I could not remember recently completing a survey to which they replied it could have been up to three years ago! Three years ago recent!? Anyway I said 'continue' & they gave me a couple of my answers to the questions & obviously I had at some time completed the survey. Anyway I asked exactly why they were calling to which the stated they could offer me holidays at up to 65% saving on travel agents prices. Now 65% is some saving so I smell a rat. I asked them not to ring me again & to delete my details from their listings & guess what? They haven't called since. Famous last words?! Anyone else had calls from them?

In addition, a post on thisistravel.co.uk says that a presentation by Cost (Vacations) attended by the poster was for Cost Vacation Travel Services Limited. The Registered Office of this company is at Wensum Mount Business Centre, Hellesdon, Norwich.

Rather cheap-looking website at

Cost UK say that they " specialise in direct "face to face" promotion of products and services" and "have our own presentation centres in Ardingly, West Sussex and Little Chalfont in Buckinghamshire".



01634 is the code for Medway.

Seems to be selling Holiday Club memberships. Bad news.
