I did a basic company search with Companies House.

The company Daxon UK Limited (Company Number 2649337) is shown as being in liquidation.

The company number under the address for Daxon on their web site belongs to Movitex (UK) Limited. The registered office for this company is the Daxon address.

A BT search for Movitex gave no result.

Sorry I can be of no more help.

A Whois of daxon.co.uk gives the registrant's address as follows:
Movitex (UK) Ltd
18 Canal Road
Bradford
West Yorkshire
BD99 4XB

A Google of "BD99 4XB" 01274 returns a few results which shows Redcats Brands Ltd at the same address.

Daxon is a Redcats brand.

The same phone number is quoted on those search results, which is 01274 729544
Maybe this is switchboard.

The results also show the general fax number to be 01274 843930. Someone's number is quoted as 01274 843924.

I've tried 01274 843 900 through to 999. Most don't answer, some are faxes. 966 has answerphone message on saying its someone in Redcats Personal Finance.

General information:

Having registered to receive email offers from Vertbaudet I have found that they ignore "unsubscribe" emails. Worse still their contact us page doesn't work - it insists on entry in a query-select field which doesn't work - so you have to use the 0844 number which is good for them (I didn't try it).

It says:
<<Call 0844 842 0000 - 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week... Calls cost up to 5p per minute with a connection charge of no more than 3.5p from all BT landlines. Mobiles and other providers' charges may vary. >>

They can well afford to take calls OK... But not from me!

First, are they allowed to ignore unsubscribe requests? As it's a UK-based company, surely the laws on spam come into play if they continue to send e-mail after you've requested they stop.

Also, are you using Firefox by chance? Their site is indeed broken so that it doesn't work on Firefox. Internet Exploder works with the form. I haven't tried other browsers, but you could try Opera or Safari/Konqueror if you don't use Windows.

When you do contact them, you should also report the error on their webpage. This is seemingly a shoddy company so you'd better take your business elsewhere.

Thanks.

I've removed this 01924 number and 01924 743667 which is also "temporarily out of order". La Redoute is a Redcats brand whose website gives its Bradford address, telephone number (01274 729544) and e-mail addresses La Redoute, Daxon and others. This telephone number was posted previously (see above).

Thanks for this. I have removed the 0800 027 0008 as it is now unobtainable.

The 0500 012345 identifies itself as being for Vertbaudet which is one of Redcats' other brands.

However, the verified numbers, 0500 777777 and 0500 777888 both answer as "La Redoute" with the same menu as is on its 0844 number. I have therefore decided not to list 0500 012345 as a number for La Redoute; it is listed in the database for Vertbaudet and has the same menu on as its 0844 number.

It's me again, still trying to find a normal geo number for me to contact La Redoute regarding an online order querie.

BT say the 0500 number costs 5p per minute during the day. I particularly want a standard geo number because I get free landline calls from my mobile.

I have tried this number a few times - 01274729544 but they just keep offering me an 0844 number.

I noticed you mentioned BT.. so it that a landline? If it is, as far as I was aware, and I am sure if I am wrong someone will correct me.. 0500 numbers and 0800 numbers are FREE from a BT Landline... Just thought that might help you..

Calls to 0500 numbers are free from landlines, just as 0800 and 0808 numbers are. The person you spoke to at BT was mistaken.
