  This company has several names and locations. We are billed from the REAL Yellow Pages. They present over the phone that they are the Yellow pages and are free. They tell anyone answering the phone to OK it for 12 months. (Then they sneak in charges and make it 18 months contract). We are a marina. When I finally found the "app" they have, the picture was not our ******* it looked like a downtown marina. Most of the information was not correct. Our sister ******* right next door had a location listed 28 miles away! If a customer clicked on directions it took them 28 miles east of here! They must look up businesses, guess at what they do, call and misrepresent, make up an add with no valid information or pictures and trick companies into an 18 month "contract" We tried last year to get out. They got someone on the phone to unknowingly say OK, then snuck in another 18 months! We want out, want our account zeroed out and never to hear from these people again.

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address our clients concerns.    We had the privilege of speaking with ****** which the following concerns were broken down.   

  1)This company has several names and locations. We are billed from the REAL Yellow Pages. They present over the phone that they are the Yellow Pages and are free.  'Thryv has been in business for over 100 years, offering paid services to bring in leads and provide management software.   Our products and services are listed on **************************, with the prices.   The only item free is an intro digital product, which our client has on their account.   They canceled all paid digital programs in 8/2024.  There arent any indications our client was advised the services are free, nor does their agreement.'  

  2) They tell anyone answering the phone to OK it for 12 months. (Then they sneak in charges and make it 18 months contract).   'a) The same person has signed their agreements over the last 3 renewals.   b) The last 2 renewals have been for 18 mths, which is mentioned on the agreement. Please see the attachment.   c) Our sales team advised the client didnt want to meet in person, nor via a Zoom meeting to discuss the current agreement renewal.   They advised there wasnt any changes and to email them the agreement for signing.'

  3) We are a marina. When I finally found the "app"they have, the picture was not our ******* it looked like a downtown marina.Most of the information was not correct.   'When we spoke with our client regarding the ****** listing, they didnt want to discuss the issues.   ****** advised  to suppress the listing, which we did per her request.'

  4) Our sister ******, right next door had a location listed 28 miles away! If a customer clicked on directions it took them 28 miles east of here! They must look up businesses, guess at what they do, call and misrepresent, make up an add with no valid information or pictures and trick companies into an 18 month "contract"    'a) Map: We advised our client that the map and directions are controlled by a 3rd party company.   Thryv doesnt have any control over the supplied information.   b) Ad Info and agreement length.   As mentioned about our client has signed the last 2 agreements, which indicated the length.   Also, our client advised us not to make any changes during the current agreement renewal process.'  

  5) We tried last year to get out. They got someone on the phone to unknowingly say OK, then snuck in another 18 months!  'a) The only request on file was to cancel the current digital program, which was completed in 8/2024.  This would have been to late as the directory in question published in March 2024.  b)  The person who authorized the current program is the same person who approved 2 prior renewals. They advised our sales team to send over the renewal agreement and keep the same program, which was done.'

  6) We want out, want our account zeroed out, and never want to hear from these people again.   'Our client has been advised that the digital advertisement was canceled in 8/2024, and their 9/2025 print renewal has been marked to cancel.  

  Lastly, our client has been advised that their records are in order to be invoiced until the phone directory ends on 8/31/2025.'  Thank you!

  I am rejecting this response because:   The person agreeing over the phone assumed it was the free yellow pages one line listing.  We were never given a proof of what was actually put in this 'Real' Yellow Pages App.  It was very hard to find.  Everyone Googles directions these days.  We would never knowingly spend $300 a month on a hard to locate inaccurate advertisement.  Come to find out we were also listed as a yacht broker, which we are not.  We do not sell or service boats at our ****** as stated in the add.  We strictly rent storage slips. We should have had better intercompany communication to find this years earlier.  Considering how much money we have already given to this company over the years for nothing, I do not think it unreasonable to have the ads removed and our account zeroed out and closed.  Sincerely, ****** ******, Business Manager, Home ***********, ***********, **

  Thank you for the opportunity to review the account. ********************** has never contracted with businesses to maintain a free online listing.Complementary listings are either created by a business/user or provided to us by 3rd parties. That said, we have provided copies of multiple contracts where the agreement was made via signature, not over the phone. For the record, the last paid online listing provided by Thryv was cancelled in August 2024.
  
  Our records, which span multiple years, contain no disputes or concerns regarding the content of the print program or online listing. That said, with each signed contract, if changes were needed, the business could have supplied those changes to us. We understand that ****** ****** was not a party to the contract signing and may not have been involved in those conversations.
  
  As per the attached contracts, the $300 a month rate is $212.75 and is for phone book advertising. This is evident in the invoice charges listed in the latest invoice.
  
  It is Thryvs position that the contracts and account history clearly indicate the agreements were made in good faith and fulfilled.We understand ****** ****** is concerned with a digital listing however the paid listing was cancelled in August 2024. The cost, at that time was $39/month. The bulk of the advertising costs are associated with the print directory which is $212.75 per month. Lastly, we are unable to make changes if the previous contract signers never alert us to the necessary changes. Despite these facts, we reached out to ****** and offered a goodwill settlement but it was denied. Our offer has been noted on the account and will be honored should she call in to accept it at a later date.  Thank you

  I am rejecting this response because:   It seems we will have to agree to disagree.  Stating there was a signed contract and not 'orally authorizing services' is not true.  When I first called some time ago I was told it was agreed to over the phone!.  They state we were responsible to make changes if most of the information was incorrect.  I feel we should have been given an ad to approve.  It took me so long to even locate this ad.  We were listed under yacht sales on some obscure yellow pages spin off.  I was going to attach a copy of our yellow pages add, but I can't even find it again.  We are not in yacht sales and don't have a service department.  We rent slips for boat storage.  Again the picture looks to be a downtown waterway somewhere, certainly not the Gulf Coast of ******* and a boat of unknown origin.  Looks like just a stock boat in water in city download picture. Definitely not a picture of our Marina.  Their response was to remove the ads with all the incorrect information and then charge us for 6-8 more months of nothing.  I hope my concerns will remain on the BBB site so others can see some of the issues they may have should they do business with the "REAL' Yellow Pages Thryv.

  Thank you

  I got my August statement for ************************* in the mail on 8/9/24. It stated I had 10 business days to cancel my account. I called them at ************ on 8/12/24 at 4:51 pm to cancel my account. I spoke with an agent who tried to get me to reconsider. I declined and wanted my account cancelled. He agreed and said I would get one more bill for the last month of service and then my account would be closed. I continued to get monthly bills, so I reached out again in November 2024 to question why I was getting bills. I was told that they had no record of me ever cancelling my account. Even though they say every call is recorded, they had no records of my call. I even provided phone records from **** showing my call on 8/12/24 that lasted 4 minutes. I attempted to reach them by phone, email, and even mailed a letter in December 2024. I spoke with multiple "supervisors" who said there's no proof I cancelled my account. I was offered 50% off through the length of the contract, which is August 2026! I continue to get letters and phone calls about my account with late fees being assessed. I sent another letter with all the email communication documented to another supervisor this week. She reviewed it and stated the best they can do is offer 50% off the bill through August 2026. She asked if I had a recording of the phone call that I made to cancel and since I didn't get the agents name, I spoke with, they can't trust I actually called to cancel. Unfortunately, I don't make a habit of recording my own cell phone calls, so I didn't have a recording to show I cancelled. I just need the calls and letters to stop. I am not paying for two years on a contract I cancelled the renewal for. I understand the phone book was printed with my ad in it, but that was an error by the agent who forgot to cancel my account. I did everything right in ********** the renewal.

  We had an account manager for a while that was told to end services (2019/2020). Unbeknownst to us, the account was set for annual auto renewal that we received notice of May 1, 2024. On that same date, a dispute was filed with the company. Several **** advised that due to the terms and conditions of the contract we will have to pay until this October, 2025. Our company chose to end all advertising several years ago. Thryv is advising that due to my dispute coming minutes after receiving a renewal notice that we are now in collections and a monthly amount will keep being applied until contract ends this October. We have asked numerous times for this account to be closed. They have an electronic signature authorization on file that I have also disputed. We would like our account closed immediately, we authorized nothing beyond ending our relationship with our account manager and advising to end services back in 2020.

  Thank you for allowing us to reach out to our client about their concerns. We were unable to reach the client by phone but got an email they were not available and a request to research. We have advised the long time client the auto renewal process has always been part of the agreements and the account auto renewed last year also. We did agree to a settle the account and notified the client of that. Thank you again for allowing us to assist our client.

  Six months ago I sold my business "*****************************" and as part of the handover to the new owners contacted THRYYV to cancel the account. They proposed "moving" the account to the new owners. Subsequently the new owners refused THRYYV's services because they had an advertising contract with the another agency. Meanwhile this demand letter and nasty phone calls keep coming as if THRYYV still has an account. It looks like this is an existing fraudulent modus operandi with THRYYV. We recommend no one do business with them until they rectify their abusive practice and correct this bill back to zero owed and account closed. As the former owner of ********* it is not my job to do sales for ****** nor figure out how to close the account in their system after the new owners refuse to do business with them. ****** acknowledges the communications regarding change of business ownership and refusal of new owners to continue the account. Anyway... in the age of the Internet and ****** the "Real Yellow Pages(tm)" model is some pretty skibbidy toilet boomer nonsense.

  Thank you for the opportunity to review this matter with our client. Our client's concern was that she was still being billed after the sale of her business and cancellation request. We have spoken to our client and have reached a mutual settlement for the account. We have assured the client that her agreement has been noted for cancellation of the next issue. Our client was satisfied with the end result.Thank you again for the opportunity to work with our client.

  Since October of 2024, I have repeatedly requested that both Yahoo and Thryv remove my name and number from their website and database via email and phone. Thryv has not complied with the request to remove my contact information from their database and ***** continually obfuscates responsibility by directing me to Thryv. It is an endless loop where nothing is accomplished, and a great deal of time is wasted. In fact, displaying this information publicly benefits nobody and frankly constitutes a form of harassment. As I have repeatedly reported to both entities, the Is this your business? Verify your listing option is unavailable to me, for inexplicable reasons, otherwise I would have taken care of this matter upon my own volition long ****** most recent interaction from ***** on 03/25/2025 at 04:15 am EST is as follows:Hi,Thank you for contacting ******************** We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. ***** has partnered with Thryv?

  We had a employee that had not authority to sign anything sign a contract Feb 2nd 2023. After going to through some credit cards charges in January of 2025 we notice we were still being charged under this February 2nd ********************* January 2025 when we called to cancel this they told us we couldn't because we signed a 3 year contract. After reviewing my contract it looks like they switch the normal yearly yellow page contract that we had signed yearly for 30+ years and switched it to some form of an auto renewal contract. Well I am not sure any business in the world that would advertise for 3 years without any switch to the ads. It says in the contract that they will make a reasonable effort to reach out for Artwork we have had any contact from them since the contract was signed back in Feb 2nd 2023 for $277.45 per month. They told us we have some half page ads in a phone book. Not sure if that book actually exist or if its does where its being distributed. Its my opinion that this was pretty much a well thought out plan and is pretty much a complete scam. After reading all the complaints real similar to mine. They devised a business plan to bury an Auto renewal legal wording in these contracts hoping people like me wouldn't notice the monthly charge. I am not looking to get any of the money back from the last 2 years as I am the idiot for not catching this scam quicker. I am looking for my monthly charge to stop now. They are telling me I am under contract until March 31 2026. If I don't get this resolved quickly I am moving forward to the ************************** to investigate this company and there contracts.

  They are claiming because I signed a contract in 2017 they have me on an auto renew obligation and unless I contact them first and cancel it, I am under obligation to renew for another year. I received an invoice for $2,000 in January confused what it was for because no one contacted me about advertising for the yellow pages. They claim they send out emails letting everyone know that unless they respond they will auto renew and be renewed for another 24 months now. It used to be 12 months apparently, then it was 18 months, now its ****************************************************************************************************************************** I contacted the company explaining I didn't want to renew and was not contacted about renewing for another year, they explained that because I signed that paper work in 2017 that I am under contract as long as they put out these yellow books. ( the business changed hands after I signed this contract mind you, the contract was through ********* in my opinion making the contract null and void as it's now Thryv.

  In October, I reviewed the cost/benefit of having my business advertised in The Real Yellow Pages and decided to cancel the service, as it a) did not bring new clientele to my offices, b) advertising by word of mouth works better in my region/location, and c) most of my clients who do come from out of our region find me through a professional website.Not wanting to spend hours on the phone, I chose to write a letter of cancellation for the service dated October 2024, which I can provide if needed, and sent it to the address provided. Rather than acknowledging my cancellation, The Real Yellow Pages continued not only to send me bullying billing statements with a fee added for a service I cancelled, but has resorted to sending my canceled bill to Collections, and is conducting weekly and now daily phone Collections calls and threats against my credit rating all for an account I closed six months ago! I sent another letter after last months letter to an address the company has in *********, hoping that would help this company confirm that I did indeed close the account, and will certainly not be reopening it after all this hassle and harassment. Please encourage them, for the health of their long term business, to confirm closure of my account #********, stop threatening collections, and stop threatening my credit rating. Sincerely, ****** L *******, Artemisia Massage & Healing Arts

  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to address our clients concerns.   Due to the client's schedule we communicated via email.   Our client provide some good advise on how Thryv communicates with our clients.   She was confirmed the cancelation will go into affect at the end of her current agreement.   ****** was thankful and considered the issue resolved.  Thank you.

  I am rejecting this response because:   

  In the email exchange I received, I requested that Thryv recognize that I closed my account. There was no clear way to close the account, either online or on the regular billing statements that occurred.  There was also no clear statement of when billing cycles opened and closed.  I agreed that I was finished but I wasnt clear that they were going to keep harassing me with repeated phone calls every other day!  I suppose the theory is that repeated hassle that I need to call them back might get me to re-up my account?  

  Thryvs representative did say they would take my suggestions, which were 

  1) clearer communication of the billing cycle (I did receive communication that the cycle begins and ends in July.
  2) ways to communicate efficiently and clearly with staff about how to close an account.  

  That was not covered in the email exchange, and I would like that to be confirmed, as I tried to cancel my account in good faith - but simply had no clear instructions on how to proceed, even though I had sent a letter to the accounts payable, along with at least two follow-up notes on statements insisting that my account had been closed. Im not sure why someone in accounts payable couldnt simply pass that letter on to the correct person within the company.  Perhaps they have instructions to throw such letters away so Thryv can keep billing as they have me, bullying them until they pay collections on a service they have decided is no longer serving their business.  Mucking up peoples credit rating needlessly is not a great business relationship or service.  

  When I have confirmation from Thryv that their complaint against my credit rating has been reversed, I will have to be content with closing this complaint officially. However, the time and energy spent in the process to respond to multiple calls and hassle of dealing with a blot on my credit that I genuinely tried to avoid, but was forced into accepting because of inefficient policies cant ever be recuped.

  Thank you for giving us a 2nd opportunity to address our client's concerns.   We were under the impression they were resolved with the prior response.    We have followed up with our client and addressed all their concerns listed below.  
  
  1) 'In the email exchange I received, I requested that Thryv recognize that I closed my account.'  In an email dated 3/20/2025 our client was advised that a cancel request on 10/2024 would have been to late for our 1/2024 directory but the next renewal has been marked to canceled.  
  
  2) 'There was no clear way to close the account, either online or on the regular billing statements that occurred.'   All our invoices provide 2 forms for contact information for any questions.  This is the right upper corner.   Please see the attached invoice.
  
  3) 'There was also no clear statement of when billing cycles opened and closed.'   Our invoices for print cover the activity period and product duration.   Please see the attached invoice.
  
  4) 'I agreed that I was finished but I wasnt clear that they were going to keep harassing me with repeated phone calls every other day!'   The calls our client is receiving is related to a past-due balance.   Just like any other company, the calls are to help bring the account current.   Once the account is current, the collection calls will stop.
  
  5)  'I suppose the theory is that repeated hassle that I need to call them back might get me to re-up my account? 
  *********************** representative did say they would take my suggestions, which were clearer communication of the billing cycle (I did receive communication that the cycle begins and ends in July.'  a) All our invoices provide the product duration, which is covered on the 2nd page next to the product.  See attachment.  b) 'ways to communicate efficiently and clearly with staff about how to close an account.'  All our invoices provide the toll-free number and mailing address.  See attachment.  Plus, we have documented several times over the years our client communicated with email. 
  
  6) 'That was not covered in the email exchange, and I would like that to be confirmed, as I tried to cancel my account in good faith.'  Our client provided suggestions to improve our communications in the future.   I mentioned in the 3/24/2025 to our client, thanking her for the suggestions. 
  
  7) 'but simply had no clear instructions on how to proceed,even though I had sent a letter to the accounts payable, along with at least two follow-up notes on statements insisting that my account had been closed.'   Our client advised a cancel request was emailed and mailed a cancel letter in 10/2024 to cancel, but we dont have any records of this.   Also it would have been to late since the directory has been on the streets since 1/2024.    It wasnt until 3/17/2025 that our client provided a copy of the cancelation letter dated 10/2024 and her statement advising she already requested to cancel.  Our invoices indicate two ways to communicate with Thryv for any questions.  Our 3rd party payment processing center gets thousands of payments daily.   The automated system doesnt always catch questions written on the statement.
  
  8) 'Im not sure why someone in accounts payable couldnt simply pass that letter on to the correct person within the company.'  Our 3rd party payment processing center gets thousands of payments daily.   The automated system doesnt always catch questions written on the statement.  That is why we provide two ways to communicate on our invoices.a toll-free number and mailing address.
  
  9) 'Perhaps they have instructions to throw such letters away so Thryv can keep billing as they have me, bullying them until they pay collections on a service they have decided is no longer serving their business.  Mucking up peoples credit rating needlessly is not a great business relationship or service. 
  When I have confirmation from Thryv that their complaint against my credit rating has been reversed, I will have to be content with closing this complaint officially. However, the time and energy spent in the process to respond to multiple calls and the hassle of dealing with a blot on my credit that I genuinely tried to avoid, but was forced into accepting because of inefficient policies cant ever be recuped.'  As PR, we have decided to waive the open balance, which will close out your account.   Our collection department will stop reporting the open balance to all the credit bureaus since it has been resolved.
  
  We have spoken with our client via email, and we came to an agreement to resolve the issue.   Our client is thankful.

  I was a former customer of ********************** Yellow Pages & was required to sign an annual contract each March for web & advertising services. I did not receive a contract in March 2024. Web & advertising services stopped May 2, 2024. (Previously, Thryv would update my ******** page every 2 days.) I called CS# to inquire about lack of services & contract. Received busy sound. Continued to be billed. Looked up company on the web for a different contact number. ******* did not have ANY contact information only company logo. Did a search on the web and could not find any other contact information. Web page was actually a blank landing page with minimal information. Sent email to Thryv with old email address I had on file but no one responded. No contact information could be found. Continued to call periodically. Found out Thryv Yellow Pages had been sold to Thryv the Real Yellow Pages, & this was the reason for lack of availability to customers. Finally able to reach a representative in ****. Service (Dec. 2024) & canceled service. she confirmed company had been sold and there was trouble in the transition. After cancelling, I still continued to receive a bill. Called again March 2025, I informed them I had not received services since May 2024 but more importantly I had not signed a contract with anyone. They said the attached bill was still due resulting from them purchasing my account but would escalate the case for review. On the same call they also acknowledge that I was not under contract when they purchased the company. You will see there is not an account number on the statement. Please assist in adjusting the $714.00 bill

  Thank you for allowing us to contact our client and resolve this complaint regarding their advertising.  We spoke with **** today and did a very deep dive of all their advertising.  We were able to confirm our client was notified when the digital advertising migrated to a new billing system.  After reviewing all the account notes, we confirmed the print advertising is still active and the digital advertising was terminated as requested.  The account in question has been resolved and we reach a mutual agreement with **** being happy with the resolution. Our client was provided her Business Advisor's direct contact information should she need to make any changes with the print advertising in the future as well as my direct information. Thank you
