Bark is stealing credits
Bark is stealing credits.
There expiry date for CREDITS is silly, you pay a load of money for credits, then you do not expect them to expire.
Even their clients, when you call them the first think they say "I have no money". Why do you then advertise on Bark, it cost me a credit for nothing.
Avoid them, they steal your credits, and prospects do not have money.
Just a waste of time and space.
7 May 26; I did send an email to the email address, only to find out that the email address is not working. That says a lot....

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we're genuinely sorry to hear that you've felt this way about our platform.
We understand how frustrating it must be to feel that credits you've paid for have gone to waste, and we'd like the opportunity to look into the specifics of your account. Regarding credit expiry, we appreciate your feedback and understand that this policy can feel unclear or unfair, particularly when a significant investment has been made. This is something we take on board.
Your point about prospects indicating they have no budget is also a concern we want to address. We are committed to improving the quality and readiness of leads on our platform, and feedback like yours helps us identify where that needs to happen.
We would really like to make this right for you. Please get in touch with us directly at reviews@bark.com with your account details, and our team will personally review your credits and work with you to find a fair resolution.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope to hear from you soon.

The response to my job request was quick, a quote was given and a good price agreed. However, my inexperience has meant that some of the decisions that should have been discussed and agreed beforehand, has meant that the overall price has increased.
Work is still ongoing but, so far so good.

Helpful Website
Has really helped me find the trades people that I needed. Has brought up people that are not local but it's not a major concern really. Did not get replies from everyone I approached though.

Searching for help.
Haven’t had any contact so far.
I simply want someone to give my dog the exercise he deserves.
I have already stated that I can’t walk fast enough for him.
He must be kept on the lead at all times because he reacts wildly when he spots other dogs.
Maybe he just wants to play, but that’s not something I feel capable of putting to the test.

Scammers
They have changed their policy regarding jobs being published on their website, however all these changes are in the trader’s detriment.
Over the phone they begged me to buy some credits and buy their premium service, I only bought the smallest pack of credits, only to find out that all the jobs I apply to, I don’t get any answer from customer at all - not just one but numerous. Only applied to those with a verified number, however it looks like the jobs are like fake adverts to waste the credits away as they aren’t returning anything.
All traders be aware of this company as it seems to be quite fraudulent to traders that pay them to get leads, but honest to customers that post jobs for free.
I’d recommend steering away from them as it seems to be only “stealing” money from the true payers and leaving them with empty pockets.
Bark.com used to be something years ago, but now they are just another scamming company.
P.S. Their customer service isn’t great either so be VERY careful with them and please DON’T sign up with them.
