Yell Censoring Genuine Negative Reviews / Protecting Defective Traders - CW Resin Driveways

I am deeply concerned by Yell’s review moderation practices, which actively suppress genuine consumer warnings while showcasing misleadingly positive ratings.I attempted to post a factual, first-hand review on the page for "CW Resin Driveways" in Wokingham (run by Cameron Walsh). Instead of requesting verification or proof of contract, Yell repeatedly removed my review, effectively shielding a trader who has caused immense financial distress.For context, I paid this contractor a £7,500 advance on 27/04/2026 for a 14-day driveway/garden project. He delayed for two months with excuses, abandoned the job with zero progress, smashed four of my existing patio tiles, and left a hazardous mess unsafe for my children. He has refused a refund, and I have been forced to launch Small Claims Court action to recover my losses.By filtering out this critical information, Yell is failing in its duty to protect the public. Consumers rely on review platforms for safety and due diligence. Yell’s systematic deletion of my honest, evidence-backed experience means their 5-star ratings cannot be trusted. Potential users beware: you are not getting the full picture here.
