Review Policy

Last updated 5 October 2026

Honest reviews help everyone. This policy explains how we collect, check and publish them, in line with the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

1. Who can review

Only customers who have genuinely used, or obtained a quote from, the trader. Traders, their staff, family or competitors must not review the business.

2. What reviews must not contain

  • False or misleading statements, or reviews written in exchange for payment, discounts or other incentives.
  • Abusive, discriminatory, threatening or defamatory language.
  • Personal information such as phone numbers or home addresses.
  • Content unrelated to the trader’s service.

3. How we check reviews

We link reviews to verified requests where possible and use automated and manual checks for suspicious patterns. We publish positive and negative reviews alike; traders cannot pay to remove or hide genuine reviews.

4. Trader responses

Traders may publicly reply to reviews once, politely and factually.

5. Reporting a review

If you think a review breaks this policy, email info@needatrader.co.uk with the link and reason. We aim to respond within 5 working days and may remove or hold the review while we investigate.

6. Enforcement

Fake or incentivised reviews are removed and may lead to suspension of the trader or reviewer account.
