Can you please put this on tag just in case anyone else falls for it.
My son recently became an auto entrepreneur, we filled in the forms on line on the site Portail Auto-Entrepreneur.fr, we paid the e59 requested (I was a bit surprised about the payment as it was free when my husband and I started up...) This month a further e29 was taken from our bank... I phoned Portail Auto Entrepreneur.... we had never received a bill for the e29 & there was no mention of any further payments after the initial e59.
Now here's the con - in filling in those forms on line we unwittingly signed up for business assistance at a cost of e29 per month for ever.... A company based in Sweden.. no mention whatsoever anywhere of these monthly payments!
I phoned the company in fury, spoke to a pleasant chap who understood that this setup was wrong, as SOON as I mentioned that it was deception he agreed to repay the e29 and stop the contract (which we never asked for)
I have an email confirming this from him and will watch the bank in 10 days time to see that the money is reimbursed. So if there's anyone else out there who has recently started up a business and paid e59 to do so - be warned.
