Helpful Essays for School problem

They should not say that "you will get your paper within 24hours after the payment" in $39.99 service. I did make a payment by paypal to order the $39.99 service.(confirmed payment received) It's more than 24 hours and i still didn't get any respond from them, not even a confirmation e-mail. I did follow their instruction to turn off the e-mail filter. I did send e-mails to them and contact them by the question form from their website. and i still didn't get any respond.

do check essay frauds. do NOT pay to a site that has things like this. there's about 650+ sites or so that are involved with fraud. you need VERY GOOD advice from someone on a writing service.

I do have a grievance against Essays for School:
They took 28 hrs to notify me that they will not be able to write my paper since they can't find a writer for it. The topic was British literature and society. I'll try finding another company and if that fails, I'll do it myself and take the lower mark I deserve.

I had the same issue with Help Essays with a recent paper of mine. Sent it off for 1 week deadline, after deadline passed got an email immediately saying they cannot write the paper as there was no writer! WTF?! What a huge waste of 7 days... on the positive hand there are a few good writers that write for that site so it's worth checking anyway.

And they reuse/resell papers as well. Read the terms and conditions twice before you order.

It seems to me that most of the people here who complain about Helpful Essays are clients who didn't get the service they were asking for... while those who complain against essaywriters.net are writers who got booted from plagiarism etc.

Hmmm........

I don't see what the "Hmmm........." suggests. Is there some follow-up question that you're thinking of?

Most people here already know that I write for Helpful Essays. They are currently working on a new site to fix that problem. Currently, it's true that you don't know whether or not your paper has been taken off the writer board by a writer. If no writer takes it, you'll always get your refund, but unfortunately, that doesn't help you meet your deadline. Sometimes no writer feels qualified to take a specific paper so it never gets taken. Nothing sinister or dishonest about it though: there may just not be a writer available who knows about a given 18th-century French poet, or whatever.

I can suggest a temporary solution though: Always include in your order description (on any legit commercial site you choose to use) a specific request to the writer who takes your paper to please contact you via the system messaging function just to confirm. This is not a solicitation to use any specific site but if you're already using Essays for School, you can also contact me here and I'll check the board to see whether a paper is still posted or already gone. I've already done that here for people who have used me privately and then used the company for papers out of my areas and even for people who've never used me privately at all.

xmr4k, EW_writer works for the EssayWriters.net frauds. He is an ADMITTED fraudster who intentionally lies to customers to unduly secure business. Do not pay attention to a word that he types. It's all based on false accusations and propaganda to benefit him, personally, and his fraudulent employer from Ukraine.

Stop writing for Essaywriters.net! ^___^

For those who do not understand EW_Writer's sick game, he tells people not to write for essaywriters.net so that he can take more orders and personally rip-off more customers. The fraudsters at essaywriters.net obviously appreciate EW_Writer's dirty tactics, so they keep him happy, unlike the dozens-if not hundreds-of writers that evidence proves essaywriters.net defrauds on a yearly basis.

Thanks to essaywriters.net's new system, I can now see my stats. ^_^ So far, I've successfully completed 1204 orders for them and have accumulated 317 positive, 78 neutral, and 21 negative feedback from clients. If that's what "ripping off" means then I'm guilty as charged. :D

Please check your email ASAP!

LMAO! You're suggesting that people should believe anything that essaywriters.net claims? Wow, nice argument.

Err.. well, those are my stats. I knew I had a lot more positive feedback than neutrals or negatives, but I just didn't know the quantity until now. I'm sure other people who write for them can check out and verify their stats as well. ^_^

My point is that EssayWriters.net fabricates virtually all aspects of their business model. It would only be natural for the crooks to also fabricate writer feedback.

I'm not asking clients to believe my feedback summary (it's not like they know my writer i.d. anyway). I'm just stating what my feedback summary is in response to your claim that I'm "ripping off" customers. Are you saying that I'm lying about my feedback summary? ^_^

I didn't even come remotely close to suggesting that. I clearly stated precisely what I mean. Again, EssayWriters.net fabricates virtually all aspects of its business model. It would only be natural for the crooks to also fabricate "customer feedback" in order to FOOL potential consumers into believing that all of its writers have earned exceptional reviews from previous customers.

Hey Freelance, I recently placed an order with Essays for School for a custom paper and I am supposed to receive it tomorrow. I became concerned about the customer service (or lack thereof), searched Helpful Essays scam and almost had a heart attack when I read claims of people who were ripped off... Now I'm here. I tried to contact you but Im a new user so I cant. If you could give me any info about the status of my paper it would be greatly appreciated, just let me know what I need to do. Thanks.

Andy, that company must receive thousands of orders per month. I've seen the posts to which you refer. There are no legitimate claims online about being "scammed" or "ripped off." As FreelanceWriter has verified, the company issues a refund whenever an order cannot be completed, for whatever reason. In fact, that is precisely what happened a couple of years ago when I placed an intentionally absurd "test" order, which I knew perfectly well that the company could not possibly complete. I received a refund notice via email. The "ripoff" complaints that you have seen online have been posted by fraudulent competitors from Ukraine or a handful of customers (maybe 1 or 2 per year since about 2004) who seem to have misunderstood the service, got impatient, and/or placed a completely unreasonable order. For example, who can write a fully-referenced, 20-page research paper on ANY topic (let alone a complicated topic) in 8 hours?

How many "scam" complaints exist online about Ford, Sears, Google AdWords, and virtually every other legitimate company on the planet? It's an inevitable part of business. No company can make ALL of its customers happy ALL of the time. It's impossible. However, a legitimate company aspires to make MOST of its customers happy MOST-if not ALL-of the time. The things that make a company "fraudulent" or a "scam" are an intentionally deceptive business model, an abnormally high frequency of complaints about the same issue, unfairly docking the pay of employees, refusing to provide prompt and full refunds when justified, etc.

Andy, I hope that your paper works out and that you post to let us know.

However, just a warning - prepare to be attacked if you claim that the order doesn't work out - cuz that's just how some folks on this board like to roll.

Andy, please be forewarned that other folks on this board have an unhealthy obsession with me that causes them to ruin nearly every thread in furthering their personal agendas. I do apologize. If you'd like to read LEGITIMATE investigations and a plethora of other information to help you avoid getting scammed, see my profile.

Amen.

Andy, case in point . . . .

So I gave my writer a one day extension yesterday and I was contacted this morning that my order would be uploaded shortly. It has been three hours since that email and the scheduled delivery time has passed...What should I do? Is the final order sent to my email directly from the writer?

Try to take another extension; or try to get the money back. Also try to find another writer. Don't depend on this one.

O.K. So i finally received my paper... and its complete crap. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer to this, but do I have any options? I won't request a rewrite because the writer is incompetent to begin with and I am concerned that if I complain about the complete lack of quality that they will attempt to contact my school... Yes I know I should have written it myself.

Andy, please tell us the following:

* Topic
* Order number
* Writer's username

If there's truly a bad writer, let's call him/her out!

Andy, you do have some options. Talk to customer service and explain the situation - describe the specific problems with the paper (grammar, spelling, wrong format, off topic, etc) see if they will have another writer rewrite or edit the paper, as one option. CS should be fair in its evaluation of the quality of the paper. The second option (perhaps tied to the first) would involve at least a partial refund. You should also express frustration at the delays.

I certainly don't think you should do nothing or chalk it up to a loss - let Helpful Essays CS propose solutions to the problem and see if you can improve the situation through customer service.

Although it would probably be best to clear the air, I am very apprehensive about discussing this further and am more inclined to "chalk it up to a loss." WritersBeware, I am tempted to give you the info you asked for so that we "can call the writer out" (they certainly deserve it) but I am worried about the possible repercussions of doing so. If you could send me a message to discuss this off the board it would be appreciated. In case you're wondering, this is what I sent to Essays for School amidst an anxiety attack...

"Hello, I don't really know what to say besides that I am very frustrated. The quality of the paper I received was nowhere near what I expected. It was obviously thrown together haphazardly without any attention given to style, grammar, and spelling etc. This I could overlook because I had every intention to use the paper as a resource and not to hand it in as my own but the writer did not pay attention to the specifications I included whatsoever and worst of all they used bullets throughout the paper to meet the required page length requirement *(wtf!?)*. I do not intend to file a claim for a refund regardless of what results from this. If you could have someone rewrite my order that would be great. If not, at least make sure you do not let *d bag who will remain nameless* work for you again."

...Hopefully they respond. I have to get back to work now. Thanks for the advice.

I believe you this. I used one other Student writing service company and received the same twice. I personally find the whole Student Research group of companies as U.S. equivalent of UK Writing Help, legitimate but worthless.

Andy, let me see the paper if you don't mind...via aol and my same name. All legit essay companies have large staffs of contract writers. If your paper is really below standard the company would want to know about it and they'll take care of the situation. They do not just take the writer's side and it's in everybody's interest to know if there's anybody unqualified who slipped through the quality control in hiring. I have nothing to do with administration and am just one of their writers, but I'd like to see what you're talking about. Writing quality will always vary from writer to writer on any of these sites, which is why I always suggest that once you're happy with the product, you should always keep asking for the same writer.

Did you give them details about your school or are you just concerned that they'll track you down through your credit details?

andy I had a similar problem last week but with a competent writer who it looked like rushed an essay and didn't really stick to the specification as I asked. But I asked for a rewrite pointing out exactly what I wanted and within 1 day I got a really good paper and he even went over the word count for free. So ask for a rewrite and be specific about what you want and if you still get a piece of s then complain. Also run your paper first by "Freelance Writer" as he is definitely one to trust of all the writers on Essays for School.

EW_writer, you really need to stop your attempts to defame this company. It's old and tired. After YEARS of trying to do so, you have still failed to provide a shred of evidence that the company engages in any improper conduct at all. Enough is enough.

Thanks, Akuma. That's pretty much exactly how it works: if the writer screws up, you always get a rewrite; if justified rewrites aren't provided, the company actually withholds the writer's entire check for the month until it's resolved.

You can run papers by me anytime, because you were a client of mine first. Since Andy's already an existing Essay for School client, I can't ever take any work from him privately at all. He could request me as his writer in his order anytime if he wanted and, as you know, I don't mind keeping an eye on orders there to let you know their status between the time you place the order and the due date until their new system is able to provide that function.

This is not an advertisement to use any company; it's just a courtesy I don't mind extending to anybody here who has already decided to use any of the companies for whom I write.

Convenient.

I need to let everyone know that my problem was resolved completely and taken care of with the utmost consideration. I was very surprised at how quickly Essays for School responded to all of my concerns and went above and beyond my expectations. To be completely honest, when the problem first arose I was very tempted out of frustration to use every one of Carlin's dirty words to describe ES on this board, but I'm glad I did not. Given the nature of the service they provide there are some things that are beyond their immediate control. Furthermore, this reinforced for me that oftentimes it is beneficial to remain polite and respectful despite difficult circumstances. Thanks to ES and everyone on the board that helped me out during the ordeal.

Here is one of the many emails sent to me throughout the entire process.

"Hello, Andy,

I just read the paper that Essays for School delivered to you. No excuses -- I

agree with your assessment. I'd like to personally apologize for any
inconvenience associated with this order.

Please understand that we go to great lengths to ensure that each and
every one of our writers uses sound grammar, spelling, punctuation,
and style. In fact, I personally review every application that we
receive. As part of my review, I actually print-out each applicant's
writing samples and proofread, line-by-line. If I see any significant
errors (or a pattern of minor errors that I feel can't be permanently
corrected with a one-time phone call), I immediately toss the
application in the trash. We have neither tolerance for poor work nor
any desire to employ unqualified writers. We assume that an
applicant's writing samples are his or her "best work," so if there
are fundamental problems therein, we politely inform the applicant
that his or her services are not required.

We have asked Essays for School to provide us with a detailed explanation as to
why the quality of writing that she delivered to you is significantly
inferior to the writing in the samples that she provided to me as part
of her employment application. (I fully realize that it makes
absolutely no sense, but past applicants have actually admitted to
paying another person or online service to edit their writing samples
before submitting those samples to us!) In the meantime, we have
suspended Essays for School account. Depending on the validity of writer explanation
and whether or not she can successfully pass a stringent writing exam,
yours may be the last order that writer completes for our company.

As for your order, I have received permission to not only refund your
$198 payment, but also provide you with a FREE, 5-page paper on any
topic of your choice! Of course, the writer will not be writer.

Please note that we will have to manually process your free order, so
please respond directly to this email instead of trying to place the
order online.

Once again, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I hope that
you will not hold against our company the isolated and completely
uncharacteristic actions of a single writer."

Thank you,
Mitch
Human Resources Manager

Selling homework is fraudulent activity, nincompoop. ^__^

Oh wait, are you saying that Custom Essay for School DOES NOT TOLERATE THE SUBMISSION OF THE PAPERS THAT IT SELLS AS IS FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT? :D

I joined this board because I mistakenly thought that you guys were doing something constructive here - giving writers and students a forum to express constructive criticism. Goes without saying that I was horribly mistaken ... all you guys do is attack and insult one another and hardly anybody stays on topic. Really sad when one thinks that some of you are supposed to be educated and mature writers.
