A researcher of Ukessays wants extra fees to amend a paper they wrote.

Anyone faced the same situation? They want to charge me extra 50 % of the paper's cost,I also asked for the amendment during the 7 amendment days . The researcher didn't follow the requirements and some changes should be done. I am really disappointed and so upset that they ask this from a regular client.

I don't know anything about the company, but it really depends on what you mean by "didn't follow the requirements." If that means the specs you provided explicitly required a discussion of 3 sociological theorists and 2 pages per theorist (for example) and strict APA format and only academic journals published since 2005 as sources, but the paper you got was all only about 1 or 2 theorists in MLA and used old textbook sources, then your rewrite should be free to fix everything that obviously should have been done correctly as per your specs in the first place. You should also get at least an apology and maybe some money back if it caused you to miss a deadline.

UK Paper RevisionBut if you mean your subjective interpretation of the specs is different from the writer's and (especially) if you mean you actually turned in a paper that you thought was perfectly fine but about which your professor had some criticism, that's a very different situation. (I'm not commenting either way on how you should or shouldn't be using the product, but that kind of thing does happen sometimes, even with work provided by the best essay companies whose TOS prohibit customers from using the work that way. Some companies say they won't touch work that's already been submitted but in my experience, they may just have to say that publicly while quietly assigning the work back to the writer to fix it.)

In principle, writers are responsible to fix anything that's their mistake; but if you just have a different opinion about how the specs that are less mutually clear should have been followed or a different opinion (after the fact) about how you might have written the project that you paid someone else to write instead, and without explaining your preferred approach in advance, then the rewrite shouldn't be free but should be charged at a reasonable and fair rate because the writer didn't actually do anything wrong. Again, I don't know the company or what kinds of promises they make during that 7-day revision or amendment period. I have experienced both extremes (1. having to redo an entire project for free because I misunderstood the specs or used the wrong sources and 2. having clients come back to me a month or more later demanding more work to accommodate every comment from a professor who just gave the essay they submitted a B+ instead of an A). Mistakes can happen, especially to the most established writers who are busy night and day with overlapping deadlines for half a dozen customers. It's a lot of pressure and room for error, but in principle, writers should always fix their outright mistakes that could or should not have been done wrong in the first place for free and charge reasonably for other changes or edits afterwards that weren't mistakes. Sometimes, the customer is the one responsible for leaving out part of the specs, in which case, that's a paid rewrite because it isn't the writer's fault at all. Does that make sense to you?

Not sure how much detail you're willing to share, but to know what's appropriate or inappropriate, we'd need to see the original specs and at least the parts that you say are deficient.

I have to agree with FreelanceWriter. Without more details, it is impossible to see if there was an error on the part of the writer, or if the issue was with the original instructions.

Related to this service - it may be troubling to some professional writing service representatives and freelance writers out there to read about the deceitful statements, supported by Wikipedia. For example, from: ukessays/situation-cheating.php:

Where did custom essays originate?

The idea of the custom essay was pioneered as a professional service by Barclay in 2003: the first of his companies was 'Academic Answers Limited'. Barclay's company ethos was to legitimise a business, which had existed as an underground operation for a great deal of time.

There are at least three companies that have been providing professional 'custom essay services' (CustomPapers, GraduateWriter, and EssayTown from the US, for example; there are also a couple of foreign ones) that have actually pioneered as a professional academic research service before 2003, so the statement is either intentionally or unintentionally inaccurate.

That is 100% correct. There is no shortage of deception.

No, suh companies shouldn't require any extra payment for any amendment of a paper they wrote.

i agree with your essay. Regarding paper revisions, you need to double check the student's original / initial instructions; if you have followed them then you should be protected; otherwise, you'd better revise it for free because that's what you agreed to complete when you took the writing order.

It should also depend on the revision policy of the company. If the company does not offer any revision assurance of sort, then the student should expect to be charged for the revisions, regardless of the error of the writer. That is how that company makes their money. However, if the company offers unlimited revisions, then the student should not be charged for any revisions, regardless of who was at fault. The student already pre-paid for the revisions. Next time, ask about the revision policy before you sign up for the service.

This, of course, is complete unadulterated nonsense. If a writer doesn't follow the original project specs properly, a free revision is owed. This has been standard throughout this industry forever and it's also basic contract law that any service provider is responsible for providing whatever service was agreed to, initially. If a service provider refuses to cure the project upon notice that it is defective, the customer is entitled to a full refund. It doesn't matter even slightly what the company's "policy" is, but by your analysis, a company's defacto policy might as well be "If the project that we deliver fails to follow your original instructions and project specifications, that's just your tough luck because we will not fix it to conform to the specifications that we agreed to follow at the time you placed your order without additional payment." No reputable writer or company does business this way.

Students have been known to resell their own papers to their classmates and fellow students which is why there are some companies, who have experienced such incidents, tend to charge for a revision when the student wants too many alterations done to the paper. The assumption is that the student is asking for these specific changes to make the paper different enough from his first order so that he can sell it to a buyer. While it is incorrect for companies to charge for these revisions, the fact that some students tend to abuse the free revision policies makes it necessary for some companies to do so.
The opinions are that of the author's alone based on an individual capacity. Opinions are provided "as is" and are not error-free.

The OP said that the reason he requested a revision was that the company didn't follow the original specifications, which wouldn't be consistent with the type of revision request necessary to change the essay to resell it.
The researcher didn't follow the requirements
