They make you pay and when they cannot deliver the service they REFUSE TO REFUND THE MONEY.
I wanted to advertise the flat I live in because I needed to find a replacement for my tenancy contract - as previously agreed with ,y letting agency- and although Visum say they are happy to let you publish on behalf of agencies/friends/relatives etc, ONLY ONCE YOU HAVE PAID they tell you the ad wont go live unless you can prove you are the owner!!!! If you cannot prove it, they will not refund you the money even though they havent provided you any service!!!!
