Vocal Views Anmeldelser 

Very easy to use the new website, easy sign up process and nice simple and straightforward.

Quick and easy to navigate the new application process.
It was straightforward to fill in the questionnaire and give the information requested.

As someone who has participated in market research for over 20 years, I have never encountered a firm as unprofessional as Vocal Views. I have been chasing outstanding incentives for the Samsung and Apple shop mystery visits, only to be met with shifting goalposts and administrative incompetence. In any other industry, I would be out of business if I behaved this way.

Documented Non-Payment and Manufactured Obstacles:

It is my view that Vocal Views has failed internally on this project. This specific study appears to be a major target for non-payment, which suggests either significant under-quoting to the client or a failure to manage project costs. They are now seemingly manufacturing "audit" excuses to avoid paying participants for work already submitted and accepted. In a move that is frankly laughable, they even offered to "make it up to me" with future work—as if a professional would ever risk working for them again after their failure to honor existing financial commitments.

Alerting the End Clients: Kantar, Apple, and Samsung

Vocal Views acts as a sub-processor for global firms, and I am now formally alerting Kantar (the Data Controller). Under UK GDPR, Kantar is responsible for ensuring their processors act fairly. Withholding earned incentives while retaining participant data is a serious ethical and compliance matter. I am also making Apple and Samsung directly aware of how their brand-led research is being handled. Vocal Views explicitly gave permission for some participants to take part twice in this project, only to later use that exact participation as an excuse to withhold payment. This is a transparent attempt to avoid fulfilling contractual obligations.

Action for Affected Participants: Do Not Be Ignored

I strongly advise every unpaid participant to take the following steps immediately to protect your rights:

Leave a Review Everywhere: Do not let this remain hidden. Post your experience on both Google Reviews and Trustpilot to warn others and increase the pressure for a resolution.

Submit a Subject Access Request (SAR): Search Google for "GDPR Subject Access Request template" and demand all your personal data, including internal emails regarding your payment. This forces transparency.

County Court Claim via AI: Filing a claim via the UK’s Money Claim Online (MCO) is now super easy to do with the help of AI. Use AI tools to help draft your "Particulars of Claim" to ensure your legal language is precise.

MRS Escalation: Lodge a formal complaint with the Market Research Society (MRS) regarding their Code of Conduct.

Claim Late Payment Fees: As an independent contractor, you are entitled to Statutory Interest (8% above base rate) and a fixed compensation fee of £40 per instance under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

Vocal Views: Stop offering "goodwill gestures" that are a fraction of what is owed. Your "audit" excuses are invalid. Pay your contractors in full, plus the statutory interest and late fees you have incurred.

I've used the Vocal Views platform for the past few years, they offer a great range of research studies which are fun and enjoyable. The communication from the company is fantastic in the lead up to the research and there is always some one on hand to help if you do run into a technical difficulty. I recently completed a study that ran over time, without prompting I received an update from Vocal Views within 24 hours of the study advising the incentive amount was going to be uplifted due to the extra time I stayed engaged with the study. Everyone is really friendly and helpful that I have come across at Vocal Views and I look forward to working on more projects with them in the future.

All was so easy to complete to apply for and receive full info for the Market Research,

Had no issues, promptly paid my incentive too,

I’ve been using Vocal Views for years now, completing surveys and taking part in research, and I can honestly say they’ve been consistently reliable. I always receive payment for the work I do, and the process is straightforward and professional.

The surveys are interesting, easy to complete, and the communication from the team is clear and timely. It’s rare to find a research company that is this dependable over such a long period of time.

I genuinely love this company and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to take part in paid surveys or research opportunities.

Such a freindlly company, freindly staff, interesting subjects. You get paid well for your time. Vocal views is a great research company.

I found Vocal Views one of the best research companys around , They ring to check everything is ok to go ahead with the zoom call research and keep you informed throughout what is expected of you , so they get the best outcome for there clients , would definetley get involved again for them .

They are very on point

A great platform, that allows me to express my views, interact with many exciting programs, and allows me to be fully immersed.

Had an issue with very late payment but eventually resolved. The research was interesting and well organised.

I applied to take part in a Tea Drinkers study, using their new system which involved recording a short video clip as part of my application. This was the first time that I had been asked to do this by Vocal Views when applying for one of their projects and I found it made what used to be a monotonous task more engaging and interactive. I also really liked the user interface of the new system, everything seemed much more accessible, which helps someone like me with ADHD navigate so much better.

Easy process to follow with clear timelines and instructions. Well organised.

Well run Market research company with clear precise instructions when applying for a project.

These are people who clearly know what they’re doing. They’re considerate and inclusive, and they actually take the time to let you know where you stand. The projects are varied and interesting, and overall it’s been a genuinely positive experience working with them.

Great experience, eye opening studies ,enjoyable experience and clear guidelines provided.

Have taken part in few projects and was impressed how professional the staff is and payment is always done on time, will recommend to others to apply for the projects
