Good News for British NHS Doctors affected by med1web / TEMDI
Over the last few weeks stopECG and other organisations have received messages from UK based medical practitioners affected by Med1web who have been suddenly released from the claimed contracts.
The reason given by United Directories Lda is that these people are part of the UKs National Health service (NHS). We do not know the reasons for United’s change of heart but this is certainly good news for many people in the UK who are in dispute the directory.
UK practitioners who are with the NHS and in dispute with United as a result of signing forms mailed under the names med1web or TEMDI should reply to letters of demand noting that they are NHS Registered and asking for the contract to be annulled.

Are UNITED Directorios, Lda Expanding their operations?
United Directories based in Lisbon, Portugal bought many of the disputed contracts of Novachannel AG a company forced into liquidation in Switzerland and currently the subject of a huge criminal investigation in that country. (See This Blog tomorrow for some important Analysis of Novachannels recent loss before the Swiss Supreme Court)
The contracts in question related to the medical directory, med1web and were of the classic misleading format that has become known as the Ludenbach style after the man behind many of the companies that have used this layout.
Staff at United Directories were left in no doubt by frustrated victims of the Novachannel scam that the contracts were subject to the Swiss code of obligations, and were void due to their deceptive nature, this did not stop United from writing aggressive letters demanding payment and threatening legal action, nor did it stop them from contriving their own, very similar contacts which were mailed from Portugal and are now also the subject of dispute.
Recently med1web have been fairly quiet, with few complaints received, usually an indication with such guides of legal problems or of an ongoing project that is using resources; now the next stage may be evident.
In October a few complaints appeared online about forms from a guide calling itself The European Medical Directory – the complaints note that a price is inferred and that the contracts are misleading (StopECG has not yet seen these contracts to assess the complaints)
Some research has revealed that the directory does exist, calling itself The European Medical Directory (TEMDI) with a website at www.temdi.com
