by Mr Rowland F posted on 09/07/2010 Advantages: none Disadvantages: overcharged for service not rendered Don’t be a mug. You get what you pay for and nobody deserves to lose their invaluable data because they were taken in by false advertising and dishonest business practices.
I paid them to recover my precious data from a failed hard drive, which they subsequently trashed and overcharged me for. Naturally I can prove this (and intend to in a court of law) but that’s beyond the scope of my post.
These companies are all based in Bridgend, Wales and are well known for their sharp practices involving taking money for services not rendered and simply relying on their no refunds policy in the T&C. Quite often they damage hard drives and claim that the drive was irreparable – but still charge for an “attempted recovery”.

by Mr David Spoon from london posted on 12/10/2010 Advantages: none Disadvantages: everything my hardrive stopped working so i did a search on google for data recovery services and the first result that came up was rapid data recovery .i telephoned them and was assured they could rescue my data the price would be between £97 to £300.first of all they said they would examine my hardrive to see what the problem was and then get back to me with a quote.they called me back 4 days later and said they had passed on my hardrive to there sister company - fields data recovery and quoted me a price of £400 for the data recovery.there is no way i can afford this so i asked them to return the hardrive its not been returned and i keep getting put on hold everytime i ring them.this is a con and is something you would see on the real hustle TV show.

by Mr John Walker posted on 29/10/2010 Advantages: . I found them to be professional, straight forward and friendly. When my hard drive crashed, I was in a serious panic mode. I didn’t know where to go, was completely inexperienced and came across a couple of good reviews on Fields Recovery. After they got my hard drive they told me what they could retrieve, which was the majority of the data I had on there, and gave me a quote. I had heard some horror stories that some recovery companies end up charging you a fortune, but Fields stuck to their quote, and I got my data back on a 500GB hard drive, three days later. I found them to be professional, straight forward and friendly, all that they promised me I got. Definite recommendation! Was this review helpful to you?

by Mr Peter Bjork posted on 05/11/2010 “We experienced a massive RAID system crash due to a hard drive failure, and having used Rapid Data Recovery for a smaller matter years ago, sent my device to them for data salvaging. After analyzing my problem, they suggested I send my hard drive to Fields Data Recovery for that specific problem. Fields ended up recovering all the data I almost lost, and charged a reasonable price. Rapid didn’t charge me for the referral or diagnostic, so I am very appreciative to them for helping me find a solution without any monetary reward.”

by Mr Byrn Tabbitt posted on 08/11/2010 Advantages: quick, relatively cheap and professional We came across boxes of floppy disks during our legal practice office move.

by Mr Kavin Ladd posted on 08/11/2010 When my hard drive conked out I didn’t know what was wrong and as a techie, was mystified when I turned to Rapid who in turn sent me to Fields.

by Mr Camden Raggit from UK posted on 08/11/2010 Advantages: A professional service with a ‘can do’ attitude Rapid could not perform my hard drive recovered in time, but they wasted no time recommending Fields and getting it to them asap. Fields got my data back to me in time for my overseas conference. A professional service with a ‘can do’ attitude. Thank you Fields!

They performed a diagnostic and advised me to go with Fields. Fields did a brilliant job of getting all my data back, and that’s all thanks to Rapid. They did not charge for their diagnostic, as they say on their website, and I would be happy to recommend either company.

by Mr Walter Quade from London posted on 09/11/2010 Advantages: Value for the money Fields has access to some special technology, which I discovered when Rapid could unfortunately not recover my crashed server. Rapid was the cheapest service provider I could source, but Fields succeeded in recovering my data. Good job Fields, and especially Rapid. Was this review helpful to you? Yes - No Report | What special technology did you discover ? Sounds like Data Recovery Software is a new concept |

by Mr Danny Charron posted on 09/11/2010 Our RAID5 failed unexpectedly and Fields accepted our hard drives. Within two weeks Fields produced a full recovery. We were so very relieved and happy it was successful and even though it was pretty expensive it was completely worth it. Good job Fields!

| FAKE REVIEWS FROM THIS COMPANY |

by Mr Freelance Copywriter from India or maybe Thailand? posted on 11/11/2010 Advantages: They are far away from me Disadvantages: They exist FAKE REVIEWS FROM THIS COMPANY
Beware: All of these reviews are fake and have sprung up because of their director's attempt to suppress any negative reviews about his company. Use your common sense and check the dates, they have already been banned from FreeIndex and have attempted to remove negative posts elsewhere but have failed.
Therefore they have posted a flood of fake reviews in a short space of time in an attempt to deceive the public. Check the IP addresses, the dates and times, the pattern and the test is identical to the shill posts that Fields post all over the internet as well as on their own website (fake 97% approval rate and fake testimonials).
Would you recommend this business to a friend? No Was this review helpful to you? Yes - No Report | Yes you are not the only one to notice that in nearly 20 years Fields have mainly negative reviews or reviews they have had created by outsourced staff in India and Thailand |

by Mr Fakename McScammer from Hired through www.fieldrecruitment.co.uk posted on 11/11/2010 Advantages: Great if you want your data destroyed Disadvantages: Not so great if you want your data recovered Deception is a false reality imposed on a true reality. It is a fragile and complex weaving of truth, half truths', lies and lies of omission. To successfully deceive another or several people, one must be skilled in the art of deception. To create a deception worthy of belief one must be able to create plausible details that help create the illusion of truth. It is the details that people listen to and remember and the one deceiving is obligated to remember these detail in order to avoid having the lie exposed. The problem with remembering the lies we tell is that all people are basically good and we tend to forget the bad things we've done. In order to successfully perpetuate deception, the liar must be willing to live that lie when necessary. This becomes the tangled web we weave, especially when first we practice to deceive.

by Furious Customer posted on 11/11/2010 Advantages: None Disadvantages: Scam artists who seemingly exist to defraud people I had a horrible experience with this company, who provided appalling customer service, tried to charge me 4 times the price they quoted, and damaged the disk containing data I cared hugely about beyond repair, including wrenching the platters apart and causing dust contamination. It seems hundreds of people have had similar experiences, and the next data recovery company I contacted to see if they could do anything to salvage my disk refused to even look at it, saying that if it had been with Rapid Data Recovery/Fields previously, they knew from experience it would have been irreversibly damaged and there was no point. I'm utterly gutted and would advise people in the strongest terms to stay away from this company.

by Mr Phillip Simmon from london posted on 12/11/2010 Advantages: good services and positive attitude Let's try to use services from fields and rapid company. I've been tried, it's work!!. I dropped my hard drive off at the Rapid office in London, and they recommended Fields as an alternative recovery company. Fields completed a full recovery professionally and after a couple of weeks I got my data back. Rapid didn’t charge me for the analysis or referral and I am happy to recommend either company.

by Miss Myrtle Haynes posted on 12/11/2010 Advantages: resonable price and work well Fields charged a reasonable price and performed so well, really empathizing with our situation and working all hours. I work for a large charity and when our server packed up it spelled a big disaster for some many of the people we support in our charity. The hard work and commitment Fields showed was touching; we are thankful and on behalf of all the hearts we represent, thank you!
