Be very wary about paying any money to this organisation I signed up my child to this company they quizzed me on how much I knew about the industry which was limited and this is where they get you The least you know The easier it is to get roped in They provide different packages where you need to pay a deposit depending on the board you choose which they say will be refundable at the end of the contract and verbally stated to me the deposit is held should you not attend the jobs offered to you but this is further from the truth They encouraged me in the meeting to try and pay more to get a higher board and made out like they don t offer this option usually and how this was a special circumstance Throughout the contract they had limited eligible work for my child in addition to stating my child was the first on their books If this is the case you never catered for her from the beginning Their website even states they have baby work and teenager well what about ages 2-12 I informed them of this issue and they even acknowledged again receipts of this I even highlighted them not providing relevant work jeopardises my deposit which they stated it wouldn t effect it again receipts of this A lot of the jobs were not official modelling jobs but jobs from trying to make it photographers who wanted to build their profile A lot of jobs would leave you out of pocket just travelling as they were not paid work Their communication is poor and they provided a reel at the end of my contract They highlight in their response oh we provided you photos etc but that s what you state you do for FREE I got cold feet regarding this company 8 days after I paid my deposit and asked for a refund I was refused and told I need to see the contract out till the end Only to be told a year later that the contract I entered didn t start till 2 months later so at the time I asked for my deposit back I wasn t in a contract- so why are you withholding peoples deposits when they haven t even started working for you or their profile hasn t gone live This shows their true hand as to what they are really about Most people know with anything you purchase you have some form of cooling off period Due to me not trusting in their handling I kept evidence of all which I plan to take further You only have to look up the company on companies house you will see ccjs against them - this info is all out there Which makes you think why would a company with this status be quick to refund people They will find ways not to refund you and most positive reviews are from the beginning Guys REAL modelling agencies won t ask for deposits or your money and if this is the case hold the deposit in an official deposit facility with a neutral firm instead they handed me a cut out paper on the day with their account details on and asked me to transfer As this is a transfer you are unlikely to get a refund They attempt to ignore my request to provide proof of all eligible jobs throughout the period by enticing me to join for another year if I followed their rules They don t even follow their own rules and I informed them I don t want any part of my child being associated with this scam Do your homework before handing your money over there are plenty people who have been victim to this company who are all starting to talk up They smear we re government regulated to justify their operations but I m confident that this will come to and halt soon

Do not give a penny of money to this scam company i payed 1000 to this company when I was 16 before they rebranded to Eclipse They were known as Your Model Management I applied online and they called me and asked for an interview My dad drove me down to Croydon the exact same adress as Eclipse which was a 3 and a half hour drive for us They made us wait in the waiting room which was to the left as you walked in and they then called me in to the photography room to take some Polaroid photos literally just photos of me from the front back and sides I then sat and waited for 20 minutes I then get called into the interview room for a talk they ask me who I look up to in the industry etc it all seemed EXTREMELY legit They then showed us all the boards We chose the elite board with the 1000 deposit They assured us as long as the contract was followed it would be 100 refunded They said it is going into a secure deposit and they made sure to repeatedly tell us that any agency that takes your money is not legit however a refundable deposit is to secure the contract They then took me to the small runway room where they did catwalk trial and made me walk up and down the catwalk They took me back to the interview room and said that they had already accepted someone today so they wouldn t normally accept anyone else but they saw so much potential in me that they wanted to accept me 16 year old me was in heaps of joy as modelling is something I ve always wanted to do and I was overjoyed that these people saw potential in me They promised me I would be able to walk in London Fashion week and that they wanted to sign me a shoot with Marks and Spencer s We left with the contract and agreed to send the money whilst we were in the car once we d looked over the contract a little more Immediately after we left Meni who was my personal agent called and texted me to ask if we had transferred the money and he was in constant contact until we did Being a college student the agency was fully aware I was unable to make the trip to Croydon during term times as they were not open on weekends They kept sending me dates of catwalk trainings that I could not attend due to the fact I was in college I also went to a boarding school for college 2 hours from home so was unable to drive myself there or have my dad drive me unless I was in my hometown during some weekends or holidays they said I was unable to attend holiday time catwalk trainings as they were for the younger models I managed to get a day off college to go down for a portfolio shoot which I was really excited for They insisted to me that the photos would be sent off to Milan to be retouched by professionals when I got the photos back I was not impressed they looked like they had been smoothed on FaceTune They told me in order to have access to the photos I needed to write them a good review on Trustpilot which I did When it came to the end of my year I was told I had not fulfilled the contract as I had not attended catwalk training and I had not applied for enough jobs throughout the year on the jobs board my mistake I thought it was 3 per year not 3 per month because I could have sworn they said 3 a year in the interview however in the contract it said 3 per month I argued that I had been with them a whole year I had had minimal contact off them other than at the beginning when my personal agent was changed 3 times they had not made many effort to get me any jobs or create me a portfolio they said I could not get my deposit back however they would keep me on for another year and if I fulfilled the contract that year then I would get my money back I agreed then received no contact from them after this about 7 months later their website and jobs board went down and I could no longer apply for my 3 jobs a month I sent email after email and heard nothing back My year ended last February and I have had no response about recieving my money back I then shortly found out they had rebranded to eclipse and they had claimed bankruptcy on My model management I have tried everything including emailing eclipse themselves saying I know who they are and what they are doing We have tried going through the bank it is impossible Absolutely gutting because this experience has completely put me off wanting to model which has always been one of my biggest dreams

Fast speeding into thinking you gonna make money from modeling and sugarcoating you into paying the deposit Then nothing Until you pay the full amount No ones gave a damn about me no pictures was send or received Was answered in a phone call that you to spend money to make money when complaining

Amends after EMM s response 1 Please note that we are a government-regulated organisation which means that all our contracts and operations are overseen and approved by the relevant authorities - Eclipse Model Management is government regulated correct However the company that you hide from clients and send deposits to without informing clients P K STUDIOS or PORTFOLIO KINGS is not This is deceptive and means business and trading standards are unable to support clients who contact them as your business set up is therefore only semi-regulated 2 This also includes oversight of where funds are allocated - as above this is false and I have tried so many times to share this with you via email but you ignore me PORTFOLIO KINGS P K STUDIOS funds allocation company is not regulated as confirmed by Business and Trading Standards 3 Ultimately the allocation of funds does not impact you as long as you adhere to our simple guidelines Regardless of how the funds are utilised you will receive your deposit back upon compliance with these rules - Not true - this allocation does impact me as I signed a contract because I was told my deposit was stored in a government regulated RSD account But this is not the case EMM have a responsibility to be transparent about where client RSDs are stored 4 As part of our services we provided you with a free portfolio shoot We trust that you received the photos however if this is not the case we are more than happy to resend them to you - I received a free photoshoot and got the images 2 months later after receiving another models images this free services has no impact on the return of RSD 5 We regret that you have not secured as much work as you had hoped From the outset we have been transparent in stating that much like actors no model with any agency is guaranteed work This is because we do not control the hiring decisions of clients To mitigate this we offer a refund of your deposit provided you comply with the straightforward rules outlined in your agreement Should you have failed to meet the requirements you are welcome to complete another year adhere to the rules and secure your deposit refund - correct you did not promise work but you did promise a refund if contract rules were met you have broken this promise by failing to return the RSD we encourage you to contact us and speak directly with Dina a supervisor She will work with you to resolve the matter - I have reached out to you many times and been told that you are not willing to respond to me You can view samples here as we must publish a sample eclipsemodelmanagement co uk refunds 46 - this page includes personal data of a number of clients which is a clear GDPR breach did you obtain client permission to post this data If not then I can assume is either falsified or a GDPR breach DO NOT WORK WITH THEM Eclipse Model Management Models Advice Bureau Ltd invited me to interview with them in September 2023 Jacob conducted the interview I joined Eclipse and paid a fully refundable deposit of 700 I was told it was being sent to a Government Regulated RSD account This meant that Eclipse could not touch the money and guaranteed security for me getting my money back I have since learned that the money was not sent to an Eclipse Bank Account but instead to Kings Portfolio which is a non-government regulated company This has meant that the BISS whom Eclipse claim to be regulated by cannot get involved and cannot support in returning the funds Eclipse have this set up intentionally and coerce people into sending money into what they are told is a safe regulated account when this is all false Eclipse Model Management is regulated by the BISS but Kings Portfolio is not Over my 12 months I got no work from Eclipse except for one unpaid portfolio shoot in January They have failed to refund me even though I did everything they asked and they have so far given me no reason as to why they will not refund me They are ghosting me and whenever they have been in contact they are blunt and aggressive They deceived me by getting me to send money to an unregulated account as I was told it was an account part of Models Advice Bureau when it wasn t They have also said why would we send you your money back when you left us a bad review on trustpilot and said if we can prove Eclipse is government regulated would it be fair to retain the 700 you sent I have called them emailed many times but they are not interested in refunding me I have reported them to The ICO Action Fraud Met Police Trading Standards and the Financial Ombudsman Please please do not work with this company they will never get you jobs and never send money back

scam they will ask you to pay a deposit

Dear Eclipse agency I am writing to express my disappointment and concern regarding your recent email and the practices you are implementing While I appreciate the concept of offering free images your approach to obtaining reviews is unethical and manipulative To add more the Man black man middle age Sorry to describe but i don t remember the name He is super rude person He Started with gouge the conversation and his tone was very rude Blaming me that i don t know hoe to read emails and i am not respectful of times I felt like i was front of the Gouge At some point he loose patience and leaves room for no reason Then I continued talking with Victoria she is very nice person and i think she is on wrong place working The email I received in the afternoon suggests that individuals must leave positive reviews on Trustpilot and Google and even involve friends and family to do the same in exchange for my images This not only undermines the authenticity of the review system but also misleads potential clients Reviews should reflect genuine experiences not be coerced as part of a transactional arrangement Additionally asking for deposits without providing clarity on suitability for opportunities creates a lack of trust in your company It gives the impression that financial gain is prioritised over transparency and client satisfaction Only reason of deposit i have heard is safety as people is not serious about work It is only funny for me I believe such practices could harm your reputation in the long term If you truly value your clients and aim to secure funding for more shoots I recommend focusing on delivering excellent service and encouraging authentic voluntary feedback rather than using manipulative tactics I am already working as a model and i have few albums so honestly i don t really need those random 5 picture I went to this place as i imagined they could push me forward even more but i was wrong I hope you take this feedback seriously and make necessary changes to align your practices with professionalism and integrity Nataly Lekiashvili

I want to share my experience with Eclipse Model Management to help others make informed decisions I was significantly pressured during my model interview I wasn t given adequate time to review the terms properly despite begging multiple times to take the contract home to my family I and the person I was with were scolded and told that Eclipse don t like time wasters There was a huge lack of transparency regarding the contracts and services When I decided to cancel shortly after I received conflicting responses and my concerns were not addressed After researching further I found multiple reviews and online discussions suggesting others had similar experiences which raised additional concerns about their practices I would recommend exercising caution and doing thorough research before engaging with this agency or any similar services Transparency and clear communication are crucial when making such commitments This review is based on my personal experience alongside thousands of others who have unfortunately been scammed by this company Proceed with incredible caution And seek out external reviews of this company on Instagram and TikTok for more accurate reviews
