Our experience with Visual Rights Group was deeply unimpressive.

Their correspondence appeared designed to create urgency and pressure recipients into paying substantial amounts without adequately establishing the legal or factual basis for those demands. A demand from a private claims company is not a court judgment, does not prove liability and does not automatically mean that any payment must be made.

We made no payment and do not accept that any payment was due.

Anyone contacted by Visual Rights Group should independently verify every aspect of the claim: the identity of the copyright owner, Visual Rights Group’s authority to act, the chain of ownership, the licensing history, the alleged usage and the basis upon which the amount demanded has been calculated. Do not simply assume that the claim is legitimate, proportionate or enforceable because it has been expressed in forceful legal language.

Their manner of operating also left us with serious questions about the company’s reputation, standing and credibility. We would strongly encourage others to research the organisation carefully, read accounts from other recipients and obtain independent advice before responding or considering any payment.

We conducted a comprehensive audit of our image library and removed any material associated with disputed or potentially questionable claims. Visual Rights Group has been directed not to contact us again about this or any other matter.

Based on our experience, we would not recommend this company.

Harrassing, attempting to intimidate, all over a photo used that was provided by the person in the photo to use on their bio.

Scam, their web crawler actually "hacks" internal pages that are not publically available, which is quite scary. desperate scammers

Yet another scam! these people send random phishing emails. They do not work with the agency they purport to represent - today they tried to scam me for my own photo. Do not pay them! contact the agency you purchased the image from and let them deal with these scam artists!!

Please be aware for this organisation. They focus on individuals or small organisations that have no means to defend themselves. The only thing they do is scan the internet with a specific software to detect websites using picture they didn’t make themselves. They come directly with a settlement proposal and threaten you that if you don’t pay it will cost you much more money. There is no way of having a proper discussion with them. A group of ‘so called lawyers’ that couldn’t find a way to do something real with their degree and instead chose to take money from unaware individuals. Don’t go into business with them.

Sad people which threaten to sue after I placed an article linking to their website with a small thumbnail of the image on the website. Please find a real job.

beware of these criminals, I had dealings in May 2024 with another company called Copyright Agent over an image on my website which I straight away removed. I did suspect the company were a scam at the time but decided that ok I had used the image so bang to rights and I paid the £550.00 demand.
Now 6 months later I have another demand from visual rights group over the exact same image which to my knowledge was deleted 6 months ago. I completely stripped my web site and replaced all images with my own production. Visual rights tell me I am Currently displaying the image so I reply and say no it was deleted 6 months ago, they say no it's live and here is a link to prove it. So I use the link which takes me to a false home page which had been constructed by a hacker. I could see this straight away as amendments I had made to my home page on the Navigation menu 3 weeks previously were there but the page content had been cloned from an old page, also I had slightly changed my business name but the old name was showing still. I then clicked on the HOME button on the navigation menu, this should usually have no affect as I am on the home page already, but low and behold I am directed to my current genuine home page. I straight away reported this to the police and action fraud as every one should do because if enough people report this then the police must surely take action
