Following on from my disappointing duo with Tyra and MarrisaMay a couple of weeks prior (link to review below) I was hoping to make up for it with a different booking, so me and Tyra had agreed an 8 hour outcall booking in early September. We agreed a date and I'd suggested a hotel that we've met at before but no deposit was paid. There was confusion over fees which I'd thought were agreed but apparently were not. Dunno if admins will decide if this is considered as her accepting the booking and therefore a review or not.

At the time I made the enquiry Tyra's rates on Tryst were as below:
1 hour: £400
2 hours: £650
3 hours: £750 - This must include social time (e.g. Dinner, drinks) + Private time
4 hours: £850 - This must include social time (e.g. Dinner, drinks) + Private time
Spend the day with Tyra (8 hours): £1,000 - This must include social time + Private time
Overnight (up to 16 hours): £1,800 - I require at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep + social time
24 hours (UK/Europe): £2,500
A weekend with you (3 days, 2 nights): £3,500Arranging the date:I'd said I could do any day Mon-Wed in a specific week in early September, and sent her a cropped version of a screenshot attached at the bottom, with the fees to display 'spend the day with Tyra' and included the rate of £1000 and said I wanted to book this. She replied to say that the Wednesday worked for her which I took to mean the booking was accepted and replied to her saying great, and sent her a message with a rough plan of how the day could look in terms of when private and social time would be (10am - 6pm), I said i could pay deposit whenever, but I didn't know how much. She didn't say anything for a couple of days so I sent a message expressing some of my frustrations relating to her slow communication and the issues in the previous duo booking with Marrisa as explained in the other review. While waiting for her to respond I made arrangements at work to ensure I was available all day as she'd accepted the booking and it was 99% confirmed in my mind - all that was left was a deposit.
Once that separate discussion re the previous booking was over, we continued to talk about the 8 hour booking for early September, she then backtracked and said she needed to double check her schedule regarding the previously agreed date and would reply to me the following afternoon when she had access to her calendar, this shocked me as she already said the Wednesday was fine. I didn't respond and waited for her to update me the next day as promised. By this time I had already booked the day off work and moved meetings around to make sure I'd be free so I kept my fingers crossed. She didn't message me the next afternoon as promised, but she got in touch the evening of the day after that to say that date was indeed fine.... I was relieved thinking great, finally!....
Confusion over rate:She then says the fee is £1400 and requires a £300 deposit. I queried this because I'd already sent her the screenshot attached with the £1000 fee included when she agreed to a date, and she didn't query anything at the time. She said the £1000 fee listed on Tryst was always a mistake (its been on there for at least 6 months as it was discussed in another review on here in Feb). Naturally I'm disappointed as I thought the booking was confirmed as above. I didn't want to pay £1400 especially after I didn't get full service I'd paid her for last time so asked if there was any flexibility for a booking at a lower rate like a 6 hour booking for example. She suggested I do the 4 hour booking listed on her website which is £1000 (despite it being listed as £850 on Tryst at the time of enquiry - which she also would have not honoured).
I told her I was disappointed and did not want to go ahead with this as it was the same fee for half the time that I thought we'd previously agreed, and had been publicly listed on Tryst
BY HER. She dismissed it and basically said 'oh well, hopefully we can work something out next time' with no acknowledgement or apology for the fact her admin error and bad comms had inconvenienced me at work and that if she had just read my previous message and the screenshot properly and told me initially that the fee was a mistake, the conversation would have concluded a week before. She said she hadn't clicked on the screenshot at the time so didn't see the incorrect fee - I don't doubt this is true and that it was a genuine oversight but again an error on her side wastes my time.
When I pointed it out that she'd been dismissive and not apologised, she said she'd already apologised about the previous booking issues and had done enough apologising recently (irrelevant as this was a additional issue that she was responsible for) and that I shouldn't have made any arrangements around that date until it was confirmed which for her is only when a deposit is paid (i can see how that arrangement works in her favour but not mine). If I had waited that long it would only have been 8 days before the date of the booking so would have been too late for me to book off work anyway. She eventually apologised for this most recent error.
Tryst rates:She said her Tryst rates are irrelevant in any case because she hadn't been active on there for 2 months (I didn't know this) and hadn't updated them for a while, and that the fees on her website are the only ones she honours. I told her I was aware that there were differences between rates on Tryst and her site, but this is extremely common with girls often advertising different rates on AW/Tryst/Websites. To my knowledge I had always paid her the rates I'd seen on Tryst, and previously her rates on AW rather than the rates on her website but it seems that was a coincidence. Tyra said that Tryst rates are always supposed to align with websites because the girls link their websites to their Tryst profile anyway, however after the discussion was over I had a look and immediately found several examples of girls (one who had the 'available' sign) on Tryst who have rates lower on their profile than on their websites which are linked from there. Tyra implied that I was intentionally playing dumb to try and get the lower rate by not initially highlighting the discrepancy myself at the time of booking (why would I have literally sent her a screenshot of the £1000 rate at the time of enquiry if that was the case?!).
In the meantime she had amended all her rates on Tryst to how they are listed now, in line with her website (and also increased some of them on both platforms, for example the 8 hour day rate is now £1500). I don't begrudge her increasing her rates at all, she is seemingly very successful and in high demand, with clients booking her for several days at a time, and must be making very good money for a 26/27 year old so it might be worth her investing in somebody doing her admin for her to prevent these situations from affecting clients. The increase in rates will hopefully mean better response times for people still interested in seeing her.
To be honest if it hadn't been for the confusion over the fees and the way she dealt with it, or if I hadn't already felt short changed from the previous booking where I didn't get full service, I probably would've paid the £1400 fee which actually isn't that bad for the service she used to provide.
Outcome:Despite considering her a great provider in the past, this interaction with her as well as Marrisa in the recent duo booking have completely put me off her and it reached a point where I knew the relationship was too damaged for us to ever have a booking again. I knew I wouldn't book her; she hinted she was still open to seeing me again but I'm not sure that was true - although I guess money is money. Neither girl showed any flexibility or intention to make up for the various issues that occurred across the duo booking and this attempted day booking.
Tyra used to seem very down to earth and reasonable and I respected her a lot, but she might have become greedy now after her success - she commented in a booking that she's planning on setting up an offshore bank account to avoid paying so much tax.
Discussion about UKPunting:
After the conversation concluded I informed her I would soon be joining UKP as I could no longer read a lot of the content as a non member (sorry for not joining before) and I let her know I'd be sharing this exchange on here and a review of the recent duo booking, but assured her I'd be respectful and honest. She took that to be a threat, or me trying to back her in to a corner, and made it clear that neither her or Marrisa wanted to be discussed on here (both had said previously that they don't like this site for various reasons which I can understand because of the nature of some reviews and comments on here in general), but I assured her I had nothing to gain from threatening her as it was clear we would never have a booking together again anyway. I don't have anything to gain personally from these posts or by telling her I was going to do it, in fact I will potentially be refused bookings by some girls now as she knows a lot of other providers that I like who wouldn't want to risk being discussed, and she will obviously know that it's me behind these reviews. I just feel the negative experiences are worth being shared as speaking to them directly was like banging my head against a brick wall.
I do regret telling her that I would write these reviews as it may have caused her some anxiety, and she would have found out anyway once I posted this so I take accountability on that one - I said it at the peak of my frustration at her. She said her and Marrisa would be happy to create an account and respond on here but across my two posts I don't think there is anything they will actually disagree with (Tyra may not like me saying that I think she may have become greedy). After the discussion came to an end she sent a sarcastic and patronising 'all the best ❤️' type message.
Negatives:- Admin error wasted my time and inconvenienced me.
- Clearly thinks her time is more important than mine and needed to be prompted to apologise for messing me around.
- Tried to shift blame on me for changing work arrangements even though she'd agreed to the date and didn't query the fee when I first enquired.
- Implied I was in the wrong for 'choosing to honour the lower rate' which she herself had advertised.
Positives:- Saved me 1k that will be spent elsewhere.
- I now have a random day off in the middle of the week today to get chores and admin done (such as these reviews!)
