Since a number of posts mention Nasir Ilyas, I had a look round to see what I could find. Nothing directly related to the latest mess (except these threads), but just a bit of background in case it's of any interest -- he seems to move in fairly high places and evidently has political aspirations.
2002: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/bradford-and-oldham-all-quiet-on-the-northern-front-647065.html
(3rd last para, refers to above)
This quote is taken from the above link the article is dated 3 July 2002 and refers to Mr Ilyas as a solicitor, when in fact at that time he was not qualified as a solicitor and should of been prosecuted for misrepresenting his position.
"If so, it was a funny kind of protest, says Nasir Ilyas, as he sits beneath his framed certificate of honour from Burnley Town Council for his work on the post-riots taskforce. "If the BNP had been elected in Burnley Wood you would say it was understandable," says the 25-year-old solicitor, who continues to live in Daneshouse next door to a boarded-up house because, he says simply, this is his community."0 -

Burnley and Oldham have enough problems with the BNP being elected without having Mr Ilyas helping them along by leading the opposition.
With MP's like him, who needs Enemies.
In that case let's get on to the Labour party and have him removed from their membership list for his fraudulent activities, Labour have enough crooks amongst them already!0 -

Hi all, this is my first post here i would like to take this opportunity to tell you a few facts. Firstly i do NOT work for Wolstenholmes this forum has been bought to my attention.
I can confirm that the sale between Mr.Ilyas and Mr Hussain did take place back in February 2009-since then Mr Hussain has been in full contol of wolstenholmes. Mr. Hussain has never denied this. I found Mr. Ilyas to be very fair and honourable in his dealings. I dont know what has gone wrong with Wolstenholmes lately.
I brokered the deal, chasing Mr Ilyas you are wasting your time.
All clients money is protected by SRA and there is no evidence whatsoever that any money is missing.
all the best for 2010

Incompetence springs to mind!!!
But over and beyond business acumen the fact remains that the problems began under the ownership of Mr Ilyas lets just ask David Burke and Steven Clarke I am sure they will agree and anyone who had the unfortunateness of being a client of Wolstenholmes before the recent sale who do not have legal title vested in them and who are receiving demands from the tax office.
As far as I am concerned they are all culpable!!!0 -
with regard to the sale of Wolstenholmes. There is infact a deed of trust between NI and IH which states that NI still owns the firm and brought in IH to try and get him out of this mess. Whilst i am not defending IH, NI is the true owner and i would like to see proof otherwise before i am to disregard the trust agreement which has been seen.0

The bank I was told to pay my money into by Sheridan Wall of Stirling Law Solicitors was:
The bank details are :-
Lloyds TSB
Sort code 30-13-90
Account No. 00053307 - Wolstenholmes. (Heald Green, Birmingham OSC 4 Ariel House, 2138 Coventry Road, Birmingham, B26 3JW). Is this a client account?
Interestingly my mortgage providers money which they also sent o 17 December 3 days before completion was to take place bounced back to them and they still have their money. My money went into the above account on 17 December and I have never seen it since.
I was under the impression that my money and the banks money should of all been going into the same account obviouslyy not.
In theory it SHOULD all go into the client account. All I can think of is that your mortgage lender's money was received AFTER the bank accounts were frozen by the SRA, although we are told that was around 23rd December. Were you a client of their B'ham office? Perhaps they had a different set of bank accounts from the Heald Green office and we know that the B'ham office was officially closed down on 18th December before the SRA intervention. I received some of the money WH owed me on 21st December and it came from a Lloyds TSB account in London.0 -

Particularly Nasir Ilyas and Wasseem Siddique who it appear have a history of nefarious and dodgy dealings.
What's to be gained by just wishing Imran Hussain were banged-up; if he's dun wrong then the courts will administer justice.
It appears that this thread has attracted a growing amount of media attention which has culminated in Imran Hussain becoming the spokesman for WH (but I still fear he's the Organ Grinders Monkey).
I'd like to know alot more about the other partners / owners / and why is the lovely Sean Daly never mentioned... is it possibly because of his name being English ? And what's all this about a phone scam.
Has anyone had dealing's with a certain Sheila Mills? She was my case worker and the one I originally complained about. Also this [EMAIL="helen.murgatroyd@wolstenholmes.co.uk"]helen.murgatroyd[/EMAIL] no one seems to be mentioning her. She's was supposed to have managed the complaints.0
