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.

NO I was never a client of the Birmingham office however although the account has a Birmingham address it does have the words Heald Green in front of it. I was going to say that maybe all the accounts were held centrally in Birmingham but you said your payment came from a London account.

Was it a Wolstenholmes named account?

The accounts were frozen on 23 December my money went in on 17 December. I also know that the bank's money bounced back so obviously there money went to a different account but that Wolstenholmes tried on 17 December to get the bank to resend the money the question is would they have paid it over to me?

I can't help but continue to think the worse. Nasir Ilyas qualified in 2004 by 2005 he was a partner in Wolstenholmes by 2006 he owned Wolstenholmes. To you and me that would be newly qualified and still finding our way around the law.

The irreputable Mr Hussain is more senior however his shoddy work began years back and there are plenty who will testify to that.

I do however wonder if DWF the agents appointed by the SRA are conflicted having trained/employed Mr Hussain in a previous life!

As for Helen Murgatroyd is she a conveyancer or a probate solicitor, she seems a bit confused to me.

Yes, but it came from the "International Service" of Lloyds TSB as it was being transferred to a bank outside of the U.K. (I don't live in the U.K.) so nothing unusal there. I think our only hope is that DWF can sort out the financial mess. I'm still owed quite a bit of money.

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.

Hi
all i can say is that I know that Mr Wall left Wolstenholmes because he didn't like the way they did things and he also took some of the better staff with him to start again. He is actually a really descent guy and is trying to start again after the nightmare that was Wolstenholmes.

You seem to have quite a bit of inside knowledge there moongate.So could you shed light to my post #486?

Doesn't it seem strange to you that someone posted a telephone number thinking it was for someone at Wolstenholmes and yet it was Homes? The fact that Mr Wall took some of the better staff including that person doesn't really explain the situation well enough.

Doesn't it seem strange that three posters are alluding to the same thing including a long time poster to this forum rather than newbies to these two threads?

Isn't it odd that as predicted to be part of the grand scheme,one office closed prior to SRA's intervention?

Doesn't this all look a bit too fishy to you?

Things don't look too good for Homes and they don't even seem to have a long established reputation to fall back on. Let's hope for their sakes, all the solicitors who moved over had complained to the SRA long before the intervention.
If squeaky clean the SRA after their investigations ought to make an announcement regarding Homes because people like myself would be very reluctant to give them the benefit of doubt..

I wonder who the other company was here?

They are useless; they take an age to do anything and have kept the £33000 deposit that was paid for a new house, even when my file was handed to another company.

Should be shut down!

Erm- why would you use a deed of trust for this purpose? That should have started some very serious alarm bells ringing for anyone who knows the first thing about law. Anyone stupid enough to have the legal title of a business transferred to them while continuing to manage it on behalf of someone who is a) incompetent or b) corrupt or both gets what they deserve.
