I think that's the mentality of a bully baying

All you newbies, who come on here giving all this rubbish, should go off and do something worthwhile.

Majority people on here have had their lives turned upside down, due to the thieves at WH.

And the people who quoted £99, I would like to know who got the conveyance quote that cheap.

IH, is a bare faced liar and he is a cheat, not my fault he is Muslim. He has my money (which I will not hold my breath) and promised me that he would get my file and refund my money to me when I called him on his mobile (when it had been posted on here). He does not answer mobile any more, to me anyway.

If this works for you good. Imran H's number is 07872 324460.:A

For you newbies, PLEASE do NOT undermine what most people on this forum have and are still going through.

a message for user mal_rafiq:
you are not malik rafiq. you are just an idiot who is trying to cause friction between nasir ilyas and malik rafiq. that is unfair. why are you bringing nasir ilyas's personal life into this. this forum is for the people who have lost their money in thier dealings with WH. What need is there to bring somebodies private life into this. people dont need to know about that. you are simply a jealous brat who has nothing better to do. so what if nasir ilyas is drining around in mercs and bentleys. that is his problem not yours. why dont you work for your merc/bentley.
this forum has an objective. please stick to it.
i know both nasir ilyas and malik rafiq. malik rafiq would you write comments like these.
get a life!

Nasir Ilyas personal life is my business since he stole £41K of my money. I am certainly not driving around in anything only driving myself mad with worry!

So go and get a life. This is about freedom of speech and people's right to be informed if YOU do not like it then don't come on here.

It seems my case with the LCC is just one of 116! I recieved emailed updates from a Helen Bingham who received nothing from Wolstenholmes. Eventually, she has resorted to forwarding my complaint to a 'Complaints Centre'. Has anyone had any joy from here?

I am also one of the 116 of LCC cases :mad:

We have been trying to get our file from Stirling Law since the 22nd December.
Have given up now and starting all over again with a local solicitor. Have also tried DWF to see if they had the file but no response to my email as yet!!

In response to Sloughflint - in particular that 'moongate has gone quiet'

well as i have previsously said, i have a job - not within the law sector - and being an ex-employee and knowing what they are like, i was trying to help people, especially people who are not local. Well i am not going to come on here and just spout crap - so i am sorry if i am quiet but thats because nothing has happened particuarly over the weekend. But if you are trying to make something out of it, by assuming that i am not on here because i have something to hide - then wrong!! i won't bother passing on further information. For the record i have nothing to hide i was only trying to help - so good luck to everyone and goodbye.

I was referring to the fact that you had not answered any of my questions. You were positive about Gavin Wall earlier on in the thread and clearly had much inside knowledge. You could have perhaps tipped the balance of negativity......or maybe not.

Same here re DWF. Did Stirling Law confirm that they had your file or not? I thought it was only some of the conveyancing files that had gone to Stirling Law but yesterday I learned that the probate files had gone "somewhere" too. In the two phone conversations I had with IH in December he refused to tell me whether my file was still at Wolstenholmes or not, despite admitting that Wolstenholmes had engaged the services of another firm to help with the "excess workload". If Stirling Law or whichever firm has our files is not contacting us then this is becoming more serious by the minute.

ok I am a solicitor and I have spoken to the Solicitor Regulation Authority (SRA) today. The official solicitors acting in the intervention of this firm is DWF LLP tele. 0161 603 5000. Contact name Mr Walshe. I would advise that you do not instruct any of the firms that are mentioned on this site to do your work due to the various links that have been made. These are as follows:-
1. Helen Murgatroyd (HM) one of the suspended solicitors from Wolstenholmes (W) was a member of Chartbridge Law LLP (C) until it went a while back. She was in business with a man called Schofield (RS).
2. RS was made bankrupt for £1.1 million in June 2009 at the Oldham County Court - this is on public records and is also on the SRA website as he now has a restriction on his practicing certificate - he is not allowed to run a firm. Look him up on the SRA site!!
3. C traded from Greengate Business Centre, Greengate Oldham OL4 1FN until it went into administration
4. RS is listed on the Law Society website as working at Megsons LLP - trading address Greengate Business Centre, Greengate Oldham OL4 1FN (same as old address for C)
5. Stirling Law trading address is Greengate Business Centre, Greengate Oldham OL4 1FN (sound familiar?? - yes same address again)
6. Assistant Solicitor at C was Abbie P (shown on Law Society page under Stirling Law), was then an Assistant Solicitor at Megsons LLP and is now listed as being with Sterling Law

so we have Stirling claiming the files of Wolstenholmes with HM being one of the suspended solicitors from that firm having been a partner of C with RS. The trading address for all these firms is the same (except W of course) - draw your own conclusions!!! All of this information is available on public websites so feel free to check the accurancy of this information.

Another link is the phone number posted for Stirling being 0161 624 5777 - someone has traced it to a firm called Ramsdens Firthwhitehead...... this firm was RSs firm before it became C

I repeat my advice - only use the firm the SRA have appointed to intervene for your own protection.

Not all solicitors are bad - people like these give the profession a bad name and I am sorry for everyone who has been affected by this!!

Hi

I was told that my file had been transferred from Birmingham to Heald Green - no luck there trying to get it even thought we were prepared to go in for it. Then advised it had gone to Stirling Law. Despite numerous calls to them they have never got back to me and could not actually confirm that they had my file. They just said they had lists of what they were supposed to have, promised to check the list and get back to me but never did. Even if I was on their list I doubt that they would have been able to find the file. After visiting Heald Green office to try and get our deposit back you could see what chaos they worked in - files and paper everywhere!!!!

This is an alternative number for Stirling Law, I was given this during one of my telephone calls - not sure if it will help - 0161-785-7847.
