Wolstenholmes!!!! Beware!!!

Options
:mad: My partener and I appointed Wolstenholmes to do our conveyancing on 2nd july then on the 3rd we cancled as we read some bad things about them through this fourm (Thank God) when we cancled they told us they will not be taking our £300!!!! off of our credit card. THEY DID!!! they have not sent us anything so it was't because they thought we were using them!!!!
On the 10th july they unlawfully took £300!!!! off our card, we have beed contacting them since 4th aug when we relised they stole our money, still nothing but today the lady who took our card details at the begining (lucky we took her name) said we shoul have it bu cheque by the end of the week!!!

I contacted the legal complants services and have sent off the forms!!!

    When I bought a property, our EA recommended Wolstenholmes to do conveyancing work. a few phone calls made to them think they are not good as i cannot speak to PS or solicitor at anytime. so i decide to move to SAS Daniels and they are the BEST!! completed purchase ontime and moved to new house.

  • I agree,

    I went with wolthemstomes about a week ago and cancelled two days later after reading the negative feedback. Even before reading the bad posts they come across so un professional its un true!

    Bunch of cowboys! AVOID!!!

    Khryul Islam was the person who took my money and also laughed when i said why dont u reply to my email about refund!.

    Everytime i phone the "Fiancne" team it goes to voicemail. Thats laura and Migid. So frustrating im still chasing my refund with no avail!!

    DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!! - ITS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!
  • Further to my note incase it helps

    Magid said a cheque will be sent and im in the "list" as a lot of "property's" have falled thru... more like a lot of ppl want there money back

    Magid 0161 4981894

    Laura - 0161 4981895

    Magid does seem to answer his phone but when he says he will call you back he wont...

    I been chasing it every day 3 or 4 times a day and he said a cheque will be sent. I will wait a week for this so called "cheque" and see what happens!!!

    Last thing u want when moving home.

    Hi all,

    Hopefully you won’t all shoot me down straight away, but I’m from Wolstenholmes and wanted to take this opportunity to apologise for the service each of you have received. I’ll be honest with you, I’m new to the company and I, along with a number of new staff have been brought in to help resolve any issues and really make improvements to the client experience.

    I appreciate that most of you have not been happy with Wolstenholmes Solicitors, hence the reason why you’ve posted here, but we really want to make a change and improve the service we deliver to our clients…starting with you.

    I know a lot of you have left messages/voicemails and if your case still hasn’t been resolved please can you PM me with details and I will try my best to get things moving as fast as possible for you.

    Thanks,

    Nazma
    ***I no longer work for Wolstenholmes so can no longer help with any complaints...thanks to all that PM-ed me and good luck to anyone with an ongoing issue***

    Hi again,

    As I said before, if anyone still has an ongoing problem please PM me details and I will try my best to get it resolved asap.

    I'd like to stress again that we do take complaints very seriously and although you may not see it, behind the scenes we're working really hard to put processes in place and correct any past mistakes.

    Thanks,

    Nazma
    (on behalf of Wolstenholmes)
