    If you type Suffolk Trust into the FSA register it comes up as Suffolk Life pensions?? Most probably nothing to do with this though?

    This is becoming more and more bizzare.

    If anyone wishes to make a complaint about Loancheck etc to the Ministry of Justice their Telephone number for the Monitoring & Compliance unit is
    0845 450 6858.

    Email Address [EMAIL="info@claimsregulation.gov"]info@claimsregulation.gov[/EMAIL]

    If everyone complains then maybe something will be done & some good will come out of this sorry mess by these rip off merchants being banned from doing it to someone else in the future.
  • i see peter has come back and is at long last answering a few questions. the thing i find frustrating is that he states on the watsons thread that he and his solicitor are looking into the terms of some agreements to see if the clients can walk away, i don't know about other people but i couldn't do that as if i did i will have now, after 2 years of being in limbo with solicitors, would be outside of the 6 years that you can claim back and i really don't know if i could trust the fact that i would not be liable for paying back the costs that my solicitor has incurred so far, which at the moment is about £25000, yes £25000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i wish peter could understand why people on here are so frustrated with him, i put my trust in him when he said that all my claims would be sorted out within a 6-9 month period, on a no win no fee, without any costs whatsoever to the client and now i have left it too late even if i could get out of the contract with my solicitor.
    seems the fact he is trying to sort something out for the future is like too little too late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am quite worried about all this. There are quite a few people that have gone through Peter with one company or another (how many are there?) and over the last 6 months of dealing with him he has always reassured me but then another month goes by!
    Has anyone had any luck with their claim?

    Hi pammy

    i don't blame you for being worried, is it not too late for you to pull out with peter dealing with your claim and trying to do it with the help of the posters on here?
    i had false promises from him for 8 months until he got it passed to loancheck and then a solicitor but trust me it then got even worse, i see he replied to you via this thread the other day, it'll be interesting to see if he is true to word this time and gets his solicitor to contact you.

    good luck hun

    Yes he did reply earlier on here as he has a new email. I was told that the solicitors were changing two months ago but then heard nothing. Apparently I will hear from them in a few days. I'll keep you all posted. I didnt know this thread was here.

    You write to your solicitor with a formal complaint and say that unless you hear within 7 days you will pass your complaint to the Law Society.

    Peter is not the client and therefor has no legal right to be taken seriously.

    I am pretty sure that the fees are totally unjustified and you should not have to pay anyone for negligent advice (see Wolstenholmes on this forum to find out what happens to negligent solicitors).

    If enough people complain it affects the solicitors professional indemnity insurance premium i.e.it goes up a lot and may even make the solicitor un-insurable.

    Without this they cannot practice

    But peter said earlier on the other thread

    I see my job as ensuring that solicitors receive cases that will be successful.

    If this the case then Peter sees Lesley's case as successful and obviously the solicitor is stalling for some reason OR for some reason does not see things petermb's way so who is at fault? Is it the solicitor or person handing over the clients that they see as successful claims? Surely the solicitors should have double checked each case as Loancheck were NOT solicitors and did not have legal training before accepting them and paying for them if they did????

    Either way Lesley needs to know and I would think that writing to them on her own (not involving petermb) is the best way if the solicitors see petermb as having no legal right as you say. Is this then because the case with the solicitor is contracted purely between solicitor and client and not solicitor, client and petermb? What a mess.
  • Isn't it about time that Petermb admitted that his pie in the sky idea of a totally ethical Claims Management Company will never Work.

    If anyone has any sense after reading this & the Watson's Thread they will avoid anything to do with both him & any of the companies involved.
