We too have been well and truly ripped off by this Company - we have sent several emails and made or should say tried to make several phone calls - we handed our money over in February last year.
Does this mean we have lost our money or wil we be abe to get it back.0 -

Hi we too have been ripped off by this firm for £2400 they told us that they could write off our loans saving us £400 a month they told us to stop paying the loan companies back in september and now we have recieved a letter to say they are taking us to court to repossess our house .We have spoken to the ministry of justice today and they have sent me an email but its very confusing does anybody know what we should be doing next to try and get some money back ?0 -
Hi, after receiving the email from the Ministry of Justice I am now in the process of 'trying' to claim the money back through the credit cards I used to pay this company (under section 75).0

what complete and utter rubbish. That has not happened and all you have done is make this company look even worse as it looks like they are now getting their staff/sales reps to self advertise on this site.
You are a liar and a fraud.0 -

i was contacted again and again last year around october, my farther was rushed into hospital at the time and i was self employed and he used to help me out so i was under a lot of pressure trying to cope with everything, i have a kind of timeshare (points thing) that i was suckered into having and was realy trying to get out of it ,i also had a couple of credit cards with balances on them. the director of the FA came on the phone and said he had 80 weeks of timeshares all payed up and offered some advice on the timeshare and said i could have some of his weeks for free, he would sign them over and i just take over the management fees, sounds nice!! after several phonecalls and a bit of talking to the MOJ who said they had had no reports of them so could be ok, this was october 2010 by the way, i made an appointment and Anita Savage came around to my house in november, i went through the paperwork of the credit cards and the timeshare loan but she said they couldn't do anything about the timeshare one, but the credit cards were easy she said, we talked about my father being ill and joked about other things and all seemed well, she wrote her personal mobile number on my reciept for the £820 i payed, just to make me feel more secure about it. she took a statement from each of my credit cards and said they would send them back in the post , i got a letter in the post a few weeks later but no statements, and thats it! i thought i wouldn't bother them as i have a piece of paper telling me the timescale procedure so when it gets to that time i will ring,and my father passed away just before christmas so wasnt upto dealing with it,i decided last week to chase it up only to find out the phone number doesnt work or e-mails and anita's number is just an orange answerphone, mint!!!!! i contacted the MOJ again and they sent me a information sheet by e-mail, and i've contacted the credit card companies today to make a claim about a fraudulant transaction, they are sending me some forms to fill in but it doesn't feel right trying to get the credit card company to give me the money back for a company that were trying to get all my debts erased from them. what do i say on the form? ??what were the FA were doing for me ",they were trying to stiff you for the money i owe you" or do i say they were trying sort the timeshare loan? my dad left me a bit of money but those pieces of work have basicly nicked that in a round about way, sweeet!0

I got ripped off by these con artists.
They took £495 from me last january, my husband chased them up for months only to be told all kinds of excuses. When we found out they had ceased trading I contacted my credit card supplier to see if I could claim the money back under section 75.
Turns out that I can't because when they took my payment they gave me a receipt that said Global Travel not Financial Arbitration. My credit card supplier wanted some proof that they were the same company but unfortunately I didn't have any as I don't even know myself.
I am of course kicking myself now for not smelling a rat when they gave me the receipt with a completely different company name to who they said they were.
Does anybody elses receipt say Global Travel? and has anyone managed to get their money back from their credit card under section 75?0
