  • The director of this company is a Nicholas John Stephen Harle. He became director on 16 March. (His predecessor was there for only a few months).

    He is also the sole director of Claim Credit Services Limited (CRM14826) and a company called Homeowner Review Limited which he incorporated about six weeks ago.

    It looks like he may be phoenixing his businesses.


    Thank you for this information.
    Do you know if Credit Clear Services is anything to do with him as well?

  • I just read an article in the Mirror Blogs because yes I am one of those idiots who signed up to Consortium Reclaim.

    Having had no communications from them since 1st August 2012, I became concerned and starting thinking why not....

    Some of my info had been passed to Credit Clear Services (as already mentioned in these posts), so I called them today and the nice girl told me that CR are not answering any calls. Alarm bells started to ring and when I read the link below, I almost fell of my chair.....

    A short extract is;

    UPDATE 3/11/12. Consortium Reclaim is going into liquidation.

    Because I can't post the link, Go and google "Consortium Reclaim leaves debtor worse off" and it should point you to the blogs mirror site. I for one now feel pretty silly and have put a call into the Insolvency people to start the pain of trying to get my money back.

  • i would love to hear from anyone else who has run a claim with them too?

    Hi there,

    I'm one of the fools who used them... I just posted some update news at the end of this thred and am now persuing them with vengance.....

    You may just be in time to do a chargeback on the card it was taken from. I suggest you call the issuer immediately.
  • I foolishly signed up to them for £1000 for a Credit card claim. I was a bit woried at the time but there was such a lot of contact with them telling me how my claim was progressing I became less worried.
    Now I have found out that they have ceased trading.
    I am trying to contact them but so far no good.

    I think that I have kissed my money goodbye.

    Go to your credit card provider from where you paid this money and advise them that you did not receive a service from this company and under section 75 of the consumer credit act you should be able to apply for a refund. Whether this works with a company that has gone into administration I am not sure but it is worth a try.

    This is the details for the administrator with a statement from Mr Harle himself:-

A form of proxy must be duly completed and lodged together with a written statement of claim at Sharma & Co, 257 Hagley Road, Birmingham B16 9NA not later than 12.00 noon on the preceding day of the meeting if you wish to vote at the meeting.

    If I may clarify for anyone expressing concerns: Credit Clear Services Ltd, was established 5 years ago and is a non customer facing company who takes Claims cases from many introducing Claims Management Companies, Consortium being one: We provide Audit, case packaging and process to try and reach resolve for the client. We are not party to the terms or fees that people pay to these companies, but we try to remain accessible by providing email update facilites and we do take many phone calls from clients who express concerns. We are not linked in any way to Consortium or any other CMC other than the agreement for them to pass cases to us for processing. Consortium are not the first company to get wound up, but if your case is with us we will continue to provide the process we comitted to when accepting the case. We are aware of another company similarly named, Claim Credit Services, but this is not connected to us either.

    To The Director of CCS
    Please also can we have your name?

    Are any of the current directors on Consortium, Directors on your present company Credit Clear Services Ltd or have they been Directors in the past at any time?

    Being that you trade from the same address did you share an office with them?

    What is the current situation now that Consortium have gone into administration are you now actively continuing where they left off by actively cold calling to get your leads?

  • Milly88 - I am happy to clarify your query.

    I am posting on here because I am sole Director of Credit Clear Services Ltd. - We are based in Poole, Dorset.

    Not to be confused with a company set up this year called : Claim Credit Services Ltd, who are a new Claims Company offering financial review to consumers, but I understand this company is based in Wales.

    We are not connected : with either Consortium or Claim Credit Services. The Companies have not shared Directors or addressesat any time.

    If you go on Companies house website and do a webcheck on the company name it will confirm who is who.

    As previously said "Credit Clear Services" are not customer facing, so we dont cold call, we dont even have clients, we simply process claims cases to settlement for other Claims Companies.

    We have not recevied any formal notice, but as far as we know Consortium have stopped trading.
