Blemain Finance are they a legitimate company?

I have just noted on another site that there has been over 11,000 users raise concerns with reference to the following committed by a company called Blemain Finance who have subsidiary companies. This involves Bullying and intimidation; repossession of property using illicit practices; falsehood and misinforming the judiciary in order to obtain properties; malpractices used by employees in order to obtain funds or assets; astronomical service fees and default penalties; false claims and charges made against clients. Then there is concern about the coveted/unethical practices such as misinforming customers or not providing customers with information pertaining to agreements taken out with third parties by Blemain.

Considering that some of these practices are unethical and do not meet the requirements of the Ombudsman or Consumer Regulators has this company ever been investigated based on the level of complaints?

I need to know because I have for the last 6 years been attempting to hold on to my property following actions taken by Blemain. I have been taken to court and on each occasion managed to defer orders for repossession. How is it that the Courts are aware that this is a company known for not being "charitable" and why are they still able to continue doing business using methods associated with loan sharks and now illegal?

Who is behind Blemain Finance?

    There is nothing in the Business World which requires a company to be "charitable" toward it's clients.

    They may well get a rollocking from the Ombudsmen and regulators but I guess they are happy to take one for the team and continue their sharp practices

    You would hope though with over 11,000 complaints that people would no longer use their services and they would eventually go under.
