Might as well burn your money in winter, at least it will keep you warm and help keep your heating bills down.

These third-party limited liability shysters make me mad anyway, but there should be no way on earth you can phoenix them. Why arnt the oversight authorities doing something about this!!!????

I think ( but I don't know the actual law ) that they are trying to pass themselves off as solicitors but daren't actually call themselves xxxxx Solicitors.


Looking at their website in difficult to read print at the bottom it mentions this firm of solicitors.


http://www.allansons.com/


Now reading their 'about us' they bought a firm of solicitors called Boucher.


I suspect a tangled web of sleight of hand and trying to pull the wool over people's eyes.

Becuase that would be illegal. They would have to be registered with the Law Society wouldnt they and be subject to all that entails to do with client privilege and conflict of interest etc.

It's despicable and I dont know what the FSA, FOS or whoever the hell is responsible for trying to stop people getting ripped off, is doing about it but they should pull their finger out and make it simply illegal, end of story.

Having looked at their 'about us' page, it would appear that they only have one seat for everyone to sit in, apart from the top bod who judging by the bars on his window could be sat in a jail cell.

Hi, yes, I've ALSO been dealing with Gregson and Brooke for a couple of years and was beginning to get concerned the back end of last year after my account was moved over to Expert Money Solutions - but after all that time, had never received a statement, or how much money was going to my creditors - I was beginning to worry!....So I began investigating, and couldn't find their website, the telephone number changed, people kept avoiding my questions at Expert Money Solutions especially the one about where is my statement of the money paid in (£300 per calendar month!), I wasn't getting letters or chasers from both my creditors, so knew they were getting something. Eventually, I gave up, and after receiving a call from a Company warning me that Gregson and Brooke were acting fraudulantly, I then involved the CAB (they then referred me to the Financial Ombudsmen), of which I am now in complaint mode there. I have moved my DMP through to Payplan, of which I have my own online account, my creditors both recommended them after I called them to notify about the situation , and can clearly see where my money is split, not some of my money (which is perfect!). Just now got to get all the money owed to me from Gregson and Brooke which I think may take a while, but it is a lot! - Working out how much I have paid to them, I would have paid off my creditors by now, but that isn't the case. I just hope that this gets sorted, I am so stressed about all this. Payplan have been brilliant though, I cannot complain, it was a bit tedious at the beginning having to go through all the household income and expenditure with them, but they couldn't have been more helpful (they were referred to me by the Debt Management Helpline). Fingers crossed, this now all works out for me (and for you too!) Good luck!

having the same problem and trying to deal with them through fos who are saying they cannot release any funds or assets as they are now trading as gregson & brooke financial services bunch of ???? they have over £3000 of mine. All ive done is told my creditors if they want their money they can get it themselves from g&b and deal with all the ???? coz i ent loosing that money i cancelled payments to them and so far so good not heard a word in months you could just go find them personally they aint hard to find.

Gregson and Brooke advised me on many occasions I was paying a £35 admin fee I just discovered after expert money solutions took over that I have been paying £121 admin fee's!!!!! I was misguided and lied to. I gave expert money solutions the benefit of the doubt and said I will give you a couple of months to give me an accurate stance where my debt is ie any reductions in totals as promised. I phoned for an update to discover Boucher Law has now taken over!!! Exhausted and stressed is an understatement how can they get away with this, they r telling me that they will reclaim my money back which I have paid in admin fee's another lie I feel. I can't find my original agreement and find it strange when I go into my portal it doesn't show the fee's being deducted in my statement at all?? I'm moving now feeling very stupid but after paying £5500 in 2 1/2 years and only £150 paid to debts I want to track Mr Andrew Roy Brooke down but I don't think there is anything that can be done. Anybody had any success with issues?

This is so wrong, my sister in law was caught up in this and set her Debt Free Date back until 2018 from 2015! So unfair on these poor people.
