I have had a cold call from Direct Law of Kirk Sandal, Doncaster.
Are they a dodgy outfit?
The number was private.

What are you ? And who are you ?

So if you know Gerrys where abouts email me on michellekent46@gmail.com you will not be involved i need my own justice any info greatfully recived

DirectLaw4u called my elderly mother in law recently and arranged a home visit. Long story short... signed up to House Trust and Will writing for the princely sum of £1,400.00 Thankfully we got to hear about it in time for her to be able to cancel the cheque. The information on this thread was enormously helpful as the details of this company don't seem to be appearing elsewhere on the net apart from moneysavingexpert.com who were also helpful.

Barton did a runner to Australia. He was exposed by an Australian TV company a couple of years ago. He was still up to his old tricks. Hang around the Lincolnshire area long enough and I'm sure he will show up.

Here it is:

Still want to know where Gerry Barton is

Read the posts directly above yours. Do you find walking and talking at the same time difficult?

To all readers
This is what Charter legal/Directlaw4u  are doing Please be aware.

The people that are named in the article and who have been convicted, once worked with the Directors of Minster Legal in Gainsborough until they were closed down.
Then they parted ways and started Express Law of Doncaster and now Charter Legal of Lincoln and Directlaw4u.

Thankyou for reading.

As usual kw. You are full of excrement and lie constantly. The people in this article have nothing to do with the companies you mention.
Why do you constantly come out with false statements and accusations?
Any chance of an answer or will you hide behind your stock comments?!

To Truth thank you for your comments,
Feel free to explain why these are lie's. Didn't Andrew Young, Alana Benson, Melissa Barnes and Martin Smith of Charter Legal of Lincoln and Directlaw4u, all work with Joseph Croft and Joy Bell at Minster Legal in Gainsborough two of the people mentioned in the article or not?

Thank you for reading.

To all Readers,

A scam is a type of fraud that criminals use to trick you into giving them money and personal details. Sometimes criminals will use the names of law firms, solicitors or other individuals regulated by us to make their scam seem genuine, either with or without their knowledge. Contact us immediately if you think that a firm, solicitor or other individual regulated by us is involved. More info at: http://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/problems/fraud-dishonesty/scams.page

Please see details below of Andrew Young's latest venture:
MYBPA LTD - https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09178478

Andrew Young has used 2 Solicitors to assist with the setting up of this business:
Jonathan Ippazio De Vita & Christopher John Platt (both partners of Quality Solicitors De Vita Platt)

However, this solicitors practice has only been opened since May 2014 and now 'First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off' as of September 2015 - https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09061898/filing-history

I am so thankful I searched online for any information on such companies, however, it's another outfit we purchased from called Prestige Tax And Trust Services in Doncaster at Watervole Way, the gentleman (now a term used very lightly after spotting his name on this site) was called Jerry Carrington, if it weren't for this site we would have kept the products but luckily we saw it within the cooling off period and cancelled immediately. They called us from 08007879001. How these companies sleep at night knowing they've taken thousands of pounds of peoples hard earned money is beyond me.

To PR,
Thankyou for your comments, this is the reason for posting on here to warn others and we appreciate your addition.

These people have been operating this type of business for approx 20 years and probably likely to do another 20.

https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/search/companies?q=08427566  note same company number as Prestige Law UK is a trading name for Silver Rose Marketing Ltd. Registered in England and Wales – Company No. 08427566.

The Director Mr Andrew Hesketh is an ex-policeman who admitted to and was sentenced for committing fraud. Please see these news links: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2798539.stm and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2884645.stm

Thankyou for Reading.

That is appalling! The Director has been sentenced for committing fraud? When I research the company it mentions the Director being a Wendy Hesketh?

I also have 2 phone numbers for them, the one they gave me was 08007879001, there was also an 01302 number but Im not sure where I've put that
