Thank you Grey sage we will, been in touch with the police and they are not interested. say its a civil case. To me its fraud and to all the other poor people that's being lead to believe they are  saving there house or whatever the case maybe.

Hi again, I have been given the phone no for this absolute company and had a lady get in touch with me about them, saying they are dealing with her issue. I have told her to be carful as they are in the same place as Alana Benson. The trouble is the conniving [***] could be on here as a alias and we would never no. number for ABSOLUTE RECOVERY IS 01302 572701 and ask for Luke Blay  apparently he sounded quite genuine

so is this saying she is part of Absolute recovery?

No, I don't think Alana Benson is "part of" Absolute Recovery Ltd. She is a client of theirs. They specialise in winding up companies and Benson has used them to wind up 3 companies and walk away. She was also made personally bankrupt in 2009. She will have started up another company so that she can keep on scamming without interruption.

June O’Meara:
Don’t know the details of the individual dealings in your case but you say that the Police have already dismissed it as a civil matter.  Did they not even consider submitting it to the Crown Prosecution Service for guidance.   There certainly seems to be ‘prima facie’ evidence on previous contributors’ writings which indicate fulfilling the terms of the Fraud Act 2006 (and in fact in the past several persons have been successfully prosecuted and given prison sentences).  Basically the law is that if someone attempts to obtains monies or unlawful gain from you by deception then that is theft (fraud).  If any part of what was said or claimed which made you part with your monies was false then that would normally be materially damning and contribute to a theft by deception (fraud) case.  I would anticipate that previous behaviour would be considered by the Police because it shows the historic pattern, the Modus Operandii, of setting up companies, cold calling, taking money for services not provided, moving address, having companies closed down, etc.  Have a read of Sections 2, 11 and 12 of the Fraud Act.  A basic requirement in fraud is that the fraudster must be ‘dishonest’, the definition of dishonesty is from what they call Case Law: in this case R v Ghosh 1982 “the first question is whether a defendant’s behaviour would be regarded as dishonest by the ordinary standards of reasonable and honest people” (which leads to a second question).  I cannot  help feeling that enough is enough with the prominent Indeed Law Ltd personnel; the authorities we rely on to protect us from these people and this behaviour are letting us down here.  Trading Standards have information but it has not been utilised to bring about a prosecution.   Surely the Police or Action Fraud need to take some action.  If all else fails the whole lot needs taking up with the MP(s) for the area(s) the offences were committed.  Perhaps the view of the Liquidator as to whether criminal fraud has occurred could be sought.  The contributer ‘PI Jon’ indicated he/she was previously liaising with Police and Action Fraud, what was the outcome.  There is a registered charity called Fraud Advisory Panel.  The Legal Ombudsman deals mainly with complaints against legally qualified personnel but does have power to deal with non-qualified ‘paralegals’ such as Indeed Law Ltd .   As it happens, Police Sgt Caroline Broughton of Lincs Police was on the television news only last night, calling it serious organised crime;  on the same news item, about cold-calling/unsolicited mail scams, it was referred to by a victim’s relative as major crime on an industrial scale.  You may recollect that Benson’s company Charterhouse Legal Ltd was on the the government Information Commissioner’s Office, Nuisance Calls And Messaging Dept, published list as being monitored because of concerns about compliance at level of ‘Enforcement Action Possible’

Grey Sage:
Congratulations on discovering so quickly after the event that Indeed Law Ltd is being dissolved, no wonder no-one could find a new address for it.

Hi, I'm a bit confused about Indeed Law going into liquidation. I had an email today from Companies House advising that a change of registered address document had been filed. This company scammed my dad out of £4,500 last year but I took Benson on and eventually got it back for him. When I contacted Action Fraud the police were very interested so maybe try again June.

The change of registered address is to "1st Floor Block a Loversall Court Clayfields Tickhill Road Balby Doncaster South Yorkshire DN4 8QG" This is the liquidator's address.
Of more interest is the document filed 2 days ago (11/1/17) which is the liquidator's "Statement of Affairs". This shows 63 creditors, owed a total of £73,446.24 and the fact that there is no money in the company to pay them. The 63 creditors are just the ones who have made themselves known to the liquidator. There are likely to be may more.

Creditors of Indeed Law Ltd of note include Alana Benson herself who has 2 claims of £4,500 and £1000.  Her address is given, of course, as C/O Absolute Recovery Ltd. Secondly Lincolnshire have a claim of £1,604.86 which suggests that she skipped town without paying the rent on the Oak House office, and HMRC with a claim of £12,073.07 which suggests that she wasn't paying her taxes.

Thanks for this info, I received another email from Companies House today (I made a request to monitor the company) and whilst I haven't ordered the documents filed, they appear to be liquidation documents. I find it unbelievable that Alana Benson can set up one company after another conning people out of their money, some of whom are very vulnerable. I was lucky and have some knowledge of particular legislation that helped get my dad's money back otherwise he'd have been just another victim to add to the long list. Let's hope that at some point things catch up with this ruthless con artist.

To all Readers,

C W, Can you help please

Certificate Of Incorporation of 4Solar shows: Initial Shareholding:  Martin Smith, Townfield Villas, Doncaster and Andrew Young 9 Waggoners Close, Scotter, Gainsborough.   Agent: Companies Made Simple, 145-157 St John Street, London.  Subscribers:  Martin Smith and Andrew Young.  The appointment of director of Twistfox Ltd shows Dan Young, with date of birth of 31/5/1990, service address of 145-157 St John Street, London.  Other director is Peter Heath, 17 Kingfisher Close, Brigg, dob 19/5/1971  Agent:  Companies Made Simple, 145-157 St John Street, London.  Andrew Young is shown as director of Express Law with dob as Feb 1974 and correspondence address of 145-157 St John Street, London.  The company registered office given as1 West Moor Park, Armthorpe, Doncaster.  Address of Andrew Young on Directors’ page (page 3)  gives 9 Waggoners Close, Gainsborough with dob as 1/1/1980.  On ‘Change Of Particulars Of Directors’ page (Form CH01) it refers to Andrew Young dob 16/2/1974.  On the Incorporation Certificate of MYBPA Ltd a company director (page 2) is shown as Andrew Young 145-157 John Street, London, with a dob of 24/5/1971.  Agent Companies Made Simple.  (Another director is Peter Heath as above).   Do you know how many Andrew Youngs there really are here ?
Andrew Francis Young and Peter Heath are, of course, directors of Lifestyle Conservatories Ltd, agent Companies Made Simple, address changed in Nov 2016 to Knight House, Arkwright Way, Scunthorpe. Now where did I hear that address before .... oh yes  ..... its being used, allegedly, by Countrywide Law Ltd whose director is Micheal Carter who worked (works?) with Alana Benson at Indeed Law Ltd.
Carter’s website says: “....to serve the residents of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire ....”. Currently looking for “additional groups, clubs and associations who would benefit from receiving our free, group talk presentation relating to our products and services. The presentation would suit the likes of village or church groups and organisations......”.  The number for Guardian Legal Ltd, 0330 088 2839, connects not at Huntingdon but somewere else..  Actually, Guardian Legal, says the telephone answerer, is at Arkwright Way, Scunthorpe, although “our other  branch’ is at Huntingdon and it consists of the same personnel as what it calls its ‘sister company’ Countrywide Law.  What is the matter with these people, they couldn’t lie straight in bed?  On its internet page it says it has paralegals in the plural yet only two paragraphs further on it refers to its paralegal in the singular – and if that is just a grammatical mistake, imagine what difficulty that could cause written in somebody’s Will by an ‘expert’.

Steer clear of this outfit.  https://www.countrywidelaw.co.uk/ Check out the website for the clues.  Spelling mistakes. No physical address. Address given, Kemp House, 160 City Road  London EC1V 2NX is bogus. It is a "virtual office" which disguises where they operate from. They claim to have years of experience but the company was only formed on 27 Jul 2016. The sole director is Micheal Carter.   "..our experienced network of advisers.." are not named nor are their qualifications made clear.  Alana Benson has gone dark.
A previous company called Countrywide Law was set up in 25 Aug 2010 by Andrew Young and Martin Smith. It was struck off 19 Mar 2013.

Do not let them into your home.  Do not pay them any money.

"Alana Benson has gone dark" possibly due to the actions of Twistfox, and Dan Young, who offer "Negative Content Monitoring" and to "Repair & restore a damaged or tarnished reputation"

they were told 2yrs ago but did nothing the fraud squad at york council are looking into it they have taken statements from me and loads of other people

get in touch w ith york council fraud dept they looking into other cases

just been told that benson has been interviewed  by york fraud and they expect to intview here again.But because the amount of compaits it will take a while just keep fingers crossed they get them all that are involved.Twenty years in prison wont be enough

We have loads of information about Alana Benson and her cronies maybe worth giving the fraud team a call?
