Just received a cold call from Express Law stating that "Councils are taking away peoples homes to pay for their care", told the telesales girl that I was not interested but she said that a representative would be in my area (Orpington/Bromley) at 2pm on Monday 27th February. Again I declined this meeting!

I work for express law and what all of you say is fabrication! we offer 1 hours worth of free legal advice ... What you do with that information is up to you! We also are NOT a law firm we are a bespoke will and trust specialist firm! If you are on tps you will still receive our calls as it's a awareness call giving out a hour free advice we are not selling you anything on the phone! All this hate and rumours is by Christine crombie who use to work there and got sacked for hiring and firing!

Anon Thankyou for your comments. No-one said that you were selling anything on the phone, just scaremongering potential clients and when they have a visit from your company, it can be a very expensive visit.  

People are on the TPS for a good reason! They don't wish to receive your calls, awareness or otherwise. Isn't it true that you gain Customer's information from Telephone Directories and you don't actually pay for the data as you claim?

Are your Telesales staff that empowered that they can hire and fire?

Thankyou for reading.

To all Readers, the below story is by the Nottinghamshire County Council Trading Standards: https://www.nottinghamshirealert.co.uk/da/370 ... trust_scam.html

Will writing / prosperity trust scam

Nottinghamshire Trading Standards would like to advise residents of a new scam and to remind them to stay vigilant when dealing with unexpected telephone and personal visitors.
Residents have reported being cold called by telephone by sales staff who then go on to worry pensioners into setting up an appointment with a rep about their concerns over the potential cost of future care home fees.

The trader claims that they can set up a ‘family prosperity trust’ for you in order to avoid your house being sold to cover your care needs in later life.

The sales staff convince residents to sign up by exploiting a scenario that is of great concern to pensioners and then arrange an agreement for a trust document to be drawn up to protect the resident – costing from anything between £1000 and £3500. It is believed the document may not be as watertight as marketed, thus potentially leaving the householders property still at risk to the problem the trust is supposed to guard against.

If you have recently received an unsolicited call from a trader matching this description please contact Nottinghamshire Trading Standards on 01623 452005 or email trading.standards@nottscc.gov.uk.

Trading Standards never recommend employing a trader based on a cold call.  If you are suspicious of a cold caller operating in your area please contact Consumer Direct, the Government's phone and online consumer advice service on 08454 04 05 06.

Thankyou for reading.

To all Readers, the below story is from The Mail: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/money/investing/ar ... fear-death.html

Unscrupulous: The disturbing industry profiting from our fear of death

A fear of dying or going into care has spawned a growing and, as Money Mail has uncovered, disturbing industry.

Unscrupulous financial advisers are getting away with fleecing vulnerable pensioners — often for their entire life savings. Sam Dunn and James Salmon investigate.

Going into care can be a stressful time for those moving into a home. It can also be a huge strain on families, who have made the heart-wrenching decision that their parent, or elderly relative, is no longer able to look after themselves. But this also makes pensioners vulnerable to unscrupulous salespeople.

(Vulnerable pensioners: On average care home fees are £2,163 a month, leaving elderly people and their families to worry about how to pay for them)

These vultures play on their fears of selling the family home, or seeing it snatched by the council to pay for care costs, or of dying without a will, or leaving the family with huge funeral costs.

A major part of the problem is the sky-high cost of care homes and the worry families have about how this will be paid for — and whether you can get financial help from the State. On average, care home fees are £2,163 a month.

-------

CARE FEES AVOIDANCE SCAMS

Some companies prey on pensioners’ fear of losing their home when they go in to care. They claim to be able to stop the sale of a home to pay for care fees by putting it into a trust.

These unregulated firms claim this will protect the home from being sold to pay for the owner’s care fees as, since the house is in trust, it will effectively be disregarded.

However, local authorities have the power to void such schemes if they believe they were designed specifically to avoid paying the bills. Worse, this offer also tends to involve an upfront fee of more than £1,000, which the family won’t be able to get back.

There is no time limit on how far back a council can look to see if you gave away your house to avoid care costs. Part of the reason so many pensioners have been convinced to lock their money into investment bonds is because sometimes these can be exempt from means-testing.

---------

RIP-OFF WILL-WRITING SERVICES

Most people want to ensure as much of their estate as possible is passed to their loved ones when they die. But the good intentions of many are often rendered worthless because they cut corners with will-writing services.

The Legal Ombudsman says thousands of largely older people are being ripped off by firms offering unregulated will-writing. It can cost between £60 to £100 to write a will — but some OAPs can pay hundreds for a similar service if they use the wrong law firm.

Adam Sampson, chief Legal Ombudsman for England and Wales, has called for action to be taken to ensure consumers are not left vulnerable by unregulated services. Many legal services, including will-writing, can be done by unqualified — and unregulated — individuals and companies.

No we use bought data! And it is legal to call tps if you are making a awareness call so wether you agree with it or not it is legal. We go area by area. I know for a fact we do not scare old people! If I get a oap on the phone who clearly can't understand or is a bit deaf ect I tell them to have a good day and hang up. When we go to clents houses we give free legal advice of course we are going to try and sell them our products though it's how people make a living and peole can always say no or ask them to leave. I find it very sad that you believe everything bad you hear, we have many happy customers and of course we have some unhappy customers but doesn't all businesses? And yes Christine crombie thought she was that empowered hence why she got the boot!

This is not the experience we had with Express Law, can you tell me why the Salesperson processed the paperwork before the arranged meeting with us so we could check what was being sold to my Brother. When I contacted Doncaster Trading Standards they advised me they were aware of Express Law & were not sure if Express Laws paperwork was even legal, the sevice being offered could even be classed as defrauding the Govemant of funding to care for elderly people.

Doncaster even contacted Hertfordshire & Berkshire Trading Standards office on my Brothers case.

I have nothing but praise for KW without them we would not have achieved what we did.

I have been trying to get money back from Express law for over 2 months now for a mis-sold service (Transfer Of Equity & lasting power Of Attorney.) One of my parents has dementia and would not have understood any of it. They do not reply -to emails or return phone calls. They have 2 addresses that appear to be on industrial estates. Has anyone visited to try to sort matters face to face? As a previous comment made, the fee (upfront) was 3 or 4 times what it should have been,

Anon Thankyou for your comments. As you are a member of staff at Express Law Ltd based in Doncaster, can you confirm to us the reason why your Company, Consultants and Legal Team are no longer members of the Society of Will Writers as poster 'DJ' earlier stated. The logo has gone from your website and you can no longer be found in a search on the SWW's website.

Thankyou for reading.

And yeah I sit on my [***] but I'm earning 500 on average a week so I'm not complaining haha!

deepthroat replies to Anon - 14 Mar 2012
Maybe if you were more mature you would appreciate the nick (hope so for you sake)

But i am not suprised you avoid contact with those people who have a legimate grievance.

Mo etc, and as for complaints, a tiny minority are made here.

Maybe you should take 'deepthroat' in the nixon way, rather than your sexually perverse way?
