Bridging Loan, with lots of curved balls! Not a problem for Lucy!

Bridging Loan, with lots of curved balls! Not a problem for Lucy! At probably the most stressful time of our lives Lucy Spollin not only worked tirelessly to get our bridging loan over the line but also communicated with us throughout every stage of the process. I am ocd at the best of times but Lucy, and Mia, ensured my concerns were answered, kept in contact, helped to keep us calm and worked their socks off to get everything completed within our deadline. I cannot thank Lucy enough and have no hesitation in recommending Lucy to anyone buying or selling a property.

TRETHOWANS — IS THIS REALLY WORTH THE DAMAGE TO YOUR REPUTATION?

Why is a respected law firm involved in pursuing historic and very much contested contractor loans that raise such serious questions about the original arrangements, the evidence and the right to recover these sums? Trethowans, West 28th Street Limited and Ethica Resolve Limited need to answer some fundamental questions. Were these alleged debts properly verified? Were previous settlements checked? Was the legal ownership of each debt established? And were contractors ever given a clear understanding that payments made through these arrangements could one day be demanded back? The answer is no. Many contractors understood these payments to be a way of receiving remuneration for work undertaken, not debts they would face years later. Surely a solicitor's professional reputation is worth more than simply pursuing a client's demands without answering legitimate questions about the evidence? These are not just numbers on a spreadsheet. They concern people's lives their financial security, families and wellbeing. The wider contractor-loan controversy has had a devastating human impact, and the distress of those affected for so many years must not be dismissed. Trethowans should explain what checks were undertaken. West 28th Street should substantiate the debts it claims to own. Ethica Resolve should clarify its role in administering these claims. If the debts are valid, show the evidence. If they have been settled, acknowledge it. All claims are disputed, so investigate them properly. A demand letter is not proof that money is owed. People deserve answers, not intimidation or uncertainty. TRETHOWANS: WHAT DUE DILIGENCE WAS DONE, AND WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS PROCESS WITHOUT CLEAR ANSWERS? Professional integrity, transparency and accountability should never be optional.

Reputation at risk?

Disappointing to see Trethowans involved in these claims. Trethowans’ involvement in pursuing historic alleged loan debts on behalf of West 28th Ltd raises serious questions. These claims relate to contractor remuneration arrangements dating back years, and many affected individuals have already settled their tax liabilities with HMRC. West 28th has acquired the alleged debts through a chain of transfers involving Felicitas, yet demands continue over arrangements dating back decades. Trethowans should seriously consider the reputational implications of pursuing these claims. Professional integrity is about more than representing a client; it also requires sound judgement and accountability. When the circumstances surrounding historic claims raise so many questions, the evidence deserves proper scrutiny. A firm’s reputation takes years to build, but the decisions it makes today can undermine it.

Approachable, patient, and supportive

From start to finish, you’ve always been approachable, patient, and incredibly supportive. No matter how many questions I had or how often I got in touch, you always took the time to explain things clearly and put my mind at ease, which made a huge difference during what has been a long and difficult process.
