Saved the best person until last

The first year or so I wasn’t getting very far. Pushed from pillar to post, having new people take over my case. Weeks in between replies most of the time. Then in a couple of days I had a new person take my case, she gave me nothing but pure honesty and settled my case straight away. If only I had her from the beginning I believe it would have been a lot less stressful. Thank you Christina Burke! Me describing the form on the next part of this review is based on Christina alone…

Excellent service

I brought my case about the windows in my house being old, broken and causing mould. I didn’t know what to expect but Christina handled my case really well, explained everything to the me, she was really supportive and made sure I get the help. Christina was amazing all the way to the end, i could not stop thanking her for all the help and what she did. My housing has now got me new windows and thanks to Christina for making it possible for me.

ONGOING CLAIM ENQUIRY

I called today for an update regarding my ongoing claim. Sam was very helpful and answered all my questions clearly and procisely. Although I am no further forward with my claim at least I know where I am in the process.

Absolutely terrible, awful company. Scam, scam, scam. PCP claim which I was completely unsure about as the guy was so pushy. Ended up being reassured in to it. 2 years down the line barely heard a word. Ring them and get no call back. They sent me an email a few weeks ago which was only by chance u came across it. They could no longer proceed with my claim and they needed to pass to another solicitor where my insurance won't be moved across, they needed me to sign within 7 days to give them permission to move over. Called them and the guy that wrote the letter had left. Spoke to someone else who told me if I don't sign to move it to another solicitor I owe £4300! Yet they are the ones breaking contract by not proceeding because they don't have enough staff or evidence to win the claim! I went to read reviews and saw some poor lady signed to be moved over to another solicitor like they try and push you in to and she was then smacked with a massive bill because she had broken the contract by moving to another solicitor. In the current climate we are in this is absolutely disgraceful and disgusting service. This is being looked at legally and I would advise NO ONE to trust this company
