Buyer beware UK Money Solutions Ltd based in Swansea is a scam.
I was cold called on 14 April 2010 by and individual named Michael from the following number - 05601 *** *** representing a company called UK Money Solutions Ltd. Their company registration no is 07122429 and they list their registered office as 56 Wind Street, Swansea, SA1 1DF
They called to offer me a debt management service. I have established that they do not have a CCL number nor do they have a CRM number.
The director/s of the above businesses are the same directors who ran a company called 7 Marketing. (Reg No. 06604360) and another company Consumer Advice UK which was a style of 7 Marketing and used to cold canvass clients for PPI claims.
I was a client of Consumer Advice UK and was scammed by this company who took payment upfront for a service that was never delivered
The two main directors implicated in all of this are:- Stephen Davies - AKA - Stephen Mark Davies - AKA - Steve Davies Mark Hartson - AKA - Mark Peter Hartson
I have also established that Stephen Davies has registered a domain name as w w w ukmoneysolutions . info and has used the following as the registered address:- The Exchange Buildings, Adelaide Street, Swansea, SA1 1SE
Interestingly, this is the same address that was used for all correspondence with Consumer Advice UK.
I have been in touch with the Office of Fair Trading and they have confirmed to me that UK Money Solutions Ltd does not hold a consumer credit licence and that an investigation is imminent into their business activities. The details of the investigation have also been handed onto the Trading Standards Authority in Swansea and the Management Monitoring & Compliance Unit with the Ministry of Justice
Be careful out there.
