Firstly, I do not know when these comments were first posted. However, you should be advised that D G Solicitors of 12 Calthorpe Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham are not a firm of solicitors. They are D G Solicitors Limited, a Company with dubious links to HSBC Bank and are a debt collection service, not a regulated firm of solicitors. D G Solicitors have been reported to the Solicitors Regulation Authority and are currently being investigated for making misrepresentations to a civil UK Court and for allegations of fraud.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority have advised that DG Solicitors is not a firm of Solicitors regulated in England/Wales. They do have 7 registered solicitors operating at the same address (part of an HSBC building). D G solicitors have, however, filed documents at Northampton County Court in which they sign as being 'DG Solicitors, Solicitors to the Claimant - HSBC. They are being investigated for this by various agencies. D G Solicitors Limited is not a firm of solicitors but part of HSBC's debt collection service and of Metropolitan Collection Services. DG Solicitors has no legal right to purport to be solicitors or to act as such in a Court of law (although at the latest hearing in the County Court they were replaced by a real firm of solicitors. DG Solicitors Ltd also specialise in 'buying in' debt at a small percentage of the actual debt owed and then bullying people into paying up, even after the 6 year mandatory time limit. These matters are currently being investigated and a report is being filed with the Fraud Squad.

Well well well,

I don't think so. I was served with a claim through the Northampton Bulk Court by this firm of ? Solicitors who claimed to be acting for their client HSBC. I filed a defence and the charges element of the claim was withdrawn, I agreed out of Court to settle a small loan agreement associated with my account. I challenged a number of issues such as poor advice on investment and private banking with HSBC as an OAP, which was ignored. It would appear that this firm of Solicitors did not deal correctly with my defence misrepresented themseleves in Court and were not able to process impartially my claim as they did not inform me as to who they were and their line of business.

I would of course be most interested to be able to follow the complaint against what may have been litigation carried out by a bogus firm of Solicitors.

Hey, they're dealing with us too and we have serious complaints against them. Who do I need to contact, either at HSBC or any of the agencies investigating them.? We can certainly add to the categories of 'misdemeanors' !

[Old Cogger]

agencies investigating them if you have a final response to a complaint from HSBC go to F.O.S., as well, solicitors regulatory auithority etc.

[Old Cogger]

mind you FOS are not up to baring teeth with HSBC just give an opinion mostly against your complaint & disregard high court rulings and FSA guidelines which are breached.
