I have had similar experience with Shire Leasing and a telecoms company called Global Telecoms & Technologies that went bust in February 2010. We specifically took out a 2 year contract with Global, underwritten by Shire Leasing. After Global's demise, we had to transfer to BT. We paid out more money to have BT pick up our telephone services, however we continued to honour the two year contract, only to find that Shire Leasing held a copy, supplied to them by Global which had been changed to a 74 month contract from a 24 month contract!! We are going to go to court on 27 March 2013 and have issued a Counterclaim against Shire. We have the original bottom carbon copy of the documentation that we signed, which clearly differs from the document Shire are relying on. We also discovered that the delivery note given to Shire quite clearly had a forged signature (name was spelt wrong!) Does any have any similar stories involving Shire that we could include in our court hearing? Iain Bailey - BDS architects Cambridge
