There are a number of threads on this forum connected to Yes the Sofa Specalists / Yes Sofa Specialists which you can find by searching. I wanted to start a new thread because most of these threads concentrate on a company now in liquidation called EXCLUSIVE LEATHER SOFAS LIMITED (company no. 04290207) and many other similarly named companies that are now either in liquidation or have been dissolved. Many believe that the group of people (including Gary / Garry Peter Lord and Jerome Good - these are previous directors of the above named companies) who ran these companies are now doing similar work ripping of customers through Yes the Sofa Specialists. There is evidence through the fact that both of the stores for Yes the Sofa Specialists (Brimingham and Droitwich) occupy the same site as E.L.S. / Leather Lords, and customers have testified to having received invoices / receipts with E.L.S headed paper. In addition to this, many people on this forum recognise staff who worked in both stores. The connection between E.L.S. and Yes the Sofa Specialist was disputed by one forum member who claimed that Yes the Sofa Specialist was connected with an old company called Exclusive LOUNGE Sofas. However, there is absolutely no evidence of this whatsoever and no trace of this company exists. So... now that E.L.S., Leather Lords etc etc have all bitten the dust what about Yes the Sofa Specialist?? This is what I would like to discuss in this thread as I am a customer myself who has paid a deposit but not yet seen my sofas! This is what I have gathered so far... Company name Everything is branded as "Yes the Sofa Specialist" but there are no limited companies registered by this name or anything similar. The invoice / receipt does not give a company number, or an official registered company name. Company registered address The website implies that the official address is their showroom in Droitwich: Yes Sofa Specialist Droitwich Retail Park Kidderminster Road Droitwich WR9 9AY However, in the terms and condition on the invoice / receipt the Birmingham showroom is labelled as the "Registered Address" Camp Hill Industrial Estate 1 John Kempe Way Birmingham West Midlands B12 0HU It is not clear who this is "registered" with as I still cannot find a limited company with this as its registered address. I did ring them up and ask them what their Company Name was. "Ollie" answered the phone, and despite others saying that Ollie has identified himself to them as the "area manager" he told me that the manger wasn't in and he didn't know what the company name was. So that is all I have managed to find out! Can anyone else who has had dealings with them please help to add to this thread. The more information we have, the easier it will be to take these people to the small claim court (if necessary). At the moment it seems like the company doesn't actually exist as the most "official" thing about them is the showrooms themselves.
