Hi, your first link didn't work

[kirkbyinfurnesslad]

Cheers silver x!

I've spoken to the SRA re GPB as they obtained a CCJ against me a couple of years ago and I've been paying them on a monthly basis.

 

The SRA gave me the following information;

 

If you are paying any debt to them you should contact the Intervening Agents, John Owen of Gordons LLP on 01274 709516 for further information. They don't deal with any payments and the solicitor taking over will contact you in due course.

Not sure why it took them so long. Perhaps it was shortly after they moved their office to 1 The Augean Stables, that the stench became unbearable.

I think this should be a sticky, very good news that one lot of 'solicitors for rent' have been closed down.

 

I can think of several others who ought to get the same treatment.

 

I did say that 'solicitors for rent' would be a good target for the regulators ages ago.

[fletch70]

Does this mean that they have actually been closed for good or just activities suspended. There seems to have been no action taken against the partners so what is stopping some or all of them setting up again?

[oleg]

Hilarious that their lassoo logo has rebounded on them.

I recall their website featured some of the staff celebrating a charity fun day in a canoe. Had I been on the river bank I would have been sorely tempted.

Now then !!!!! let us look at the evidence here..... GPB Solicitors, Graham White Solicitors, Roxburghe, Paymypcn.net PCN Parking Services including cumbria or PCN NW who reside upnorth........

well then, the following paragraphs are dedicated to Kirkbyinfurnessladd & Esmerrobbo who continue to try to score points.......I wouldnt touch them with a Bargepole, rather represent myself......

 

Enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

"The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has intervened into the practice of Mr Simon Andrew Clive Newbold, Ms Zakia Khalid and Mr Roy George at GPB Solicitors LLP based at GPB House, Arden Court, Arden Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 6NT.

 

The current Practising Certificates of Mr Newbold, Ms Khalid and Mr George have been suspended as a result of the intervention decision, so they cannot practise as a solicitor.

 

The grounds of intervention for GPB Solicitors LLP and Mr Newbold, Ms Khalid and Mr George are:

 

• Reason to suspect dishonesty on the part of an employee of GPB Solicitors in connection with the practice
  
• Failure to comply with the Solicitors’ Accounts Rules 1998 and the SRA Accounts Rules 2011
  

An intervention means the SRA has closed a firm with immediate effect. We will stop the firm from operating, take possession of all documents and papers held by the firm (including clients' papers), and take possession of all money held by the firm (including clients' money). We are not responsible towards employees or trade creditors of firms that we have intervened in.

 

The SRA has appointed an agent to deal with all live matters currently being dealt with by GPB Solicitors. The agent will assess all on-going matters and deal with those of greatest need first. The SRA's archive team will take control of all other documents and archived files held by the firm.

 

Clients of GPB Solicitors who feel they have an urgent matter that needs attending to can contact the agent on 01274 703903 or by e-mailing [email protected]. Clients who do not feel they have matters that need urgent attention do not need to contact either the agent or the SRA at this time.

 

At this stage of the SRA's work, no further details can be disclosed. It is only if disciplinary proceedings become necessary that any information is released into the public domain.

 

Disciplinary proceedings could either be a sanction carried out by the SRA if agreed by one its independent adjudicators, and could be as severe as a reprimand or a £2,000. If it is decided that a stiffer punishment is required, the SRA will prosecute the matter at the independent Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT). The SDT can levy fines of more than £2,000 and is the only body that can order a solicitor be removed from the Roll."

I wonder if GPB's answerphone will say "We no longer represent Roxburghe, please hold the line while we transfer you to Roxburghe"........

 

I wonder if Sobell is on the substitutes bench

[esmerobbo]

They have actually been suspended for something from 2008 so its nothing to do with Roxburghe.

Let's please keep it civil guys.

 

Thread tidied.

[esmerobbo]

I agree we should keep it civil if the dedications stop! I dont need to score points I have enough history on this site for people to make their own minds up about me.

[HAWC]

I may phone GPB's old number and see what they say

[HAWC]

Just got of the blower and this is what they said

'This Mailbox is currently full, If you know the extension number of the party you wish to speak to then you may enter it here'

[Scouse Magic]

very much in the same way back in may 2013 "Graham White solicitors no longer represent Roxburghe, please hold the line while we transfer you to roxburghe" Not very bona fide
